  I know what you’re thinking:pizza(比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the match 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 anything just 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.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 and you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories.And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

  When Laura reached school-going age the discussions about moving became more urgent (紧迫的). Her father did not want the children to go to school with the village children and for once her mother agreed with him. Not because, as he said, they ought to have a better education than they could get at Lark Rise; but because she feared they would tear their clothes and catch cold and get dirty heads going a mile and a half to and from the school in the village. So empty cottages in the market town were examined and often it seemed that the next week or the next month they would be leaving Lark Rise for ever, but again each time something would happen to prevent the removal, and gradually a new idea came up. To gain time, their father would teach the two eldest children to read and write, so that, if asked by the School Attendance Office, their mother could say they were leaving the small village shortly, and in the meantime, were being taught at home.

  So their father brought home two copies of Mavor's First Reader and taught them the alphabet; but just as Laura was beginning on words of one syllable (音节), He was sent away to work on a distant job, only corning home at weekends. Laura, left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage, then had to carry her book round after her mother as she went about her housework, asking,“Please, Mother, what does h-o-u-s-a spell?”or“W-a-l-k, Mother, what is that?”

  Often when her mother was too busy or too tired to attend to her, she would sit and fix her eyes on a page that might as well have been printed in Hebrew (希伯来语) for all she could make of it, frowning (锁眉) and studying the print as though she would make out the meaning by force of concentration (专注).

  After weeks of this, there came a day when, quite suddenly, as it seemed to her, the printed characters took on a meaning. There were still many words, even in the first page of that simple book, she could not understand; but she could jump those and make sense of the whole.“I'm reading! I'm reading!” she cried aloud.“Oh, Mother! Oh, Edmund! I'm reading!”

1.Laura's father didn't want his children to go to school at Lark Rise because ________.

[  ]

A.it was too far away

B.they couldn't learn enough

C.their hair would become dirty

D.they would ruin their clothes

2.The children's father decided to teach them to read and write so that they ________.

[  ]

A.had an excuse not to have to move

B.had a reason for not attending school

C.could write to the School Attendance Office

D.would be educated before they left the village

3.The underlined part “left at the c-a-t s-I-t-s on the m-a-t's stage”means that ________.

[  ]

A.Laura was working hard and learning quickly

B.her father had no time to teach her

C.her mother was too busy to attend to her

D.Laura knew little about how to read and write

4.From the passage we can infer that ________ made Laura stare at a page in her book.

[  ]

A.her lack of concentration

B.her inability to understand

C.her need to understand Hebrew

D.her determination to understand

5.Laura finally discovered she could read when she ________.

[  ]

A.understood the main idea

B.understood all the words in her book

C.recognized the printed characters

D.jumped the first pages of her book

  One of the Summer's Best Blockbusters, 10 July, 2009

  Author:Vince27 from Canada

  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth movie in the Harry Potter series, and it is the greatest one yet.The movie mixes comedy, romance, drama, and adventures into one, and makes it so marvelous and fun to watch.The acting in this film is more mature and better in quality than in the earlier ones.The trio, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe are amazing in their roles and pull them off well.David Yates gives his best directing in his career to date, and does an amazing job of telling the storyline of J.K.Rowling's fantastic book.The visual effects are so well done and look so real.Although the movie has cut out many things in the book, it is still a great film that most people will enjoy!

  Key Points Missing!12 July, 2009

  Author:zvette929 from the United States

  If you love the series like I do you will know that in every movie they have to cut parts of the book out.For those that have not read the book this movie will impress.I understand the need to cut the movie in order to fit it into a realistic time frame.In doing so, it seems as if they cut key parts in order to allow for more comedy.They also cut out a large action scene at the end of the movie.Another problem is, although there is not as much violence as previous movies the overall film includes adult content that in my opinion warrants the PG-13 rating.Do not misunderstand me.I recommend seeing the movie as it is enjoyable.

  ________, 15 July, 2009

  Author:cernan from the United States

  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a big challenging novel to adapt to the big screen.Initially I had low expectations for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but after seeing the movie, I think it the best in the series and the adaptation is a great success.When you're adapting a 600-page book into a two-and-a-half-hour film, it's inevitable that certain things will get cut.

  The Best Book…The Worst Movie!19 July, 2009

  Author:infernodx from the United Kingdom

  This film is so awful compared to the book that I can't believe people love it.The book is a million times better and I'm hugely disappointed.They have added poor scenes and taken away integral parts of the book.Huge parts of the story have been missed.Pointless scenes have been added to make it appeal to a wider audience.I feel it totally unnecessary as Harry Potter appeals to probably the widest audience of any book.If I were J.K.Rowling I would have asked the producers some serious questions.

  She was very understanding.Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise.

  Walking was all I could do at first.I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance, until one weekend, I found myself saying, “Wow, this seems pretty easy.” So I started to run.

  By my 33rd birthday, I was down to 180 pounds.I started formally training for the marathon.And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start.

  It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water.And I crossed the finish line.My friends sprayed(喷射)me with beer, as if I'd won the Super Bowl.And at that moment, I knew:If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible.
