I know what you’re thinking: pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.

I know lots of women who skip breakfast(不吃早餐), and they have a ton of 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 the bottom line is that 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,” says Katherine Brooking R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. 

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 at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers 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.

1. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means_______. 

   A. food remaining after a meal         B. things left undone

   C. meals made of vegetables           D. pizza topped with fruit

2. What can we infer from the text?

A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

   B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. 

   C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. 

   D. Eating vegetables helps save energy. 

3. According to the last paragraph, it is important to________. 

A. eat something for breakfast           B. be careful about what you eat

   C. heat up food before eating it          D. eat calorie-controlled food

4. The text is written mainly for those________. 

   A. who go to work early        B. who want to lose weight

   C. who stay up late            D. who eat before sleep

The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting(插入)flexible needles (针)into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them.

To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the place where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.

Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist(手腕), for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas(然而,反之) the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

1.Acupuncture is a kind of _______.

    A. medical needles          B. medical equipment

    C. medical technique        D. medical examination

2. To perform the acupuncture skillfully, one _______.

    A. has to learn how to insert the needles accurately in the right place

    B. should insert the needles where the pain is to be prevented

    C. needs to be trained for a short period of time

    D. must use fewer needles than in the past

3. According to the 3rd paragraph, we can infer _______.

    A. people must insert a needle in the wrist to prevent the pain in the mouth

    B. people come to realize the shortcomings of the acupuncture

    C. people are convinced to use the acupuncture to cure diseases

    D. people need to make deeper research into the acupuncture

4.Nowadays, more and more people prefer having acupuncture because _______.

    A. acupuncture has no side effects after the operation

    B. acupuncture costs them less than having chemicals

    C. chemicals usually cause many more deaths

    D. they want to protect the traditional Chinese medicine

5. The author of the passage tends to be ________ acupuncture.

    A. strongly against      B. in favor of     C. doubtful about      D. uninterested in

For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.

But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.

Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, “Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know.”

Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.

I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget.

Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on — and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!

I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: “IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin.”

Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.

That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.

I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes — every time.

I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!

1.By saying “Do you see a money tree outside .….,” the mother actually means “_______”

         A.Observation is the best teacher.                 B.Seeing is believing.

         C.The outsider sees the most of the game.       D.It is not easy to gain money

2.The best title for the passage would probably be_______.

        A.My flower garden          B.Marvin helps to realize my dream

         C.Love in Michigan          D.Money grows on trees

3.The underlined word “no - frills” in the fifth paragraph is similar in meaning to_______.

         A.wasteful         B.tight             C.absurd            D.helpful

4.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that the mother is_______

         A.divorced when she was young 

B.not caring for her kids any longer

         C.alone but not at all lonely

D.prouder with her garden than with her kids.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)

It’s only 4 hours flying time from Sydney, but a world away. What better place to rest than a country where the only place people hurry is on the football field and things are done in “Fiji time”?

Viti Levu—Great Fiji—is the largest island. Here you’ll find the capital Suva and the international airport at Nadi. Vatoa, on the other hand, is a tiny island in the farthest part of Fiji. Then there are 331 other islands, many of them with places to stay.

With less than a million people living on islands, you’ll never feel crowded. And with a climate that changes only for five degrees between seasons, there’s never a bad time to come.

From cities to villages, from mountains to beaches, from water sports to wooden artworks, Fiji can give you more adventures and special experiences than you could find almost anywhere in the world.

Whenever you come, wherever you go, you’re sure to see some unforgettable events. From war dances to religious songs. From market days to religious days. It’s not just staged for tourists; it’s still a part of everyday life in Fiji. And any one of us can enjoy Fiji’s spirit by being part of the traditional sharing of yaqona, a drink made from the root of a Fiji plant.

So Why not join us for the experience of a lifetime?

1. Where is the international airport of Fiji?

A. In Suva.     B. In Sydney.     C. On the island of Vatoa.    D. On the island of Viti Levu.
