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(與.....相反) 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: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(簡單的) breakfast
D．those working with brains needn’t have anything for breakfast
小題3:The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.
A．lose weight
B．not lose weight
C．be healthier
D．gain a lot of weight
小題4:Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A．Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.
B．Eating nothing in the morning may cause one to get fatter.
C．Reducing lunch and supper is of less use in weight losing.
D．Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

小題1:D
小題2:A
小題3:A
小題4: C

試題分析：文章介紹了一個對不吃早飯人人的影響的研究。
小題1:D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段3,4行these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all說明D正確。
小題2:A 推理題。通過文章第一段最后5行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.說明吃早飯對人的影響是很大的，故A正確。
小題3:A 推理題。根據(jù)第二段第一行Opposite to(與.....相反) what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight.說明很多人原來以為不吃早飯可以減肥。實(shí)際上比吃早飯，并不能達(dá)到減肥的目的。故A正確。
小題4:C 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一句You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.說明不吃早飯不會讓人減肥，但是不吃中飯和晚飯卻可以讓人減肥，故C的說法是錯誤的。
點(diǎn)評：本短文要注意推理，從文章的細(xì)節(jié)入手，抓上下文的推理。

Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What’s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.
According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn’t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it’s having will power that really gets you into trouble.
Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer. Disgusting, wasn’t it? When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation(attraction) you need will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (諷刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.
These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.
小題1:What do most people think causes bad behavior?
A．Being forced by others. B．Not having enough will power.
C．Enjoying their first experiences.D．Following the examples of their friends.
小題2:The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.
A．will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
B．drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers
C．self-control should be developed when one is young
D．everyone can be challenged by different temptations
小題3:In the last paragraph, the author stresses(強(qiáng)調(diào)) that ____.
A．without self-control, no one can succeed
B．bad habits don’t always lead to bad results
C．a(chǎn)pplying self-control correctly is important
D．people can develop wisdom from bad behavior
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．My First Sip of BeerB．Do You Have Will Power ?
C．Will Power Benefits UsD．Dark Side of Self-control

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”
“Two full inches in the first three days！”
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine，newspaper，radio and television ads，promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs，slim the face，smooth wrinkles，or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than money­making things for their promoters. The results they produce are questionable，and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug，F(xiàn)DA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food，Drug，and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device，F(xiàn)DA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health，F(xiàn)DA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily，or it can take legal action，including seizure(查封)of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor，which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously，most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律訴訟)，and new devices appear continually. Before buying，it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.
小題1:It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.
A．objectiveB．costlyC．unreliableD．illegal
小題2:FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.
A．if it is a drug
B．if it is a device
C．if its consumers make complaints
D．if its distributors challenge FDA's authority
小題3:The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.
A．a(chǎn) product which was designed to produce electricity
B．a(chǎn) product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C．a(chǎn) successful advertisement of a beauty product
D．a(chǎn)n example of a quality beauty product
小題4:The author intends to________.
A．make consumers aware of the promoters' false promises
B．show the weakness of the law on product safety
C．give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D．introduce the organization of FDA

Welcome every morning with a smile. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.
Starting the day right can give good momentum (動力) for the rest of the day. Having a power morning is a key factor for a fruitful day. Here are some tips on getting the most out of the morning.
Wake up early. In theory, there’s no difference in waking up early or late as long as you get the proper amount of sleep. However, there is a psychological advantage when you wake up earlier than the average person and then you’ll have more time to do preparation before engaging in the real world.
Exercise. Good health is always a benefit with exercise, but studies have also shown that morning exercise helps you to sleep better at nights.
Eat breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day. According to the Mayo Clinic, we should choose three from the following four: fruits and vegetables, grains, dairy, and protein. Did you know that you can actually gain weight when you skip breakfast?
Take a shower. When you shower, do you do it in the morning or at night? I used to shower in the evenings, but I found that morning showers helped me to be more alert.
Prioritize (優(yōu)先) your To-Do list. Leo coined the acronym MIT to mean “most important tasks.” Our to-do list might be never ending, but put on top of the list a couple of urgent tasks that will define the day to be a successful one.
Check your emails. Only once. Getting a lot of emails can be very distractive. You actually are more productive when you check them only a few times at fixed time of the day. I only do them 2-3 times a day—once in the morning, once at lunch, and one more as it gets toward the end of the day.
小題1:The purpose for the author to write this passage is to       .
A．tell you to get up early every day
B．offer you the best way to start the day
C．give you advice about how to arrange a day
D．a(chǎn)dvise you to prioritize your to-do list every morning
小題2:If you don’t have breakfast, you may       .
A．lose weight.B．be productive.
C．put on weight.D．be more alert.
小題3:The underlined word “coined” in Paragraph 6 means       .
A．inventedB．designedC．foundedD．defined
小題4:The author advises you to check your emails only once because       .
A．the emails are not important
B．reading e-mails is distractive
C．you can only read e-mails at fixed time
D．getting so many emails can distract your attention

Eating too much fatty food, exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately: the air you breathe.
Previous studies have linked high exposure (暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problem, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke (中風(fēng)）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants (污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers to be of “moderate” (良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.
The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.
小題1:The text mainly discusses the relationship between       .   
A．heart problems and air quality
B．heart problems and exercising
C．heart problems and smoking
D．heart problems and fatty food
小題2:The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probably means   .
A．relatively highB．extremely low
C．relatively lowD．extremely high
小題3:What can we learn from the text?  
A．Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.
B．The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.
C．Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,
D．Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.
小題4:The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to        .
A．informB．persuade C．describe D．entertain
