I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.
I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories(卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food.
But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
小题1:The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.
A.pizza topped with fruitB.things left undone
C.food remaining after a mealD.meals made of vegetables
小题2:According to the last paragraph, it is important to__________.
A.be careful about what you eatB.eat something for breakfast
C.heat up food before eating itD.eat calorie-controlled food
小题3:What can we infer from the text?
A.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
B.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
C.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
D.Eating vegetables helps save energy.
小题4:The text is written mainly for those__________.
A.who go to work earlyB.who go to bed late
C.who eat before sleepD.who want to lose weight
小题5:What does the author advise the readers to do?
A.Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night.
B.Better eat less in the night.
C.Better eat leftovers in the morning.
D.Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories.

举一反三
When you run, you put force that is equal to three times your body weight on your feet. The human foot contains twenty muscles. This means that there is a lot that can go wrong when you run.
Most sports have some kind of running or jumping So experts at many shoe companies work hard to design good sport shoes. First, a designer enters a plan for a shoe into a computer .Engineers then improve the design. A second computer designs a model for the shoe. Then a few pairs are made. Next, the shoe is tested.
Different kinds of sports shoes are made for different uses. Some are made to help marathon(马拉松) runners save energy during a race. Some are made for the stop-and-go kind of running tennis players. But all sport shoes have one thing in common: they are designed to help people’s feet comfortable during sports. Today, nearly every sport has its own special shoe designed for just the kind of running that sport needs.

What happens inside the skull of a soccer player who repeatedly heads a soccer ball? That question motivated a challenging new study of the brains of experienced players that has caused discussion and debate among soccer players, and some anxiety among those of us with soccer-playing children.
For the study, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York selected 34adults, men and women. All of the volunteers had played soccer since childhood and now competed year-round in adult soccer leagues. Each filled out a detailed questionnaire developed especially for this study to determine how many times they had headed a soccer ball in the previous year, as well as whether they had experienced any known concussions (脑震荡) in the past.
Then the players completed computerized tests of their memory and other learning skills and had their brains scanned, using a complicated new M.R.I. technique which can find structural changes in the brain that can"t be seen during most scans.
According to the data they presented at a Radiological Society of North America meeting last month, the researchers found that the players who had headed the ball more than about 1,100 times in the previous 12 months showed significant loss of white matter in parts of their brains involved with memory, attention and the processing of visual information, compared with players who had headed the ball fewer times.
This pattern of white matter loss is "similar to those seen in traumatic (外伤的) brain injury", like that after a serious concussion, the researchers reported, even though only one of these players was reported to have ever experienced a concussion.
The players who had headed the ball about 1,100 times or more in the past year were also generally worse at recalling lists of words read to them, forgetting or fumbling the words far more often than players who had headed the ball less.
小题1:The passage is most probably a______.
A.news reportB.research report
C.story for soccer playersD.text for doctors
小题2:In which way can we find the structural changes in the brain?
A.Computerized test.B.Questionnaire..
C.Scanning.D.M.R.I. technique.
小题3:From the passage we can conclude that frequent heading may have_____.
A.significant effect on brainB.little effect on one"s brain
C.nothing to do with the brain injuryD.one"s memory improved
小题4:What is likely to be the cause of memory loss?
A.Playing soccer frequently.B.Tests of their memory.
C.White matter loss.D.Information processing.
小题5:The underlined word "fumbling" is closest in meaning to______.
A.rememberingB.misunderstanding
C.recallingD.missing

Europe’s deadly outbreak of a rare form of E. coli bacteria (大肠杆菌) has brought new attention to food safety issues. One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplest question is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did the people eat that made them sick?
Of course, one way to avoid these medical mysteries is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply. This is easier said than done, but scientists keep looking for new ways.
Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a high-tech optical scanner. The system is designed to identify the presence of contaminants(致污物) like soil or animal waste on fresh produce. These can be sources of E. coli. E. coli bacteria naturally live in the intestines(肠) of humans and many animals. Most kinds of E. coli are harmless but some can make people sick.
The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unappealing to shoppers.
Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research center in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.
MOON KIM: “We were requested, we were asked, to develop a method to detect contamination in produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample.”
The scanner uses a high-speed camera placed over the conveyer belt that moves the produce along. As the apples move along the belt, the scanner captures images of each piece of fruit.
Moon Kim says the team hopes the system will be available before long.
MOON KIM: “We are targeting for development in commercial plants for the next several years.”
The scanner can direct a sorting machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system is currently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. The inventers hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface.
小题1:What is the main topic of the text?
A.Bacteria. B.A high-tech scanner.C.A camera D.Food safety.
小题2:E. coli bacteria ______.
A.broke out all over the world B.comes from soil or animal waste
C.is extremely harmful to health D.does not cause illness
小题3:The high-tech scanner ______.
A.can help to sort out different fruits
B.make the produce appeal to shoppers
C.can only capture images of the whole apple
D.can identify the presence of contaminants
小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
A.The scanner needs to be improved.
B.The scanner will be available in the next several years.
C.Moon Kim is unwilling to develop the scanner.
D.The scanner is connected to a sorting machine.

