    If you have to miss a meal a day, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it? If you have to make a decision of this type, most people (especially very busy people) will choose to skip breakfast.
    However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast ( the meal which “break” you “fast” ) to be the most important t meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients (营养) we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力) and stay hopeful with good honor. However, many people skip breakfast or substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?
    One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental(脑力的) activities. The study showed that if school-children eat fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate (集中)on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast is inadequate.
    The study also showed that contrary to what people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you want to lose weight, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will likely lose more weight if you decrease your other meals.
    小题1:According to experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because _____.
    A．a good breakfast breaks you down fast
    B．you’ll lose weight quickly if you skip breakfast
    C．breakfast provides what a person needs to work
    D．after a long night, you’ll feel very hungry
    小题2:The underlined part “substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal”(Para. 2) probably means _______.
    A．to exchange a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal.
    B．To drink a cup of coffee instead of a well balanced meal.
    C．To change a cup of coffee into a well balanced meal.
    D．To regard a cup of coffee as a well balanced meal.
    小题3:The example of school-children in para.3 shows that _______.
    A．school-children will be quick and attentive all day if they eat breakfast
    B．a proper breakfast will make mental workers more efficient
    C．fruit, eggs, bread and milk are the best breakfast for mental workers
    D．school-children who have breakfast are much brighter than those who don’t
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT true according to Para. 4?
    A．Some people skip breakfast because they want to be slimmer.
    B．Most people who skip breakfast actually eat more for lunch.
    C．People put on weight because they eat too much breakfast.
    D．Skipping breakfast won’t help people who want to lose weight.
    小题5:The best title of the passage is _______.
    A．How to Lose Weight
    B．What’s a Healthy Diet
    C．Surprising Results of a Study
    D．Breakfast – A Meal That Breaks You Fast

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:B
    小题4:C
    小题5:D

    小题1:细节题。结合If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients (营养) we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力) and stay hopeful with good honor.可选出答案。
    小题2:推断题。However前讲的是吃早饭的重要性，However表转折，那划线部分则应是说明人们不吃早饭或没有意识到吃早饭的重要性。由此可知此处应是否定吃早饭的做法。
    小题3:细节题。结合The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast.可知答案。此句是本段的中词句。
    小题4:细节题。结合This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. 可知答案。不吃早饭的结果是“中午饭吃得太多，最终是变胖而不是减肥”。
    小题5:标题题。全文讲的是“吃早饭的重要性及不吃早饭带来的后果”。

    There is one type of illness in the world that affects more people than anything else and is very deadly. If untreated this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.
    Everyone's circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.
    So how can we change the way we think, feel, and cultivate a cheerful attitude?
    First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven't or can't do anything, then one step is needed - to set goals.
    Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.
    It takes more than just setting goals to be happy. It takes positive thinking. How can we attain this?
    There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.
    In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it's much easier for your mental body or "thinking ability" to be happy.
    Next, exercise. A half-hour a day is recommended for positive well being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.
    If you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable.
    小题1:Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?
    A．Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.
    B．Depression can all be cured successfully by patients themselves.
    C．Those who suffer from depression feel dissatisfied with themselves.
    D．Those who suffer from depression live in similar circumstances.
    小题2:According to the passage we can learn that ____________.
    A．a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success
    B．we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant
    C．we should avoid challenging goals that may lead to failure
    D．people can enjoy happiness only if they set reasonable goals
    小题3:In order to achieve positive thinking a person should do these things EXCEPT____________.
    A．set challenging goalsB．eat healthier foods
    C．exercise half an hour a dayD．always wear a smile
    小题4:What’s the passage mainly about?
    A．To prove the argument that depression can be changed.
    B．To analyze the danger depression can bring to people.
    C．To introduce to readers how to keep positive thinking.
    D．To recommend some ways to deal with depression.

    Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers over time，according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people．
    Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to disease．Researchers have been studying green tea's effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers，with mixed results so far．
    For the new Japanese study，researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older．
    Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older for three years．
    They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop “functional disability”，or problems with daily activities or basic needs，such as dressing or bathing．
    Specifically，almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled，compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups fl day．
    The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older．
    Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets，including more fish，vegetables and fruit，as well as more education．lower smoking rates，fewer heart attacks and strokes，and greater mental sharpness．
    They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on．
    Although it's not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability，Tomata's team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women．
    While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts，they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K，which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened．
    小题1:Which of the following can summarize the passage best?
    A．Green tea makes you less active．
    B．Green tea makes you less disabled．
    C．Green tea makes you more friendly．
    D．Green tea makes you more educated．
    小题2:The underlined word“ward off”in Paragraph 2 probably means     .
    A．formB．absorbC．remove D．prevent
    小题3:Tomata and his colleagues wanted to     .
    A．prove whether the Japanese study is correct
    B．know if green tea drinkers are independent
    C．help nearly 14，000 adults aged 65 or older
    D．study green tea's effect on cholesterol
    小题4:Which of the following is NOT the advantage of green tea?
    A．Reduce functional disability．
    B．Keep old people active．
    C．Make more friends．
    D．Suffer fewer heart attacks．
    小题5:It can be inferred from the last paragraph     .
    A．green tea is safe to drink
    B．green tea should be drunk properly
    C．green tea is poisonous for old people
    D．vitamin K is helpful to us

