Will it matter if you don't have your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. 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 had different kinds of breakfasts.
The rules 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 , eggs, 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 them lose weight. This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.
小題1:During the test, the people were given _________.
A．no breakfast at allB．different breakfast or sometimes none
C．very rich breakfastD．little food for breakfast
小題2:Scientists wanted to know whether __________
A．breakfast had any effect on work and studies. B．people were interested in breakfast
C．breakfast did harm to people’s healthD．people would work better without breakfast
小題3: According to the passage, some people think without breakfast they will ____
A．lose weightB．get a good result in their work

小題4: Which of the following sciences is not right?
A．It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.

A friend and I were standing in line at the grocery store the other day, and I was telling her how lazy my children were．I had come in from work that morning, and like most times, my house was wrecked.

“There are no fingerprints on my walls．There are no sounds of arguing, either．So you see, you are very lucky．I would give anything to be going through what you are now! How I’d love to be able to hold my kids, wipe away their tears and share their dreams! I wouldn’t care how my house looked．I would be happy just to have them.”

“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was __33__ there was a new interest in Shakespeare’s__ 34__ ,” Tanya Cooper, the gallery’s 16th century curator (館長) said.
The __35__ picture has often been used as a cover for __36__ of his plays. It is called the “Flower portrait” because one of its __37__, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There have always been __38__ about the authenticity (真實(shí)性) of the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture (畫像技法),” he said.

The soldiers had just moved to the desert, and as they had never been in such a place before, they had a lot to learn.
As there were no trees or buildings in the desert, it was, of course, very hard to hide their trucks from enemy planes. The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage. They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green, yellow, and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth.
The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it. He spent several hours painting it, preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down. When it was all finished, he went for lunch.
When he came back from his meal, he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt by the truck’s shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced. He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do.
Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course.
“Well,” he shouted to the poor driver, “What are you going to do about it? If an enemy plane comes over, the pilot will at once know that there is a truck there.”
“I know, sir,” answered the soldier.
“Well, don’t just stand there doing nothing!” said the officer.
“What shall I do, sir?” asked the poor driver.
“Get your spade and throw some sand over the shadow, of course!” answered the officer.
小題1:From this passage you can know ________.
A．there were a lot of trees where the soldiers were stationed
B．the soldiers were staying in an area far from the enemy planes

A．The nets with which they covered their trucks were made of small pieces of cloth.
B．The soldiers tied small pieces of cloth to the nets with which they covered their trucks.
C．The nets covering the trucks were painted pale green, yellow and brown.
D．The trucks were tied to the nets with small pieces of cloth.
小題3:The soldier was surprised and worried because ________.
A．his truck had cast a shadow in the sun and the enemy plane would find it.
B．the shadow of his truck was growing longer at noon
C．it was late in the afternoon, and he could not get rid of the shadow
D．his newly-painted truck was in the shadow
小題4: What do you think of the ending of the story?
A．It is quite reasonable that the officer ordered the soldier to cover the shadow with sand.
B．We’ll laugh at the officer’s order because it is where the humor lies.
C．Though the officer’s order sounded wise, the soldier couldn’t cover the shadow.
D．The soldier managed to cover the shadow with sand
小題5:What do you think of the ending of the story?

Violin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon. “It’s very clear, “he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.
Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stern, “children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well.” The Koreans and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.
That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.
小題1:Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ______.   
A．it would allow them access to a better life in the West
B．Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent
C．they wanted their children to enter into the professional fields
D．it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country
小題2: Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ______.
A．enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellence
B．treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development
C．encourage people to compete with each other
D．promise talented children high positions
小題3:Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to ______.
A．a(chǎn)ll-rounded developmentB．the learning of Western music
C．strict training of childrenD．variety in academic studies
小題4:Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage?
A．A natural gift.B．Extensive knowledge of music.
C．Very early training.D．A prejudice-free society.

