I know what you’re thinking: pizza? 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 (跳过) breakfast, and they have a lot of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time. Others think they’re “saving” calories, 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（装填） with vegetables, and you just eat 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 (吃得过多) later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of getting 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 get the fat-burning effects.

试题分析：本文讲述了一些人们对早餐的误解；及不吃早餐能减肥等错误的做法。
小题1:结合第一段中的“But the truth is that you can have last night?s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to”一句可推测“last night?s leftovers”指前天晚上的“剩饭”。故A项的解释“food remaining after a meal”正确。
小题2:第二段中作者主要指出了许多女士不吃早餐，并列举了她们不吃早餐的借口。由此可推出许多人对早餐有着错误的观念。其他三项文中没有提及。所以本题选B。
小题3:在最后一段So eat something in the morning, anything，作者告诉读者一定要吃早餐，并指出了具体建议方法及其重要性。所以本题选D。
小题4:通过阅读全文和when you’re trying to lose weight.可知，本文主要是针对减肥的人的。所以本题选A。
点评：这篇文章文字简单，就总体而言，考生大致能理解和掌握它的大意从选材和文字特点方面可以看出，这篇文章通俗易懂，不“偏”不“怪”。只要仔细阅读就可以完成选项，当然结合常识也可以做出部分题目。

Have you ever seen a horse with toes(脚趾)？Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were no bigger than the cats.These small horses lived in the forest. The toes helped the horses run on the soft, wet ground.
At first, it was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became very cold. Many trees could not live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open fields took the place of forests. The sun made the ground dry and hard.
Horsed began to change, too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry, hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time, horses had only one hard toe on each foot. Now we call this hard toe a hoof.

Do you know how to write an English letter? It is different from the Chinese letter. When we write a letter in English, we should write the date on the top of the right corner. Sometimes we write the insideaddress(信内地址)---the number of the house and the names of the street, city and country. Then we can begin the letter at the left corner. We always use words like “Dear sir”, “Dear Mr/Miss/Mrs …”to begin the writing. At the end of the letter, we usually use expressions as “Yours”, “Yours ever” or “Yours sincerely”. Then sign the writer’s name.
It is also different to write an English envelope. You should write your name and address on the top of the left corner and write the receiver’s in the middle or on the bottom of the right corner.

Look at the center circles of Diagram (图) A and Diagram B.  Which of the centre circles looks larger? 
Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact , they are exactly the same size.
Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase ? Or two faces? Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time. 
"What's happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?" You may wonder at what you see. Don't worry. Here is how it goes:
When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解读) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it "Visual illusion" (视觉错误). 
Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.

Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun around the sky with his chariot（战车）. But now, these ideas have all changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives our “chariot” around the sky.
So what does all this mean? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane （or “chariot”） that is powered by the sun. It has special parts in its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that they can carry on flying at night. In the Greek myths（希腊神话）, Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more efficient than the gods themselves.
This plane is called Solar Impulse （“太阳驱动”号）. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.
So why is solar energy so good for us? Well, other kinds of energy cause a few problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal or gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals（化学制品）from this make things work. But if we use the heat from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything, and there’s no pollution.
Solar energy is not all there yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas, it doesn’t run out. Solar Impulse could keep flying forever. Well, actually, the sun will run out too, one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.
小题1:What does “chariot” really refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A．The Earth.B．The Greek god. C．Solar Impulse.D．Birds.
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE of Solar Impulse?
A．It can only fly at night.B．It has already flown across the US.
C．It is powered by the sun.D．It needs gas to work.
小题3:In the passage, what is mentioned as the cause of pollution in China?
A．Overpopulation.B．Burning coal or gas.
C．Using solar energy.D．Heavy traffic.
小题4:What does the writer mean by “That’s a pretty long flight”?
A．It takes a lot of time to get Solar Impulse going.
B．Solar Impulse moves very slowly.
C．Solar Impulse will be in use for a long time.
D．Solar Impulse has a long way to go to take the place of the sun.
小题5:The passage is most probably taken from___________.
A．a Greek mythB．a science fictionC．a story-bookD．a science magazine

 
“Low *carbon” becomes the most popular words these days because more and more people pay attention to our environment. Not only China but all other    1   concentrate on the topic of “low carbon”. Low carbon life    2    a kind of lifestyle in which people do their best to use less energy. The purpose of the lifestyle is to push us to    3    the environment.
Because of the fast increase of population and human *desire, the human living environment, health and safety are    4    worse and worse. So we can say, the lifestyle is becoming the killer of the earth and human beings. Therefore, low carbon life is needed by man’s own health. So we should develop good    5    in our daily life. For example, when we go shopping, we’d better use    6    plastic bags. We should eat more    7    and less meat. As for clothing, we’d better buy the necessary clothes and not buy clothes with animal *leather. As for housing, when building a    8   , we must use green material; buy the lights that need less energy and remember to    9    the lights when not needed; put rubbish into different kinds and recycle the useful things, like bottles and paper. As for transportation, we can    10    if you go to the places near your house. For short trips, we can ride a bike instead of driving a car. Try to use public transportations. As for working, companies should    11    clerks to use e-mail, MSN and other ways instead of using paper. We use paper only when necessary. For using    12    : If you don’t use computer in a short time, you can change the computer into its “sleep”.
Besides, we should try    13    best to tell the people around us the importance of the low carbon lifestyle. And we can also ask them to    14    us to take the low carbon life, in this way, not only can we make our city better,    15    also it’s good for ourselves.
In all, it weighs greatly for all of us to put the low carbon lifestyle into practice.
