One of the most important meals of the day is breakfast. In order for children to build strong bodies and for adults to keep well, they should always eat a good breakfast. Eating the right food is necessary for good health. You should eat different kinds of food in order to keep a good health.
It is understood that a good breakfast may contain eggs, bread, milk, and so on. By eating breakfast every morning, you can feel alive and active in the morning’s work. After a good breakfast you can step out into the morning air and feel wonderful. Anybody can feel better by eating a good breakfast.
Many fathers and mothers are unable to get their children to eat breakfast. There are many reasons for children not to eat breakfast. One reason could be that they do not have a good example. It could be that the father and mother do not eat breakfast. What ever the reasons are for children not to eat breakfast, it can be bad for their health.
Without breakfast children may not grow as fast as they should and may not study and play as well in school in the morning as they could. They can have more illnesses, and, when they are ill, it may take them longer to be in good health again than it takes children with good health habits.
Good eating habits mean eating breakfast. Unless you eat breakfast, you do not eat a full meal from dinner the night before until lunch the next day. This is quite a long time for the body to go without food.
Food is the source of power for the body. Unless the body gets food, it cannot keep operating at top speed. Without food the body will slow down. Nobody will live without food.

An Australian researcher is urging parents to load up their teenager’s backpack and make them walk to school.
Professor Leon Straker says students who walk or cycle to school are less likely to have back and neck pain. But the study of 1,202 Western Australian 14­year­old found that 72% of students travelled to school by car or bus. Straker says the study suggests walking or cycling while carrying a schoolbag helps improve trunk (軀干) and spinal (脊柱的) muscle strength.
This helps reduce back pain because greater muscle strength improves support for the back during load carrying .Despite advocating that parents get their children moving，Straker warns bag load should not exceed (超過) 15% of body weight.
Straker says the study also stresses that neck pain is as common as back pain among young teenagers. This is an area that has been largely ignored，he says，but can be an important indicator of neck pain into adulthood.
For the study，students were asked a series of questions such as how long they carried their bags for，how they carried their schoolbags，the method of travel，and their perceptions(感覺) about the bag’s weight.
Straker says about half of all participants experienced back and neck pain，with slightly more females reporting neck pain. However，the gender (性別) difference may also be due to the fact that females have lower pain tolerance.
Studies from the 1980s found carrying a bag over one shoulder was most common among teenagers. However in this study 85% of participants carried their bag over both shoulders.
Straker believes the change has been driven partly through education campaigns，but also by increasing fashion status of backpacks and improved design.
小題1:In the opinion of Leon Straker，parents should________.
A．reduce the load of their children’s schoolbags
B．put more books in their children’s schoolbags
C．get their children’s schoolbags ready for school
D．a(chǎn)sk their children to walk to school carrying schoolbags
小題2:If a child weighs 40 kilograms，the weight of his schoolbag should be________.
A．no more than 15 kg
B．less than 6 kg
C．a(chǎn)s heavy as 9 kg
D．more than 6 kg
小題3:We can learn from the passage that________.
A．most of the students in Australia walk to school
B．neck pain is uncommon among young teenagers
C．walking while carrying a backpack helps reduce back pain
D．males are more likely to experience back pain than females
小題4:According to the passage，what change has taken place since the 1980s?
A．How students carry their schoolbags.
B．How heavy students’ schoolbags are.
C．How students go to school every day.
D．How long students carry their schoolbags for.

