I bought a jasmine(茉莉) plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom(开花) and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office.

When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something. Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away. In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.

Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

A. one day

D. one year

22. When the writer saw Mary’s jasmine, she felt______.

A. unhappy

B

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.

24. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.

A. different breakfast or none

B. very rich breakfast

C. little food for breakfast

D. no breakfast at all

25. 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

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

A. be healthier

B. not lose weight

C. lose weight

D. gain a lot of weight

27. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.

B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

C. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

D. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.

C
