life’s essentials、Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip、But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure、So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast、Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent、For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news、Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast、“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E、Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance、”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr、Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”、7The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______、A、the year the author wrote the article B、1977C、any year between 1997 and 1983 D、19837For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______、several studies have

printed material D、the modern literature of America7What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______、breakfast does not affect performanceDr、Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning、The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university、These institutions offer fouryear programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts(B、A、)or Bachelor Science(B、S、)degree、Some students attend a junior college(providing only a twoyear program)for one to two years before entering a fouryear college as a sophomore(二年級生)or junior(三年級生)、It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one、Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average(GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school、Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive、Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships、Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad(graduate)school、Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies、Since college costs are very high, most students work at parttime jobs、Some have fulltime jobs and go to school parttime、Often some will take five or more years to plete a fouryear program because of money / job demands on their time、While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities、Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular、However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity、7College education is _______ in America、A、quite mon B、very rareC、something difficult D、almost impossible7Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools、A、entrance
