Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experi­ment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.
Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
【小題1】During the test, those who were tested were given ________.

A.no breakfast at all B.very rich breakfast 
C.little food for breakfast D.different breakfast or none 
【小題2】According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ________.
A.he will fall ill 
B.he will fail to listen to his teacher 
C.he will not make progress in his studies 
D.his mind will work more slowly 
【小題3】The results of the test show that ________.
A.breakfast has great effect on work and studies 
B.breakfast has little to do with a person’s work 
C.a(chǎn) person will work better if he has a simple breakfast 
D.those working with brains should have much for breakfast 
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains. 
B.Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

People who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.
“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher. 
In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms(癥狀).   
Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.
Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.
To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions), the CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings they had experienced that day.
The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.
Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy(堵塞)noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are. For now, it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not!
【小題1】What is the text mainly about?

A.how to get rid of coldsB.Attitude determines life
C.Smiles turn away colds D.Different opinions about colds
【小題2】The word “full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probably means_______.
A.ignorantB.well-informedC.energeticD.in low spirits
【小題3】According to the finding a leading factor of catching colds should be one’s _______.
A.health.B.personality.C.qualityD.mood
【小題4】By saying the last paragraph, the writer intends to suggest_______.
A.positiveemotionsareasgoodasnegativeemotions
B.itisnotnecessarilygoodforyouifyoualwayslookatproblemspositively

Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(輻射)and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.     
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.         
【小題1】Which of the following statements is true?                   

A.Nuclear radiation is just like common radio waves. 
B.Nuclear radiation can cause cancer to human beings.  
C.Nuclear radiation can be detected by human senses. 
D.Nuclear radiation can be safe to human beings if its level is low. 
【小題2】How can nuclear radiation kill an animal?                    
A.By damaging its heart. B.By killing a few cells. 
C.By hitting any place in its body. D.By killing many cells in important organs. 
【小題3】 If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may _______.
A.die of cancer after many years B.die immediately  
C.have a child who may be born weak  D.a(chǎn)ll of the above

C.O.P.D(慢性障礙性肺病) blocks air flow through the lungs. It makes breathing difficult. The leading cause of C.O.P.D. is cigarette smoking. Experts at the National Institutes of Health in the United States say there is no cure to the damage to the lungs.
Dawn Demeo is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She said, “By 2020, C.O.P.D. may be the third leading cause of death across the world.”
C.O.P.D. is a new name for emphysema(肺氣腫) and chronic bronchitis(慢性支氣管炎). These are the two most common forms of the disease. Many people with C.O.P.D. have both of them. And Doctor Demeo says more women than men now die from the disease.
She is the lead author of a study by a team from Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the University of Bergen in Norway. The new study adds to findings that women may be more at risk than men from the damaging effects of smoking.
The team examined results from a Norwegian study of 954 people with C.O.P.D. Inga-Cecilie Soerheim co-wrote the team’s findings. Doctor Soerheim says they show that women suffered the same level of C.O.P.D.as men. But the female smokers were younger and had smoked a lot less.
The team also looked at two groups among the people in the study. These were people under the age of 60 and those who had smoked for less than 20 years. In both cases, women had more serious C.O.P.D. and a greater loss of lung function (功能)than men.
【小題1】Which of the following statements about C.O.P.D is NOT true ______.
A. Cigarette smoking is likely to cause C.O.P.D.

A. female smokers die faster than male ones.  
B. women are more likely to suffer from the damaging effects of smoking than men.
C. women who suffer the same level of C.O.P.D as men were older and weaker.
D. in the group of people under the age of 60, men suffered more from C.O.P.D than women.
【小題3】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A .Smoking Kills
B. Smoking Triggers Diseases
C. The Leading Causes of C.O.P.D.
D. Women Suffers More from C.O.P.D. than Men

While there has been public debate about whether running is good for your health for a long time, experts agree that running has more benefits than the costs. Some people are concerned that the pressure on your knees and ankles can be detrimental. While this can be true, there are many things that you can do to reduce your risk of injury.
You should always go to a doctor for advice before you begin any type of exercise program. Then, a good pair of running shoes can be helpful as your feet hit the ground.

