Like other heavily populated nations, India is trying to find new ways to produce more food to feed its ever increasing population. But one of the methods India recently has taken is as old as the Upanishads. It's called simply storing grain. Today in India, they are calling it the“Save Grain Campaign”and it seems to be working.
By planning ahead, the country has opened more land and increased grain production from 51 million tons in 1995. India can now depend on its own grain supply. To reduce post-harvest losses, estimated at 9.33 percent of the nation output, the Indian Ministry of Food has taken several steps to let more people know more about scientific methods of grain storage.
The“Save Grain Campaign”, a pilot program in 1965, now is gaining popularity. There are 17 campaign offices across India. Campaign workers work closely with provincial governments to teach farmers scientific methods of storing food and pest control.

Life on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it has stayed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arrived. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since then, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.
The first plants to stay out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae（海藻）which were followed by other plants that grew close to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution（进化）happened quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots（根), and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 million years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.
59．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
A. life on land probably began 430 years ago
B. the first animal on land came from oceans
C. there wouldn't have been animals without plants
D. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy
60．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Algae probably has stayed for more than 430 million years.
B. It is impossible that algae might be the earliest plant on land.
C. Plants get food from animals in the oceans.
D. Evolution began after animals appeared on land.
61．Plants with roots appeared about ________ million years ago.
A. 430 B. 300 C. 330 D. 100
62．According to the passage, ________ appeared earlier than ________.
A. apples; oranges B. oranges; apples
C. oranges; roses D. algae; wheat
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 in 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.
【小题1】The results of the test show that ______
| A．breakfast has great effect on work and studies. |
| B．breakfast has much to do with people’s health. |
| C．a person will work better if he has simple breakfast |
