[1]We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day,and dinner the most enjoyable.It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family.But what about lunch?
[2]In today"s fast-paced society,few people take time to enjoy this midday meal.Most of us just rush right through it.We grab a quick salad,or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers.Sometimes,if there is a deadline around the corner,we just .
[3]The development of technology hasn"t done our eating habits much good either.We are constantly troubled by e-mail,social media,and 24-hour news.Even When we do sit down for lunch,we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves.
[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems,and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break.These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift,but it"s up to them whether they do so or not.
[5]Frank Partnoy,a former Wall Street trader,says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch.This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society.Writing in The Guardian,Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective.A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box.It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context.If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues,we are more likely to slow down,something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain.
[6]Despite these benefits,some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch.Partnoy"s suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult:Employers could ask workers to fill out a form stating their reasons for skipping the meal.

解析
试题分析:这篇短文主要论述了午休时间过短和食用快餐对我们身体带来的危害。从而建议我们午休时间要长,并且要吃健康食品。

小题2:根据第三段的句子:Sometimes,if there is a deadline around the corner,we just .如果有到期的工作,我们就不吃午饭了: skip lunch/don"t take lunch
小题3:细节题:从第四段的句子:These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift,but it"s up to them whether they do so or not.可知这些劳工法是让职员权力在长时间工作期间有吃午饭的权力。give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift
小题4:细节题:从第五段的句子:①We can slow down and gain some perspective.②A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box.③It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context.可知吃午饭的时间长可以让我们放松下来,欣赏风景,可以让我们思考的更有策略,打破常规。可以让我们将日常的工作放在更宽松的环境。
小题5:翻译题:第六段的句子:Despite these benefits,some employees might still be unwilling to take time off for lunch翻译的时候,注意:Despite“虽然”,be unwilling to do“不愿意”,take time off抽时间,尽管益处多多,一些员工也许仍舍不得抽时间享用午餐。

举一反三
[1]E-mail may be the most important, unique method for communicating and developing relationships since the telephone.First of all, ____________.Anyone who can use a word processor can also write an e-mail message without difficulty.Secondly, it saves time and money.It costs nothing more than your time.No paper expense, no postage and no envelope expense.People also find it familiar and safe because it is similar in many respects to writing letters but avoids the annoyances of addressing envelopes, licking stamps, and trips to the mailbox.
[2] Of all the methods for developing relationships on the Internet, e-mail is the most common and perhaps the most powerful.Although friendships and romances may indeed begin in chat rooms, instant messages, blogs, or other online tools improve greatly by becoming more effectively visual and auditory(听觉的), as in video teleconferencing, e-mail will not disappear.Many people will prefer it because it is a non-visual and non-auditory form of communication.After all, we don’t see people rushing out to buy video equipment to add it to their telephone.
[3] E-mail is not just an electronic mail sent via the Internet.It creates a psychological space in which pairs of people or groups of people communicate with each other.It creates a situation in which human relationships can be unfolded.

[2]The mothers of 3,000 five-year-olds took part in the study.They were asked to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period and keep records of how they behaved.The researchers found that 43 percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda.Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.
[3]Children who drank the most soda were more than two times likely to show signs of aggression.“For the children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day,we see an association between aggressive behaviors, attention problems and withdrawn behaviors.”Shakira Suglia says.The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others,taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
[4]Shakira says the researchers identified the link after they considered the factors like the child’s age and sex.They also considered ,such as whether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day.In addition,the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home.
[5]It is not quite clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior pmblems.However,a substance oftell found in soft drinks is caffeine,which helps to make people feel energetic.Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the children to be more aggressive.
[6]The research is part of a larger study called the Fragile Families and Child Welibeing Study.It follows 5,000 poor mothers and their children in 20 American cities.

Last night, on my way home I stopped by to buy some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man came over and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I had none. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change?” I smiled and said, “Sorry, I don’t.” He was respectful, saying, “OK, thank you.” Though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits.
I went in and ate my meal, but I wondered if he was hungry, thinking if I should buy him something or not. Only after I finished my meal did I decide to order another one for him. At this point I didn"t know if he was still around, but I tried anyway. At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, for it was cold outside. As I waited, I noticed the homeless man standing beside me with a tray(盘子)full of a few coins. I looked at him and smiled, “The hamburger and this hot chocolate are for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
No matter how hard your life is, there are always those whose life is harder. And it"s not always about happiness, but it’s about love. If you love someone, you’ll give them what they deserve because the greatest thing you can give is love.

The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life,which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.
Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking),that bring them more success,greater health,increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist,it can mean that you became a very happy person,despite your circumstances,and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better,it will become a selffulfillment prediction.” says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side,even if they meet big problems on their way.”
Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them,rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.

[1]Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. However, you can receive better grades if you want. Yes, even students with average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:
[2]Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule.
[3]Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
[4]Skim before you read. Look over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improve your comprehension as well.
[5]_____, Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material, too. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.
[6]Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test.
[7]There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your studying habits will improve your grades.