Remember how great exercise was when you were a little kid? Back then,racing around the playground or skipping rope for hours,you weren"t thinking fitness,you were thinking entertainment.But in this age of high-tech home equipment and underused(未充分利用的)gym memberships,the simple joy of jumping rope has been forgotten.Rediscovering it will give you a total-body exercise you can find.
Although considered an excellent form of exercise,jumping rope has never gained widespread acceptance because of two fundamental reasons.First,most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular (心血管的) exercise,but they also believe that it is simply too difficult.In other words,they don"t think they"ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes that it takes to achieve a beneficial physical result.Second, many view it as somewhat boring and too repetitive-not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact,jumping rope can be great fun if you find a proper way to practise it.Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce over and over again,people good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps.A single bounce,a double bounce,a skip,a knee-up,side swings,as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.
Now researchers are learning that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning.It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform in parallel(并行地)to each other.In short,jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment,time and space,yet leading to a much healthier life.
小题1:From the first paragraph we learn that_______ .
A.all people now have more advanced equipment
B.jumping rope has disappeared from people"s memories
C.racing around the playground was preferred
D.people now like to have exercise in a gym
小题2:Rope jumping has not spread widely because_______ .
A.it benefits the cardiovascular system
B.it requires little equipment,time and space
C.it is neither easy nor enjoyable
D.it is considered boring
小题3:The first sentence in the 3rd paragraph implies_____ .
A.there are many ways to follow
B.the usual way should not be used
C.the easiest way is always the best
D.there is only one proper way to follow
小题4:According to the researchers, jumping rope _____.
A.only prepares the brain for learning.
B.is suitable for students only
C.helps both brain hemispheres work together
D.can be dangerous for old people
小题5:What is the author"s attitude towards rope jumping?
A.He is arguing against it.B.He is sitting on the fence of it.
C.He is in favor of it.D.He is not clear about it.

Happiness is contagious (有感染力的), as researchers reported on Thursday.
People with the most social connections — spouses, friends, neighbors and relatives — were also the happiest, the data showed. “Each additional happy person makes you happier,” Christakis said.
“Imagine that I am connected to you and you are connected to others and others are connected to still others. It is this fabric of humanity, like an American patch quilt.”
Each person sits on a different colored patch. “Imagine that these patches are happy and unhappy patches. Your happiness depends on what is going on in the patch around you,” Christakis said.
“It is not just happy people connecting with happy people, which they do. Above and beyond, there is this contagious process going on.”
And happiness is more contagious than unhappiness, they discovered.
“If a social contact is happy, it increases the likelihood that you are happy by 15 percent, ” Fowler said. “A friend of a friend, or the friend of a spouse or a sibling (兄弟姐妹), if they are happy, increases your chances by 10 percent,” he added.
A happy third degree friend — the friend of a friend of a friend — increases a person’s chances of being happy by 6 percent.
“But every extra unhappy friend increases the likelihood that you’ll be unhappy by 7 percent,” Fowler said.
The finding is interesting and it is useful, too, Fowler said.
“Among other benefits, happiness has been shown to have an important effect on reduced mortality (死亡率), pain reduction, and improved cardiac (心脏的) function. So better understanding of how happiness spreads can help us learn how to develop a healthier society,” he said.
The study also fits in with other data suggested in 1984 that having $ 5,000 extra increased a person’s chances of becoming happier by about 2 percent.
“A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000,” Christakis said.
小题1:It can be inferred that________.
A.happiness spreads as fast and widely as unhappiness
B.unhappiness spreads faster and more widely than happiness
C.happiness spreads faster and more widely than unhappiness
D.the spread of unhappiness has not been studied by researchers
小题2:Which of the following will increase your chances of becoming happier most?
A.Being in a party with a happy atmosphere.
B.A happy experience of your brother or your parents.
C.A happy trip to a foreign country of your friends.
D.Happiness of your friend’s friend.
小题3:What does Christakis mean by saying “A happy friend is worth about $ 20,000”?
A.A happy friend can help you bring in a wealth of $ 20,000.
B.A happy friend is a wealth which is worth about $ 20,000.
C.A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 2%.
D.A happy friend increases your chances of being happy by 8 %.
