Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given
16、all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has
17、no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you dont eat breakfast, you will
18、not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing.

22、om-pared to the mixed sounds of a strong wind flowing through a forest and the breaking of waves against a rock. In less time than it takes to tell, a shake, similar to that caused by a nearby explosion (爆炸), shook the building to its bases and it began a series of the most lively movements. Togethe
23、r with a frightening sound, it was followed by big crashes (碰撞) as the neighboring buildings and chimneys fell to the ground. A few blocks away, in a comfortable room in the Palace Hotel, the worlds greatest singer, Enrico Caruso, was asleep after a good performance at the Opera House the night befo
24、re. He awoke to find: Everything in the room was going round and round. The light was trying to touch 第 4 页 共 8 页the ceiling and the chairs were all chasing each other. Crash crash crash!

29、he place at midnight.(C)We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look ba
30、ck, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, its too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we dont really listen, we will miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You are a luck
31、y dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You are a lucky guy” or “You are a lucky girl”, thats being friendly. But “lucky dog ?” There is a bit of envy in those words.
