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.
【小題1】The word “l(fā)eftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.
| A．pizza topped with fruit | B．things left undone |
| C．food remaining after a meal | D．meals made of vegetables |
| A．be careful about what you eat | B．eat something for breakfast |
| C．heat up food before eating it | D．eat calorie-controlled food |
| 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. |
| A．who go to work early | B．who go to bed late |
| C．who eat before sleep | D．who want to lose weight |
| 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. |

To switch or not to switch, that is the question．Google’s announcement of its Nexus One smartphone（智能手機(jī)） happened over a week ago and I’m still receiving lots of e-mails from readers asking the same question: Should they give up their iPhone for the Nexus One?
Some people with iPhones, disappointed by American Telephone&Telegraph’s inadequate service and the high monthly cost, are wondering if they have really got something to replace it．Does the Nexus One offer the functions that Apple has led them to expect?
I’m on the fence myself, even though I never thought I’d be interested in anything but the iPhone．From my experience using the Nexus One, and from talking to people who have made the change, it’s not necessarily about the differences between the iPhone and the Nexus One．The phones are extremely similar in design and general feel．Instead, the decision can be made based on the software（軟件） services you use on your desktop．
My friend Chad Dickerson received a pre-launch Nexus One from Google three weeks ago．He said Google’s phone feels connected to certain services on the Web in a way the iPhone doesn’t．“Compared to the iPhone, the Google phone feels like it’s part of the Internet to me,” he said．“If you live in a Google world, you have that world in your pocket in a way that’s cleaner and more connected than the iPhone．”
Personally, the phones work perfectly with their own software, but both of them don’t make an effort to play well with other services．
【小題1】Why are some iPhone users expecting a new type of phone?
| A．Because their old ones are out of date． |
| B．Because they accept Google’s announcement． |
| C．Because of the limited service and high cost． |
| D．Because of the terrible software they can use．． |
| A．Negative | B．Neutral | C．Indifferent | D．Positive |
| A．better than | B．worse than | C．a(chǎn)s good as | D．a(chǎn)s bad as |
| A．Apple’s New Smartphone |
| B．Torn Between Two Phones |
| C．Good Services Matter |
| D．Google’s New Smartphone |

The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history show, hasn’t meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when the enclosures（圈地運動）of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by taking them away from the use of the land, and thus from the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their place of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm（準(zhǔn)則）today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between sexes.
It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were kept out — a problem now, as more teenagers disappointed and annoyed at school and more retired people want to live active lives.
All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some efforts and resources away from the utopian（烏托邦）goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
【小題1】 From the passage we can learn that ____.
| A．jobs have existed since human came into being |
| B．the industrial age brought jobs to everyone |
| C．the industrial age brought the work patterns most people’s work has taken |
| D．in the future more and more people could get jobs as the industry is developing |
| A．paid work | B．unpaid work | C．taxes and benefits | D．land |
| A．more important roles in making a life | B．less important roles in making a life |
| C．roles as weak as after in raising their children | D．roles as important as men in supporting a family |
| A．creating jobs for all must be changed |
| B．enough jobs must be created by our society |
| C．more and more jobs are being created |
| D．industrial age has made many people unable to live without full-time jobs |
