Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment(娱乐) to information.

The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation(名声) for believable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a special political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not

those of the owners of the paper.

Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. These parts of the Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are serious subjects. But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.

C. any independent paper D. a popular newspaper 66. The Times is an independent paper because _______.. A. it supports no political parties

B. it is not controlled by the British Government C. it gives special support to all the political parties.

John keeps a record of new words and expressions in English. He usually writes them in a note-book. Then, later in the day, he asks his teacher about them. “Mrs. Thomas, these expressions are new to me. „She‟s blue today.‟， „You‟re yellow‟, „A little white lie‟, „She has green fingers‟.” After looking at the note-book, Mrs. Thomas says, “In everyday English, John，„blue‟ sometimes means sad. „Yellow‟ means afraid. A person with „green fingers‟ grows plants successfully. And „a white lie‟ is not a bad lie.” “I don‟t understand. Please give me an example.” “ For example, I offer you some cake. The truth is that you don‟t like my cake. You don‟t say that. Instead, you say, „No, thanks, I'm not hungry.‟ That‟s a white lie.” John says, “I see , thanks for the explanation!”

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? 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.

76. During the test, those who were tested were given ________. A. no breakfast at all B. very rich breakfast C. little food for breakfast D. different breakfasts or none

77. The results of the test show that ________. A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies B. breakfast has little to do with a person‟s work

C. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast

D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast

78. The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.

A. lose weight B. not lose weight C. be healthier D. gain a lot of weight 79. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. Poor breakfast affects those who work with brains. B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing. D. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

80. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, _____. A. he will fall ill

B. he will fail to listen to his teacher

C. he will not make progress in his study D. his mind will work more slowly