It seems like every day there's some new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for us.  One day,  science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer. The next day, maybe not.  It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee.  Now there's been a lot of research into whether coffee's good for our health "the results have really been mixed"，admits Neal Freedman who led the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently.   "There's been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there's also  been  maybe  more recent evidence that coffee  may protect against other diseases as well".
Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coffee and health.  They analyzed data collected from  more than  400，000 Americans ages 50 to 70 participating in the study.  "We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non-drinkers， he said.  Here's what he means by "modestly": those who drank at least two or three cups a day were about 10 percent or 15 percent less likely to die for any reason during the 13 years of the study when the researchers looked at specific causes of death, coffee drinking appeared to cut the  risk  of  dying from  heart  disease, lung  disease injuries,  accidents  and infections.
Now, Freedman stressed that the study doesn't prove coffee can make people live longer .A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship.  All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation. And even if it turns out that coffee is really good for you, scientists have no idea why.
小題1:According to the first paragraph，reporters  would like to  know  the research findings of_______.
A． teaB． beerC． coffeeD． wine
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A． Freedman and his colleagues hired 400，000 Americans to collect date.
B． People who took part in Freedman's research are about 50 to 70 years old.
C． About 400, 000 Americans worked for Freedman's team for 13 years.
D． People who are 50 to 70 years old seldom drink wffee.
小題3:According to the author, scientists________.
A． have already proved that coffee is good for human health
B． have a long way to go before they find a way to study coffee
C． have avoided the cause-and-effect approach to study coffee
D． are still unable to figure out why coffee is good for us
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title?

American society is not nap (午睡)-friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “There’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”
Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping,” says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a ha1f-hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid afternoon quiet phase,” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums.
小題1:It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is        .
A．unreasonableB．criminalC．harmfulD．costly
小題2:The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans ________.
A．don't like to take naps
B．a(chǎn)re terribly worried about their national debt
C．sleep less than is good for them
D．have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
小題3:The purpose of this article is to        .
A．warn us of the wickedness of napping
B．explain the danger of sleepiness
C．discuss the side effects of napping
D．convince the reader of the necessity of napping
小題4:The underlined phrase “American sleep debt” in Para. 3 is the result of        .
A．the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
B．the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
C．the rapid development of American industry
D．the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness
小題5:The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is          .
A．preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
B．good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
C．essential to make up for cost sleep
D．natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it

Babies are born yogis. Once we were all able to pull our toes up by our ears and laugh about it. Then we aged, got injured, and began carrying stress in our shoulders and back. In short, we lost our balance.
Yoga（瑜伽） is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union in body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. I was seriously out of balance when I started practicing yoga in 1999. I had plantar facilities in both feet, and my doctor had warned me against all the things I loved to do: walking, hiking, and playing tennis. I was desperate for exercise. Yoga became my salvation and even enhanced my other fitness activities. I practice yoga at least twice a week, but I consider yoga to be part of my daily life because after a while you no longer just practice yoga—you love it.
Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned, and more flexible as you move from one pose to the other. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscle, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of the K.I.S.S. Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism (新陳代謝), it also helps to regulate weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat to be removed around the cells.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need a boost of energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative poses.
Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis courts, in the dentist’s chair, and in traffic jams. You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the pose by letting go of the tension.
Yoga becomes part of your spiritual life. Yoga is practiced by people from all religions; it is not restricted to any religious group. Yoga teaches “right” living in how we deal with ourselves and others. As I work on a difficult pose, I learn patience, forgiveness, and the value of gentleness. Yoga advocates proper eating, but you don’t have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga.
小題1:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．What’s Yoga?B．How I Do Yoga Poses
C．The Benefits of YogaD．The Varieties of Yoga
小題2:According to the third paragraph, yoga can help people __________.
A．grow tallerB．lose weight
C．become flexible in thinkingD．make more friends
小題3:People feel tired after yoga because __________.
A．they consume energy in practicing yoga
B．they respond well to yoga poses
C．they spend too much time on yoga
D．they force themselves into yoga poses
小題4:If this passage continues, what will the writer most probably write about in the next paragraph?
A．Yoga as a means to keep fit.B．Who may like yoga
C．Popularity of yoga all over the world.D．Encouraging people to do yoga.

