For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then, from across the street» someone came walking.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat> a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking； at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight, it was a street with two rows of about fifty small housesf and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child's house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoke air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly> but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a woman' s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat* reached the doorway of the child's house.
She put a key in the lock quicklyt pushed the door open and stepped inside, then closed the door without looking round.
She began to breathe hard. She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen> and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back； but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs» and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small wash-room, that she wanted. Two rooms remained； the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child's bed and the child.

Questions 36〜40 are based on the following passage.
Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of 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 % - from 8. 8 million to 11.7 million — according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.
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 performances/1 said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance. n
Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature/1 says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor. ”
36. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is•
A. the year the author wrote the article
B. 1977
C・ any year between 1977 and 1983
D. 1983
37. For those who do not take breakfast the good news is that.
A. several studies have been done in the past few years
B. the omission of breakfast does no harm to adults' health
C. adults have especially made studies in this field
D・ eating little in the morning is good for health
38. ^•••nor does giving people breakfast improve his performance^ means.
A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance
B. not giving people breakfast improves performance
C. having breakfast doesn't improve performance^ either
D. people having breakfast do improve their performance^ too
39. The word “literature" in the last sentence refers to•
A. stories, poems, plays> etc. B. written works on a particular subject
C. any printed material D. the modern literature of America
40. What is implied but NOT STATED by the author is that•
A. breakfast does not affect performance
B. Dr. Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning
C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children
De Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London
