9．The manreferred to（谈到） at the meeting yesterday is familiar to all of us．

8．I know what you're thinking：pizza？For breakfast？But the truth is that you can have last night's leftovers in the morning if you want to．
I know lots of women who don't have breakfast，and they have many 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 eating in the morning is very important when you're trying to lose weight．Eating just about anything from 300to 400calories would be better than nothing at all．
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 found that those who don't have breakfast 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 youself some pre-bedtime calories．And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects．

7．Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences，（16）B Trust is a risk．But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake．
Unfortunately，we've all been victims of betrayal．Whether we've been suffer from，lied to，misled，or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust．Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore，（17）E．It's understandable，but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there．
（18）AHaving confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being．
（19）CIf you've been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance．But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a"victim mentality"．At some point in all of our lives，we'll have our trust tested or violated．
You didn't lose"everything"．Once trust is lost，what is left？Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life（20）Ginstead，it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness．

A．Learn to really trust yourself．
B．It is putting confidence in someone．
C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim．
D．Remember that you can expect the best in return．
E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again．
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships．
G．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened．

6．Everybody gets angry，but out-of-control anger isn't good for you or those around you．So
here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger：
•Relax．Breathe deeply，from your stomach．（36）F Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience．
•Change the way you think．When you're angry，your thinking can get exaggerated （夸大的）．（37）A
For instance，instead of telling yourself，"Oh，it's terrible!Everything's ruined，"tell yourself，"It's understadable that I'm upset about it，but it's not the end of the world．"
（38）•C Statements like"This never works．"or"You're always forgetting things．"will make you feel your anger is justified （情有可原的） and there's no way to solve the problem．
They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution．
•Have a better communication．Angry people tend to jump to conclusions．If you are in a heated discussion，slow down．（39）B And take your time before answering．Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head，think carefully about what you want to say．
•Use humor．Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think"things ought to go my way!""Silly humor"can help you get a more balanced perspective．So，when you feel that anger coming the next time，picture yourself as a king or queen，walking around，admired by everybody，and getting your own way in every situation．The more detail you can get into your
imaginary scenes，the more likely it is to put a smile on your face．（40）G

A．Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones．
B．Listen carefully to what the other person is saying．
C．Be careful with words like"never"or"always"．
D．Avoid using these strategies when you're in a tense situation．
E．Try changing the topics so your talks won't turn into arguments．
F．Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as"take it easy"．
G．That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important．

5．Boy In The Tower by Polly Ho-Yen is a story of fear and hope，loneliness and friendship．Ade and his mother live right at the top of a tower block．It can get a bit lonely up there，but Ade
loves to spend hours sitting at the window watching the whole city unfold down below．

4．I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free．But eight months ag our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed．No problem，I thought：we'll buy another．But the insurance payout didn't even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that，with the loan （贷款） we'd need plus petrol，insurance parking permits and tax，we would make a payment as much as£600a month．
And that's when I had my fancy idea．Why not just give up having a car at all？I live in London．We have a railway station behind our house，a tube station 10minutes'walk away，and a bus stop at the end of the street．A new car club had just opened in our area，and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby．If any family in Britain could live without a car，I reasoned，then surely we were that family．
But my new car-free idea，sadly，wasn't shared by my family．My teenage daughters were horrified．What would their friends think about our family being"too poor to afford a car"？（I wasn't that bothered what they thought，and I suggested the girls should take the same approach．）
My friends，too，were astonished at our plan．What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital？（an ambulance） How would the children get to and from their many events？（buses and trains） People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas，before saying they were sure I'd soon realize that a car was a necessity．
Eight months on，I wonder whether we'll ever own a car again．The ideathat you"have to"own a car，especially if you live in a city，is all in the mind．I live-and many other citizens do too-in a place that has never been better served by public transport，and yet car ownership has never been higher．We worry about rising car costs，but e'd be better off asking something much more basic：do I really need a car？Certainly the answer is no，and I'm a lot richer because I dared to ask the question．
28．The author decided to live a car-free life partly becauseC．
A．most families chose to go car-free

3．Dear Alcohol，
You've been around forever．I can remember all the pain you've caused for me．
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．
Do you remember the night of my first high school party？You were there．My friends were intrigued by
you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely．"I'm so embarrassed，"they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit （呕吐）．"I'm sorry，"they said when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance．"is won't happen again，"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped．Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you．
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two bloc away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all．She never saw him again．And it's all your fault．
I wih you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring （引诱） in the people I love．Stop hurting me，please．
Sincerely，
Anonymous

1．In 1968，Easter preparation started on Saturday and Mom colored eggs．Mom boiled a few dozen eggs and while they cooled，Dennis，Diane and I gathered supplies．We put some color powder in each of six bowls，added boiling water and vinegar，and then mixed them together．Before dipping an egg into one of the pretty colors，I'd catch a crayon and carefully print"Darlene"on one egg．Dennis and Diane did the same．Then Mum and Dad put the eggs with our names and some presents in separate baskets．When we hunted on Easter morning，we'd be sure to get the right basket．
Being 8-year-old，I am quite familiar with the rule，and I explained to my younger sister，Diane：Firstly，if you find the basket with the others'egg in it，quietly put it back and continue the hunt．Secondly，if the basket with your egg in it isn't found by fifteen minutes before church，you have to continue looking for it after church．That year I was unlucky，I didn't find my basket before church，so I spent one more hour looking for my hunt．
The next Easter was a diffeent story since I was lucky enough to find my basket first．I was jumping up and down，and staring at the big chocolate rabbit in my basket when Mom and Dad told us to get dressed．I proudly left my basket in the sun porch（门廊） before heading out of the door．
After church，my sisters and brothers ran ahead，but I was pleased to walk between Mom and Dad since I'd already found my basket and huge chocolate rabbit．As I jumped up the porch steps I knew Dennis found his too，since he was laughing his head off．
"Hungry for chocolate soup？"Dennis laughed．"Chocolate soup？"I was surprised．One look at Dennis pointed finger made me realize my beautiful chocolate rabbit was now a chocolate puddle（糊状物）．But I always think of the unforgettable Easters when I was a child．
