Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these
30、 people were given all kinds of breakfast, 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
31、 if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially tree 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 in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you dont eat b
32、reakfast, you will 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. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals. 65 The results of the test show that_. （ A） breakfast has great effect
33、 on work and studies （ B） breakfast has much to do with peoples health （ C） a person will work better if he has simple breakfast （ D） breakfast only affects those who work with their brains 66 The passage mentions that many people believe that if you dont eat breakfast, you will （ A） not lose weight

35、 the best title for this passage? （ A） A Good Breakfast （ B） Why Eating Breakfast （ C） No Eating, No Gaining （ D） What is Breakfast 69 “When one of the doctors criticizes(批评 ) me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that Im not wrong.“ says Viola, a nurse
36、. This is a common reaction(反应 ) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism. 1. Try to be objective(客观 ). When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sols reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into makin
37、g that sale,“ Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.“ 2. Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether th
38、e criticism is fair from the other person s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it. 3. Take positive(积极的 ) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing“. “I finally realized tha
39、t my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,“ says Sheila. “His criticisms didnt really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.“ In Sheilas case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, thats an
40、 extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isnt worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan. 69 When Sol was criticized by his employer, he_. （ A） argued bitterly with his emplo
41、yer （ B） was angry and gave up his job （ C） was sorry for what he did （ D） was sad and self-pitying 70 According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because_. （ A） people may have a mistaken idea of what you did （ B） you should welcome other people s opinions （ C） people may
42、 discuss it with you in depth （ D） you need time to understand yourself 71 When the writer says that “the best answer may be nothing“, he means you may decide_. （ A） to take no notice of the criticism （ B） to argue with your boss （ C） you need to change your job （ D） youve done nothing wrong 72 The
43、writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss_. （ A） didnt like her appearance （ B） refused to change his opinion （ C） made an unreasonable criticism （ D） refused to talk to her about the criticism 73 BRITAIN is a popular tourist place.
