Lots of women don’t have breakfast and they have a lot of different excuses for that. Some say they don’t have time, some think they’re losing weight, and others just don’t like breakfast.
But the fact is that eating in the morning is very important, especially when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all. If your pizza is added with vegetables, that’ll be better.
Breakfast is one kind of meal that one should never miss; even one is trying to lose weight.
Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from eating too much later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of getting fat than those who have a morning meal every day.
So if you want to lose weight, you should eat something in the morning. Anything is OK. Having only coffee or orange juice or having no breakfast does harm to your health.
I have a good idea here. I sometimes eat last night’s leftovers for breakfast. It may sound crazy, but it really works for me! I find if I tell myself, “You can eat them tomorrow.” I will put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it yourself. You may save some pre-bedtime calories. Keep it and see how healthy you will be!
What kind of the following food is the best breakfast?

The word “leftovers” probably means “________”.

Which of the following is TRUE?

Wang Hao and Wang Liqin, two of China’s top table tennis players, both saw the World Table Tennis Championships(世锦赛) as a chance to prove themselves. But there was only one trophy(奖杯) and Wang Hao, 25, won it last Tuesday in Yokohama(横滨), Japan.
Wang Hao, who won the men’s doubles title(对打) with Chen Qi last Monday, played with spirit to beat Wang Liqin.
Wang Hao said it was his mental toughness(心理韧性) that made the difference. “I was disappointed(失望) by my performances in past championships and the last two Olympic Games. But I have tried to pull myself together and prepared well. This is the result.”
Wang Hao said he has always understood the importance of physical training(体能训练) and technical skills(技巧). Now he knows the need for mental preparation as well. Having two Olympics silvers(银牌) had left him feeling bitter(辛苦的). The bitterness perhaps explains why he has not always played at his best in the past.
“I’ve come to understand that you can learn important lessons from failure,” he said. “Losing can build your character and make you a stronger player.” His next goal, or dream, is to win the gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
Liu Guoliang, head coach of China’s table tennis team, sang the praises of Wang Hao’s victory. “This is just the beginning of his rise,” said Liu. “it’s the confidence-booster(信心) he needs to make further progress.”
Who won the trophy of the World Table Tennis Championships?

Which of the following is correct about Wang Hao?

According to Wang Hao, he won the match because of ________.

If Wang Hao would like to make further progress, he should ________.

Spiderman(蜘蛛侠) is one of the most famous comic book heroes of all time. He was created by Stan Lee in 1963 and was first introduced to the world in the pages of Marvel comic books.
Spiderman’s story is the story of Peter Parker, a child who lost his parents and lives with his aunt and uncle. Peter is a shy, quiet boy wearing glasses and has few friends. One day, on a high school class trip to a science lab, he gets bitten by a special spider. Soon Peter realizes he has amazing powers: he is as strong and quick as a spider and also has a type of sixth sense. He no longer needs his glasses and he can use his super power to fly through the city streets! Remembering something his Uncle Ben has told him, that “with great power, there must also come great responsibility(责任),” Peter decides to use his powers to fight enemies(敌人) who do cruel things to people. And so, Spiderman is born.
Life is not easy for Peter even though he is a superhero. He is in love with Mary Jane but cannot tell her about his amazing powers. Besides, his best friend Harry hates Spiderman! Peter is also short of money and time. He has to sell photos of Spiderman (himself!) to a newspaper and he keeps losing his other jobs because he’s so busy saving people! Yet he has to fight different kinds of cruel enemies.
Who created Spiderman?

What happened to Peter Parker after he was bitten by the spider?

What does “with great power, there must also come great responsibility” mean?

There was a man who had a little son. He loved him very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy.
When the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do. And he wasn’t able to play with his little son. He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He patiently tore the map up into pieces. Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table. He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world. He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished. Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
After about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished, Dad. Can we play now?”
The man was surprised, saying, “That’s amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was easy. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world appeared completely.”
Why couldn’t the man play with his son that night?

How long did it take the boy to finish the work?

When you are curious about something and want to know more about it, you can use the way of asking questions. Asking questions is the first step to make discoveries and find interesting answers. The following steps can guide you during the research.
Step 1 Write down the subject that you are interested in on a piece of paper. Just get the main idea down. For example, you might write:
Discover more about robots.
Step 2 Stop and think for a moment about what you have already known about your subject. List what you have already known like the sentences below:
1. The first robot appeared in the USA in 1959.
2. A robot can do housework and act as a teacher.
3. Sometimes a robot catches viruses and causes a lot of problems.
Step 3 What can you do with what you want to learn? By asking questions, start writing down questions about the robots on the paper:
1. What might robots be like in the future?
2. What other things can robots do for people?
3. What kind of power will robots possibly use in five years?
Step 4 Armed with your list of questions, you can now go to the nearest library or computer to begin your research. As you learn more about your subject, you’ll probably discover some new questions.
For example, you might discover that robots can help scientists explore dangerous places, like the sea and outer space. How? What happened? Asking new questions can help you research your subject more widely.
The next time you find something interesting to research, take time to organize your thinking by asking good questions. And remember that learning more always brings more questions.
What does the writer advise us to do when we’re curious about something?

What does the underlined part “Armed with your list of questions” mean?

What might be the correct order of the steps when you do research?
① List what you want to learn. ② Find new problems.
③ List what you’ve already known. ④ Choose a research subject.

What might be the best title for this passage?

It’s a goal for millions and millions of families every year to keep the Christmas spending within a certain amount of money, but you can still afford the gifts because your loved ones will enjoy them. This concern (忧虑) is becoming greater and greater theses days. Even so, there are several things that you can do to help.

Hit the sales. No one wants to get up at four o’clock in the morning and fight to get a good deal (交易) on Black Friday ( the first Friday at Christmas time). It’s surely very difficult to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal. But sometimes it can be well worth. Many retailers (零售商) offer specials all through the day. Some even offer online Black Friday specials, so we may still be able to get a great deal on Black Friday.
Read advertisements regularly. Once the Christmas shopping season is coming, retailers will be hungry for business. They will try their best to get us into the store. Please read the weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers from time to time. We may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.
Shop online. Some of us don’t like running from store to store to get the best price on the perfect gift. Some of us don’t like to go out in the cold at all, and then, we can do online shopping.
The world of online shopping makes it possible for us to visit all the major retailers and some
specialty stores on the Internet. We can find exactly what we are looking for at the best possible price without even having to leave the house. With traditional Christmas shopping, it will always take us a long time to wait if we want to get the perfect gift.
The underlined word “specials” in Paragraph 2 means______.

We can have more choices to get a good deal ______.

In this passage the writer wants to ______.

From the passage we can infer (推断) that ______.

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup or a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student   71  in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good   72  easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the   73  for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask   74   they didn’t want him. The answer was simple. “We don’t offer jobs to   75   people in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was   76  to skip buying subway tickets. So   77   save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
  78   times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will   79  sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the   80  rule.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