In 1987, while serving as the public affairs officer at Fort Bragg, I would frequently visit the local high schools to speak to the students about the Army. As a lieutenant colonel(中校), I found it particularly rewarding to talk with the teenagers about the benefits of military service, if only for a few years of their lives.
During one of these visits, I reported to the secretary in the principal’s office to let her know that I was here for the third-period class. I was a little surprised when she told me. “The principal would like to see you before you go to the class.”
As I entered his office, I was greeted by a gentleman who appeared to be in his late thirties, and he welcomed me with a smile and a handshake. “You don’t remember me, do you?” he said.
I looked closely at the face again and could not recall where we may have met before.
“You were my company commander in basic training at Fort Jackson in 1970,” the principal said.
“Let me help you out,” he suggested. “You gave me a three-day pass to go home and see my newborn baby.” I immediately remembered the incident!
“Yes,” I said. “I remember now.” It was the only three-day pass I had issued because the soldiers were on their way to Vietnam immediately after they finished training. But I knew if I did not let him go home to see his son and something happened to him, I would regret denying the opportunity he had to be with his family.
“Come on, Colonel. I’d like to introduce you to ‘the baby’. He’s in your third-period class. By letting me go see him, you gave me a reason to stay focused and to come home safe from that war. Thank you , sir.”
It was the most rewarding class I had ever given, and I had no problem in telling the students about the bonds of friendship and the values that Army life can provide…and that can last a lifetime.
小題1: In the writer’s opinion, talking to teens about the Army is       .
A．a(chǎn) forced taskB．a(chǎn) pleasant thing
C．a(chǎn)n unavoidable dutyD．a(chǎn)n embarrassing experience
小題2: Why did the principal want to see the writer?
A．He wanted to send his son to the Army.
B．He felt sorry for causing the writer trouble.
C．He was disappointed at the writer’s lecture.
D．He intended to express his thanks to the writer.
小題3:The underlined part in the text suggests that       .
A．the son may dieB．the son may become ill
C．the soldier may die in the warD．the soldier may be hurt in the training
小題4: What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A．A soldier remembers.B．A principal thinks
C．A baby growsD．A lecture continues

I had been to several doctors as a child, but I have a special place in my heart for Dr. Vincent. He was a Pediatric Cardiologist at UCLA back in 1971 who saved my life. I was eight years old at the time with a severe heart problem and I needed heart surgery. My Mom did not have the money, and without the surgery there was a real good chance I would not live to be thirteen years old. After contacting several organizations Dr. Vincent was able to get financial help for me through United Way, a Crippled Children’s Organization.
Dr. Vincent was a handsome man; he was also very gentle and caring. I remember being in the hospital for an Angiogram test, and during the procedure I was crying terribly, so the medical staff called in Dr. Vincent to calm me down, and he was able to comfort me when no one else could. Then the time came for me to have heart surgery; there was a fifty- percent chance that I would not make it through the surgery because it was experimental. At the time I was only the second or third person to have this procedure done. I was absolutely terrified, and again Dr. Vincent reassured me he would see to it that everything would be all right.
I had a lot of confidence and trust in Dr. Vincent; He came to see me after the surgery, which was extremely painful but very successful, and brought me a stuffed animal. I was so surprised to get this gift from Dr. Vincent; I gave him a hug. I guess Dr. Vincent must have known I was feeling very lonely and scared. You see, I had no family or friends visit me while I was in the hospital except for my Mom, and I am not sure why. I do know one thing; I had a wonderful doctor who took the time to help a scared little girl who felt all alone.
This was twenty eight years ago, so wherever you are Dr. Vincent, I want to thank you for not only saving my life, but you helped me live a normal productive life, and for showing me that you truly cared, for that I will be eternally grateful to you.
小題1:Why did Dr. Vincent have a special place in her heart? Because________.
A．Dr. Vincent was handsome
B．Dr. Vincent was caring and kind
C．Dr. Vincent carried out the operation.
D．Dr. Vincent offered the money the operation needed.
小題2:Dr. Vincent was called in during my test to ________________.
A．feed herB．comfort herC．scare herD．have the surgery.
小題3:Which of the following is true except ___________.
A．the operation was experimental.B．she didn’t trust in Dr. Vincent
C．the operation would be extremely painfulD．she felt scared and all alone
小題4:How did Dr. Vincent get the money for the operation?
A．He collected it in the hospital.B．He saved the money day by day
C．He got help from an organization.D．He borrowed the money from his friends

A few months ago I was at a bus stop in town in the evening. The bus came on time and I took the window seat. The bus route was by the seashore and I was enjoying the breeze (微風(fēng)) while watching the sea waves. After a few minutes the bus made its next stop. A young boy and a girl got on. They were standing on my left when the bus pulled off. I looked at them curiously and realized that all the window seats were occupied (占據(jù)). They could sit but not together. Suddenly a different wave passed through my body and my inner mind gave me the advice to get up. I got up and offered them my seat. The young lady smiled kindly and said thanks. I occupied another seat and we parted our ways. I don’t remember whether I got off the bus before them or not.
Months passed by. Suddenly one day while I was standing at the same bus stop waiting some time for the bus to arrive I heard a voice.
“Excuse me, Uncle.” I looked in the direction of the voice. It was a beautiful young lady.
Puzzled, I said, “I do not recognize you.”
She said, “Do you remember you gave us your window seat?”
Puzzled, I said, “Maybe, but what is so great in that?”
She said, “If you had not given your seat that day, perhaps I would have not sat with my friend. By sitting together it helped us bridge a misunderstanding that had been between us forever. Do you know we are getting married next month?”
“Good! God bless both of you,” I replied.
The young lady again said thank you and went on her journey. I realized the importance of giving that day.
小題1: Why were the young boy and the girl standing on the bus?
A．Because they wanted to enjoy the sea view.
