"Yes，he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company，” said a second passenger。

”That's right," another lady said, ”I wish a newspa per reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor. "
Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said ，"Excuse me，but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised。

.."

Will it matter if you don’t take your bre akfast？Recently a test was given in the United States。

Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment，these people were given 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 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 don’t eat breakfast，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.
40。

During the test，those who were tested were given ________。

A. no breakfast at all
B. different breakfast or none
C. little food for breakfast
D. very rich breakfast
41. The results of the test show that ________。

A. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast
B。

breakfast has little to do with a person' s work
C。

breakfast has great effect on work and studies
D。

those working with brains should have much for breakfast
42。

The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will______.
A。

not lose weight B. gain a lot of weight
C. be healthier
D. lose weight
43。

According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.
A. he will fall ill B。

his mind will work more slowly
C。

he will not make progress in his study D. he will fail to listen to his teacher
C
Everybody has one of those days when everything goes wrong. This is what happened to Harry.
He got up one morning very late because he had forgotten to wind up （旋）his alarm clock。

He tried to shave（刮脸) quickly and cut himself. When he got dressed he got blood all over his clean shirt, so he had to find another one. The only other shirt that was clean needed ironing, so he ironed it。

While he was ironing it, there was a knock at the door。

It was the man to read the electricity meter（表）. He showed him where the meter was, said good—bye and found that the iron had burnt a hole in his shirt。

The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the
United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world。

In 1964，its population was over 185，000，000.
When this land first became a nation，after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states。

Each of the states was represented(代表）on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent。

As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time，there were 48 stars。

In 1959，however, two more stars were added to the flag，representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii。

Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country。

Sometimes it is said that the Indians are "the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world。

Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world. 48。

The United States didn’t have ___ states until _____。

A. thirteen; 1959 B。

fifty；1964
C. fifty; this land first became a nation D。

fifty；1959
49. Why is English the language of America？