ASK any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizzas, curries, pasta, burgers and chips are bound to get a mention – and many young people would probably also list hanging out at the local fast-food restaurant as one of their favorite pastimes.
But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of four and 18 consume too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. Meanwhile their intake of starchy carbohydrates (淀粉類碳水化合物), fibre, iron, vitamins and calcium is too low.
For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is particularly important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young, rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, dried fruit and fortified (強化的) breakfast cereals (谷類食物) are also recommended.
It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched (根深蒂固的), so it is important that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers’ minds to new flavors and new tastes, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver launched a ‘Feed Me Better’ campaign. As part of a television series, ‘Jamie’s School Dinners’, he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy, nutritious school meal options. Although the campaign was rather resisted at the beginning, it was generally regarded as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.
No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like ‘Feed Me Better’ and the Government's own ‘Change4Life’ campaign continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of balancing occasional treats with healthier food options.
【小題1】What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?

A.British teenagers eat too much junk food.
B.British teenagers need to take in more calcium.
C.What British teenagers like to eat is probably what their bodies need
D.British teenagers should reduce their intake of starchy carbohydrates.
【小題2】Young people need calcium and iron ______.
A.to improve their brainpower
B.to build healthy strong bodies
C.to provide energy for their body
D.to help change their eating habits
【小題3】According to the article, Jamie Oliver launched a campaign at schools to ______.
A.show off his excellent cooking skills
B.teach students how to cook nutritious meals
C.make the public keep an eye on school food
D.improve the children’s diet at school
【小題4】Which is a point that the article supports?
A.Teenagers should never eat any junk food at all.
B.It’s easy for children to give up unhealthy eating.
C.It’s okay for a healthy eater to have a little junk food.
D.Once developed, our eating habit will never change.

Health experts are calling for action to increase cancer care and control in the developing world. A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.
Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two-thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.
They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核) and malaria (瘧疾) combined. But the world spends only 5% of its cancer resources in those countries.
Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.
Felicia Knaul says, “And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico for women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it.”
Professor Knalul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.
【小題1】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Cancer – a leading cause of death in poor countries
B.What should we do in preventing and treating cancer?
C.What makes the first killer in developing countries?
D.Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.
【小題2】Felicia Knaul’s experience in Mexico shows that       .
A.many Mexican women suffer from breast cancer
B.there is not enough medicine for cancer there
C.many Mexican women can’t afford medical care
D.patients with breast cancer are treated differently
【小題3】From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that       .
A.breast cancer is a great threat to young women
B.people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancer
C.breast cancer is the second killer among women in Mexico
D.patients can be treated effectively in developing countries
【小題4】Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?
A.The cancer patients. B.The health experts.
C.Community health workers.D.Young women.
【小題5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.The number of cancer cases is decreasing.
B.HIV/AIDS is not being taken seriously in Africa.
C.Over 7.5 million people die of cancer every year.
D.It is very expensive to treat cancer.

I’m glad to find this comment which has some sort of support in this quest(尋求)I have to eat raw(未煮熟的)foods. I’m an unhealthy 49 years old and have come to the conclusion that it’s now or never, so I am taking a dive into the raw eating lifestyle.
I have to cook for my family and prepare what they want to eat. I’m trying to plan out this better so I have some of these unusual foods ready for myself.
I’ve read several books written by Ann Wigmore and like her approach to the living foods.
Last week I attempted fasting(禁食)and failed. I lasted five days by having carrots, spinach, apples and other vegetarian diets I could get my hands on. I was doing fine until I drank some coffee. I kind of proved it in my mind to have the coffee but it only made me excited and then I couldn’t sleep well and felt hungry and weak. So I stopped and went back to the old way of eating with the family.
This week I started to make a drink called rejuvelac made of sprouted wheat(芽麥). This is fairly new to do for me and the drink smelled sort of musty(發(fā)霉的)and tasted kind of like a musty lemon. The kids tasted it and almost threw up but surprisingly it tasted good to me. It is supposed to help in digestion(消化).
I’ve made some attempts to grow wheat grass. I think I have figured that out as long as I keep it away from birds and our horses. I have two habits to get rid of, drinking coffee and smoking. I quit smoking last month but something happened, so I started up again. I’m very frustrated(受挫的) with the smoking and really have a desire to quit for good. Anyhow I will keep this updated on my progress.
【小題1】The author must have ________ before she wrote this article.

A.hesitated at whether she should eat raw foods
B.never eaten raw foods

A.fasting

【小題3】To the author, the drink made of sprouted wheat ________.
A.might help in digestion

C.tasted good to anybody

A.the author has given up