    According to a new study by Israel researchers from University of Haifa, posting blogs to express feelings and emotions is therapeutic for children aged 13-17. Psychology professors Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak have found that a teenager writing a publicly-viewed blog on the Internet is more effective for relieving stress rather than keeping a private diary. The study, published in the journal Psychological Services, supports that expressing oneself through writing can be therapeutic.
    To conduct the research, Boniel-Nissim and Barak randomly selected Israeli high school students who displayed a certain degree of stress. The teenagers were then divided into six groups. Two groups were asked to post blogs twice a week about their social difficulties, but only one of them was asked to open the blogs for comments. The next set of groups were also asked to blog twice a week to post about whatever was going on in their mind, again with one group allowing comments. The two control groups were asked to keep an old-fashioned private diary.
    The researchers then collected the blog posts and diaries to discuss the adolescents’ emotional and social position. From the research, they saw that the greatest improvement in mood was with the bloggers who wrote about their personal troubles and allowed people to interact with their posts. The research also noted that the comments were mostly positive and constructive. Boniel-Nissim and Barak said that the commentators’ interactions helped the bloggers while they were distressed. The conclusive research noted that expressing yourself on the Internet not only let others know what was personally going on with you, but also helped you figure out some things about yourself too.
    小题1:The underlined word “therapeutic” in Paragraph 1 can be best explained as “     ”.
    A．attractive to teens
    B．addictive for children
    C．making people feel calm and relaxed
    D．able to be easily hurt
    小题2:______________were selected for the research.
    A．Those who blogged regularly.
    B．Those who suffered from stress.
    C．Those who had never blogged before.
    D．Those who had poor social skills.
    小题3:The research shows that teens benefit most when       .
    A．they blog and allow comments
    B．they discuss their study on the blog
    C．they keep a traditional diary
    D．they comment on someone else’s blog
    小题4:We can infer from the last paragraph that blogging ___________.
    A．should not always be opened to comments
    B．is most useful in improving one’s mood
    C．is not an effective way to express one’s feelings
    D．can help students see their problems better

    A fad diet is a diet that suddenly becomes popular, usually because it promises people that they will lose a lot of weight overnight. Although dieters may really show weight loss from a fad diet, they will almost certainly get back the weight if their usual eating habits (习惯) remain unchanged. Moreover, fad diets continuously call for special products of questionable value or for “health foods” that may cost twice as much as supermarket(超市) foods. Worse yet, certain fad diets don't include nutrients(营养)good for health. People have been known to become very ill as a result of following medically unhealthy diets.
    The worse fact of fad diets, though, is that they keep people who are over-weight or sick from receiving the medical care that they truly need.

    A team of US psychologists have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.
    "Socializing is just as effective as more traditional kinds of mental exercise in boosting memory and intellectual performance," Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.
    In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.
    They found that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive (认知的) functioning.  Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, freinds and neighbors.
    In another experiment, the researchers conducted lab tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate how social interactions and intellectual exercises affected the results of memory and mental performance tests.
    The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the intellectual activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group (对照组) watched a 10-minute clip (电源片段) of the Seinfeld television show.
    "We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved participants’ intellectual performance as much as engaging in so-called ’intellectual’ activities for the same amount of time," Ybarra said.
    The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
    小题1:The underlined word "boosting" in the second paragraph can be replaced by ______.
    A．improvingB．decreasingC．preventingD．training
    小题2:Which is not included in social interaction?
    A．Having a talk with a neighbor.B．Attending a birthday party.
    C．Watching TV at home alone.D．Calling your classmates
    小题3:What’s the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?
    A．To judge the effect of social interaction on memory and intelligence.
    B．To find out what is real social interaction.
    C．To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.
    D．To show the function of people’s cognition.
    小题4:Which of the following questions may be asked in the social interaction group in the experiment?
    A．What does the author want to show us?
    B．Do you like living in a big city or a small one?
    C．Which word can be used to fill in the blank?
    D．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the passage?
    A．Intellectual exercises improve memory.
    B．Different people have different ways of communication
    C．Communicating with others keeps you healthy.
    D．Social interaction makes you smart

    Ever since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye（颜料） broke, there has been confusion over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever.
    Sudan1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but was banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.
    Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled.
    Last week Sudan’s Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for clarification of the origin of the dye’s name.
    Omaima Mahmoud Al Sharief, a press official at Sudan’s Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye.
    　　"We want to keep an eye on every detail and avoid any misunderstanding there," she said. "Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country. But they told us there was no relationship."
    The FSA, an independent food security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudanese embassy last week.
    　"They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name," she said. "People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out."
    Sudan dyes, which include Sudan1 to 4, are red dyes used for colouring solvents（溶剂）, oils, waxes, petrol, and shoe and floor polishes. They are classified as carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
    小题1:What does the underlined word mean in paragraph one?
    A．Causing cancer.B．Having side effect.C．Containing poison.D．Poisonous.
    小题2:How did the Sudan1 get its name?
    A．The dye is often produced in Sudan.
    B．The dye has something to do with the country named Sudan.
    C．Nobody is sure of the origin of the name.
    D．Many foods produced in Sudan contain the dye.
    小题3:We can infer from the passage that        .
    A．the Sudan government is paying much attention to the food safety
    B．Sudan1 is often used to be added to the food
    C．people didn’t realize the danger of Sudan1 until 2003
    D．many food shops will be closed down
    小题4: Which of the following is the best title?
    A．Keep away from Sudan1
    B．No Sudan1 dye links to the country
    C．How Sudan1 dye got its name?
    D．Pay attention to the food safety

    Much of this type of research is focusing on children, and in fact an entire movement has quickly developed to connect kids with the healing power of nature．
