　　Different people eat different foods，especially for breakfast．A typical Japanese breakfast，for example，includes various kinds of seaweed and withered raw or cooked fish in different sauces．Most Chinese like to begin the day with a bowl of thin，rice soup or a similar dish called congee．In Scotland，the basic breakfast is porridge，which is made from a type of grain called oats．The oats are boiled with a little salt until they are soft，and most people also like to add milk or cream，and sugar．The Swiss invented a breakfast called muesli，which is a mixture of different grains and dried fruits．Nowadays muesli can be bought already mixed but many people like to buy the separate ingredients（成分）and mix their own muesli according to their tastes．

　　For most American families，manufactured and packaged breakfast cereals are becoming popular．Western supermarkets sell a wide variety of breakfast cereals．They often contain a lot of sugar and many of them have fun names and sometimes contain little toys，which makes them especially attractive to children．

Most of these cereals are made from a type of grain called corn which is crushed and then cooked under pressure until it is light and crunchy（松脆的）．It is usually eaten with milk，and most people also add fruit or sugar．

There are many companies making cereals，but the first of these and still the most famous is the Kellogg company which makes Kellogg's Cornflakes．The history of this cereal is not widely known．

　　It was invented by J.G. Kellogg，an American，in about 1860．Kellogg belonged to a religious group called the Seventh Day Adventists who were vegetarians—people who don't eat meat--and he wanted to make a breakfast food that would be healthy and not use animal products．However，it was his brother W.K. Kellogg who started the product as a business．At the time，Kellogg was working at a place called the Battle Creek Sanitarium and one of the patients，C.W. Post，realized money could be made from selling the new breakfast cereal．So he started his own business and for many years，Post's“Toasties”were as famous as Kellogg's Cornflakes．

About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed．” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship．

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends．But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality．Loyalty is the most important for friendship．No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them．

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends．It is not based on bloodline．It relies on your intention．To you, some friends are fun－loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity．Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate．In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person．So friendship can benefit．

Keys：

Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.

Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(机械维修，保养) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.

A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom.

B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.

C. Very old people like to live with their children.

D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people.

3. According to the author, which of the following is right?

A. The older a person, the more care he needs. B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values.

C. The human body can’t be compared to a car. D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.
