29、the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the worlds largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a s
30、eries of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance,in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery,arrowheads,weapons,and jewelry.For many years there were persistent

Eating
36、 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.
37、Between 1977 and 1983,the latest year for which figures are available,the number of people who didnt have breakfast,increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast,however,there is some good news.

Bender,former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London,“nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast

43、in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.
44、 The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering
