It
is said that bananas are the most popular fresh fruit in the United States.
While some fruits, like apples and oranges, are also ____33____ as juice and in
other ways, almost all bananas are eaten ___34____ right out of the peel. What
is so great about bananas? Well, for one thing, they are rich in nutrients and
__35___ like potassium and iron. For another, they have no cholesterol and
___36___ any fat. And most important, for people watching their food bills,
they are ____37____. But this was not always the case. For many years, bananas
were so expensive in America that most people considered them a rare delicacy. Bananas
were brought over here in 1516 by a Spanish priest. They grew well in Central
America, but could not survive in the colder North America climate. The
Puritans got their first taste of bananas in the 1690s, but they hated them!
This is not surprising, for they boiled them and then ate them- skins and all.

Choose the Main idea.
The computer’s ability to process information at high
speed means that when we request information, we get a response very quickly,
often in less than a second. Using the
computer to grade a quiz would get the result back to you more rapidly and save
your teacher’s time since there would be no tests to grade by hand. The implications of the computer’s quick
feedback are obvious. If fast answers
help us to learn better, then the nearly
instantaneous answers that we get from the computer can be of great help in our
education.
39.
What is the main idea of the passage?
a.
Computers
can answer any question.
b.
Computers
grade quizzes better than teachers.
c.
Education
can be helped greatly by computers.
