Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the US. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they ate different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight (减轻体重). This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will put on weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
39. During the test, the people were given ________.
A. no breakfast at all B. different foods or sometimes none
C. very rich breakfast D. little food for breakfast
40. The results show that ________.

C. a person will work better if he or she only has fruit and milk
D. girl students should have little for breakfast
41. Which of the following is NOT right?
A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.
B. Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter.
C. If you don’t eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight.
D. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you’ll learn in class.

【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.”可知,吃不吃早餐对人们的学习和工作影响很大,对身体状况影响也非常大。故选A。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast.”可知,一个人早饭吃得适当,工作表现就会更好,并不是吃得越多就学习越快。故选D。
C

After hearing the news, my mother went to the supermarket to buy food and water. My father was checking (检查) our house to make sure it was safe while I was taking the clothes into the house. After my mother came back, I helped her cook in the kitchen. My father put pieces of wood over the windows before strong winds came.
At about nine o’clock in the evening, the wind began to blow strongly outside. After a while, it began to rain heavily. I was very scared! “Would my windows be broken? Would my bed get wet?” I thought. After thinking for some time, I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was still raining and the wind was blowing.
At about 11:00 a.m. the next day, the wind began to die down. At 1:00 p.m., the typhoon finally went away. My father checked our house with me. The typhoon was really strong, but there was almost no loss (损失) in our house! My father told me, “That’s because we prepared very well.”

You cannot see them, but there’re small living things every place you look. They are on the food you eat. They are on the book you are holding now. They are inside and outside your body. You will find them in oceans, lakes, ponds, and rivers.
What are these small things? They are microorganisms (微生物). Microorganisms are living things too small to be seen with just our eyes. Many microorganisms are made of only one cell (细胞). Cells are the smallest units of life. Plants and animals are made of many cells.
Most microorganisms can be seen through a tool called a microscope. A microscope shows an enlarged view of an object. Many classroom microscopes make objects 30 to 60 times bigger than their normal size.
Bacteria
There are many kinds of microorganisms. One of the smallest is called bacteria (细菌). Bacteria can be both helpful and harmful to human life. Harmful bacteria can cause illness. Helpful bacteria help humans swallow and digest (消化) food. They can even help to fight illness.
Protists
Protists (原生生物) are another group of microorganisms. Like bacteria, some protists can be helpful or harmful. Some protists eat bacteria. This helps to keep harmful bacteria under control. Other protists cause diseases. Many harmful protists are found in ponds and lakes.
How do protists compare to bacteria? They are much bigger than bacteria. They also have structures that do special jobs. They have parts for making and using food. They even have parts for making new protists.
49. From the first paragraph, we can know ________.
A. what the small living things really are B. how the small living things cause illness
C. where we can find the small living things D. why the small living things are everywhere
50. ________ can help people see the small things.
A. Microorganisms B. Microscopes C. Bacteria D. Protists
51. According to the passage, protists can ________.
A. all be seen with our eyes B. help people eat and digest food
C. be only helpful for people D. make new protists by themselves
52. The passage mainly talks about ________.
A. the introduction of microorganisms
B. the use of helpful bacteria in human life
C. the differences between bacteria and protists
D. the development of the study on microorganisms
【答案】49. C 50. B 51. D 52. A

There once was a happy monkey living in the forest, eating delicious food when he was hungry and resting when he was tired. One day, he came to a house where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful apples. He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.
The monkey tried to eat them, but he hurt his teeth. They were wooden (木头的) apples, although they were beautiful. And when the other monkeys saw them, he held onto them even harder.
The monkey liked the wooden apples so much that he couldn’t collect fruit from a fruit tree with his hands full. He was so tired and hungry. The apples became heavier and the poor little monkey thought about leaving them behind. Seeing the next fruit tree, he dropped the wooden apples and reached for his meal. He was happy again.
Like little monkey, we sometimes carry things that seem too important to let go. But we become tired of them as time goes by. So, we need to remember that we can receive things only with open hands.

Nelly
When the hard rain and wind happened I was doing the dishes with my brother, Andy. My father was reading a newspaper and my mother was thinking about where to spend our holiday this weekend I thought boating in the lake was great, but now it’s impossible, because it must be a little dangerous there.
Larry
My father was telling me wonderful China’s history at that time. We’ll fly to China next month on vacation.

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the US. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they ate different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight (减轻体重). This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will put on weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
39. During the test, the people were given ________.
A. no breakfast at all B. different foods or sometimes none

With good study habits, you’ll have little or no stress and take tests well. Here is some advice for you to try.
________ You should leave enough time to study every day so that you can learn the text well. Daily study can keep the text fresh in your mind, and you won’t feel bored. It can also be easier to focus (专心), because you won’t have to worry about any other thing.
Decide on proper study space. First think about where to study. A clean, bright and quiet place is right so that you can focus on your study. It’s best for you to make a habit of studying in the same and quiet place each day. Try to stop sitting in front of the TV or around a busy part of your home. Some people like to study in the library or coffee shop. This may not work for you if you’re easily troubled by noise.

What are these small things? They are microorganisms (微生物). Microorganisms are living things too small to be seen with just our eyes. Many microorganisms are made of only one cell (细胞). Cells are the smallest units of life. Plants and animals are made of many cells.
Most microorganisms can be seen through a tool called a microscope. A microscope shows an enlarged view of an object. Many classroom microscopes make objects 30 to 60 times bigger than their normal size.
Bacteria
There are many kinds of microorganisms. One of the smallest is called bacteria (细菌). Bacteria can be both helpful and harmful to human life. Harmful bacteria can cause illness. Helpful bacteria help humans swallow and digest (消化) food. They can even help to fight illness.
Protists
Protists (原生生物) are another group of microorganisms. Like bacteria, some protists can be helpful or harmful. Some protists eat bacteria. This helps to keep harmful bacteria under control. Other protists cause diseases. Many harmful protists are found in ponds and lakes.
How do protists compare to bacteria? They are much bigger than bacteria. They also have structures that do special jobs. They have parts for making and using food. They even have parts for making new protists.

There once was a happy monkey living in the forest, eating delicious food when he was hungry and resting when he was tired. One day, he came to a house where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful apples. He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.
The monkey tried to eat them, but he hurt his teeth. They were wooden (木头的) apples, although they were beautiful. And when the other monkeys saw them, he held onto them even harder.
The monkey liked the wooden apples so much that he couldn’t collect fruit from a fruit tree with his hands full. He was so tired and hungry. The apples became heavier and the poor little monkey thought about leaving them behind. Seeing the next fruit tree, he dropped the wooden apples and reached for his meal. He was happy again.
Like little monkey, we sometimes carry things that seem too important to let go. But we become tired of them as time goes by. So, we need to remember that we can receive things only with open hands.
