17、ananas contain a lot of magnesium（镁）which is one of the few elements that will affect the heart. If you eat bananas on an empty stomach, this will lead to a sharp increase in the amount of magnesium in the blood. And blood with a high magnesium content can harm the heart. And pineapples contain a lo
18、t of ferment（酵素）which can also affect an empty stomach.If you have leftovers(剩饭), theyre good to eat in the morning. Just heat them up in the microwave, or even having buttered bread and milk is good.If you have more time and want to have a freshly-made breakfast, then go to a cafe where you can sit
19、 down and enjoy your breakfast. Most of these places feature Chinese food including deep-fried twisted dough sticks（油条）, soybean milk and dumplings.But if you have to take a long commute in the morning and are short of time, then you can buy take-away snacks at street stalls. Beijing has many of the
20、m. The stall owners get up quite early and tend to be near bus stops or residential buildings from 7 am to 9 am. The food can range from western hamburgers and sandwiches, to traditional Chinese preserved eggs, pancakes, porridge, stuffing buns. They also sell various drinks including milk, soybean
21、milk, and tea. And you only need to pay a few yuan for the meal.36. From the passage we can infer that . A. bananas and pineapples are bad for our health. B. bananas have a lot of magnesium in them. C. its good to have bananas and pineapples after meals. D. magnesium and ferment are harmful to us.37
22、. If you have enough time to eat a fresh breakfast, the author suggests you should eat . A. at a cafe B. at home C. at a street stall D. at office38.

24、re . A. cheap B. delicious C. traditional D.cleanBTheres a body of water in Israel that is actually below sea level. Water constantly（不断地）runs into it, but , because of the law of gravity, nothing can flow out of it. Do you know the name of this famous lake? Its called the Dead Sea. Its called this
25、because no living thing could live there. The water is almost dead, compared to what happens with“living water”.When you think of the term “living water”, the image that comes to mind is a rushing river that is flowing. Its filled with life and movement. It doesnt just “receive”, but is also “giving
26、” simultaneously.Many of us believe that we need to receive more of something in order to be happy. Whether what we desire is money or something else, we think we need more of it in order to be fulfilled（满足的）.As a result, we begin to operate in fear and therefore dont give anything because were afra
27、id that we wont have enough. The result? Like the Dead Sea, we become lifeless. Life is meant to flow. When a pool stops flowing, it becomes stagnant（停滞的）. Stagnant water breeds disease and death. It cant breathe. It cant receive any more. If nothing is flowing out, theres no room for anything else
28、to come in.The solution? Give. As you give, youll receive. Its a universal law. You see it at work everywhere. Weve somehow been deceived（欺骗）into believing that if we dont give, well have more. Or were afraid that if we do give, we wont have anything left. On one hand, this seems to make sense. But
29、it doesnt work. Because when we dont give, we shut off the flow of whats coming in.41. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The development of the Dead Sea. B. The special character of the Dead Sea. C. The position of the Dead Sea. D. The present situation of the Dead Sea.42. The underlined

For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high, the air is still and often full of dust, and faraway objects may look unclear. But when a storm is brewing（酝酿）, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things
34、more clearly. Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying:“The farther the sight, the nearer the rain.”Your sense of smell can also help you detect（发现）weather changes. Just before it rains, smells become stronger. This is because smells are repressed in a fair, high pressure center.
35、 When a bad weather low moves in, air pressure lessens and smells are released.You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. And old saying describes it this way:“Sound traveling far and wide, a stormy day will betide（降临）.”And