Nowadays more and more people are trapped in too busy work to relax themselves. We have no time to tell a bed-time story to our children, or enjoy a nice dinner with our family, or take a break to think about how we live the precious life, or even meet friends. All we notice is that the distinctions that used to guide and steady us ------ between Sunday and Monday, public and private, here and there ------ are gone. We have more ways to communicate, but less and less to say. Partly because we’re so busy communicating.
Maybe that’s why more and more people I know, even if they have no religious commitment, seem to be turning to yoga, or meditation, or tai chi. Some friends of mine try to go on long walks every Sunday, or to “forget” their cellphones at home. A series of tests in recent years has shown that after spending time in quiet rural settings, subjects “exhibit greater attentiveness, stronger memory and generally improved cognition. Their brains become both calmer and sharper.” More than that, empathy, as well as deep thought, depends on neural processes that are “inherently slow. ” The very ones our high-speed lives have little time for.
In my own case, I turn to eccentric and often extreme measures to try to keep my sanity and ensure that I have time to do nothing at all. I’ve not yet used a cellphone and I’ve never Tweeted or entered Facebook. I try not to go online till my day’s writing is finished, and I moved from Manhattan to rural Japan.
None of this is a matter of principle or asceticism (苦行主義): it’s just pure selfishness. Nothing makes me feel better-----calmer, clearer and happier----than being in one place, absorbed in a book, a conversation, a piece of music. It’s actually something deeper than mere happiness: it’s joy, which the monk David Steindl-Rast describes as “that kind of happiness that doesn’t depend on what happens.” That is the highest of the highest we have been longing for----The Joy of Quiet.
小題1:The writer sometimes doesn’t do anything because ________.
A．he is out of work .
B．whatever he does make no sense
C．he is worried about his writing.
D．he can enjoy himself in his leisure time.
小題2:When the writer uses the word “forget” , his real meaning is _______.
A．Somebody really forgets his cellphone at home.
B．Somebody thinks cellphone is not a suitable means of communication.
C．Somebody hates modern techniques such as the cellphone.
D．Somebody leaves his cellphone at home on purpose.
小題3:Which of the following is right?
A．It is better to go back to the ancient times since we are so busy now.
B．The writer is unwilling to help others since he is selfish.
C．Slowing down to find time and space to think and enjoy oneself is urgent.
D．We have more to say because we have more ways to communicate.
小題4:What does the underlined word mean?
A．differenceB．samenessC．simplicityD．complication
小題5:What is the main idea of the article?
A．The importance of spending time in quiet.
B．We can do some sports such as yoga to relax.
C．Principle or asceticism is important in one’s life.
D．The more we communicate, the more we will be closer.

Everyone experiences stress at work, but how we cope with it varies. Feeling that you’ve been unfairly treated can be particularly stressful. Researchers believe that failure to express feelings about unfair treatment at work could have serious consequences on your health, especially men, who bottle up their anger at being unfairly treated at work, are up to 5 times more likely to suffer a heart attack, or even die from one, than those who let their frustration （沮喪） show, a Swedish study has found.
The study by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University followed 2,755 employed men who had not suffered any heart attacks. At the end of the study, 47 participants had either suffered an attack, or died from heart disease, and many of those had been found to be covertly coping with unfair treatment at work.
“After adjustment for age, socioeconomic factors, risk behaviors, job strain and biological risk factors at baseline, there was a close-response relationship between covert coping and the risk of incident death,” the study’s authors wrote.
Covert coping was listed as “l(fā)etting thing pass without saying anything” and “going away” despite feelings of being hard done by colleagues or bosses. Men who often used these coping techniques had a two to five times higher risk of developing heart disease than those who were more confrontational (對抗性的) at work, the study showed.
The researchers said they could not answer the question of what might be a particularly healthy coping strategy at work, but listed open coping behavior when experiencing unfair treatment or facing a conflict as “protesting directly,” “talking to the person right away,” “yelling at the person right away” or “speaking to the person later when things have calmed down.” The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
小題1:The study mainly shows that 　　   　 .
A．women are less likely to suffer a heart attack than men
B．most people die of heart disease caused by stress
C．covert coping may result in certain heart trouble
D．employers should treat their workers equally
小題2:Which of the following contributes to the accuracy of the study?
A．The participants were all employed men.
B．The participants tend to bottle up their temper.
C．The participants should not have risk behaviors.
D．The participants had not a history of heart attacks.
小題3: According to the text, if treated unfairly a confrontational person will 　　   　 .
A．just let it be
B．fight back immediately
C．go away silently
D．work even harder
小題4:The last paragraph is intended to tell readers 　　 .
A．that the study is official
B．what the healthiest coping strategy is
C．what the helpful ways of handling unfair treatment are
D．that confrontation is always beneficial to people’s heart health
