We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner the most enjoyable. But what about lunch? In today’s fast-paced society, not many people take time to enjoy this midday meal. We just take a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers. Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the corner, we just give up lunch. The development of technology hasn’t done our eating habits much good, either. We are constantly distracted（分神） by e-mails, social media, 24-hour news, and hand-held electronic devices.
Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch. This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both people and society. To take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some views. A break from work allows us to think cleverly and outside the box. It also puts our daily tasks into a wider context（環(huán)境）.
What we eat at lunch is also important. A fast-food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all. And it’s not just about calories and unhealthy food. Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think. However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down and talk about something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and crowded fast food chain.
小題1:Do many people take time to enjoy the midday meal?
小題2:What can cause all kinds of health problems?
小題3:Why should employers encourage workers to take time off for lunch?
小題4:Which is more harmful, having a fast-food lunch or not having lunch at all?

小題1:No./ No, they don’t.
小題2:Long working hours.
小題3:Because long lunch breaks can benefit both people and society.
小題4:Having a fast-food lunch.
小題5:To enjoy a long lunch break and have healthy food.

Talking with people is necessary in our daily activities and it is also very important. However, we all have different styles of communicating. Some people seem to be liked by most of the people while others not! Why does this happen? The answer lies in the simple magic words of communication—Thank you, Please and Sorry!
Let’s see how and why we should use these three words:
◆ Thank you
There is not one day of our life which we spend without taking help from another person. From the time we start our day till we step into our bed for a good night’s sleep, we have taken a number of favors (恩惠). However, how many times do we thank the other person truly? Be free and generous in saying “Thank you”! It does not take away your credit (認(rèn)可), but surely makes the other person happy and more willing to help you next time!
◆ Please
Often we take things for granted (想當(dāng)然) and ask other people to do things for us. This does not help as others feel they are made to do these for you. A simple and sweet “please” could completely change the manner towards you.
◆ Sorry
Everyone makes mistakes, but it is quite difficult to accept it and say sorry for it. This always causes trouble in our relationship. Saying sorry does not disgrace (使丟臉) anyone, instead, puts them in a more polite position.
These three simple words can work wonders for people. If you truly use these words in your day to day communication with people, you will surely find a change in the way people respond (反應(yīng)) to you and your actions.
Three   小題1:  words of communication
Communicating is   小題2:  and plays an important part in our daily activities. Because of different styles of it, some people are very   小題3:  while others are not.
Thank you
We receive help from others   小題4:  day. If you say “Thank you” after getting favors, others will help you   小題5: .
Please
Others should   小題6: you well, right? No! But if you   小題7:  the simple and sweet “Please”, maybe others could change the manner towards you.
Sorry
It is human nature that everyone makes   小題8: . Saying “Sorry” can help you reduce      小題9:  in your relationship.
   You’re   小題10:  to find a change in the way people respond to you if you truly use these words.
