If you have to miss one meal day（or if you want to do so），which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don't eat it？ lf they have to make a decision of this type，most people（especially dieters or very busy people）will choose to skip breakfast．
However，many experts in the field of health consider breakfast（the meal which “breaks”your“fast”which started the night before）to be the most important meal of the day．If we eat a good breakfast，they say，we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor．Nevertheless，many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal．What hap-pens if we ignore the importance of breakfast？
One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people．Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83．During the experiment，these people were given a variety of breakfasts，and sometimes，they had to skip breakfast completely．Special tests，including blood tests and endurance tests，were set up to analyze how well the participants'bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast．
The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast，he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person's work involves mental activity．The study showed that if schoolchildren eat fruit，eggs，bread，and milk before going to school，they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lesson for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is inadequate．
The study also showed that，contrary to what many people believe，if you skip break-fast，you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing．So remember，if you are on a diet，skipping breakfast will not help you．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals．
1．According to the passage，if people must miss one meal a day，most of them would skip________．
[ ]
2．In many experts'eyes in the field of health，which of the following is the most important meal of the day？
3．From the recent study，we can find________．
A．if a person skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast，he or she will work more efficiently and more productively
B．if a person eats an adequate breakfast，he or she will gain weight
C．if a person's work involves mental activity eats a rich breakfast，he or she will work efficiently
D．if a child doesn't eat breakfast，he will learn more quickly
4．Which of the following is true？
A．If you skip breakfast，you will work with energy
B．If you skip breakfast，you will lose weight
C．Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
D．If you are off on a diet，you can skip breakfast

A
One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
The author considers it very important ______.
A. to drive with a company B. to have personal independence
C. to gain certain responsibility D. to share trust and cooperation
The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ______.
A. the approaching car was very dangerous
B. they both drove their car at a terrific speed
C. he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
D. it was dark and the road was not wide enough
From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ______.
A. only one experience B. many similar experiences
C. a driver on a dark road D. many friends and strangers
The need for cooperation increases because ______.
A. peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselves
B. certain viruses can spread in a quick way
C. terrorism can happen everywhere and every day
D. the world has become much more dangerous
We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ______.
A. believed in one’s own personal responsibility
B. counted upon himself alone in everything
C. had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
D. had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of life
The United States is one of the few countries in the world that has an official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.
However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her.
It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Roses are the Father’s Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.
When children can’t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needs Dad.

A. many people celebrate the day B. only America celebrate the day
C. America makes it an official day D. all men are honored in America

How many years has passed before Father’s Day became an official day since Father’s Day was

A. 4 B. 10 C. 14 D. 24

A. people will wear the same flowers to honor their fathers

Do junk food ads make kids fat? Should they be banned? Based on the evidence, more and more experts say yes. The latest support comes from a group of New Zealand experts who say they've made a link between kids watching television and bad health.
Researchers from the University of Otago in Dunedin studied 1000 children from age 3 to 26．They found that those who watched television more than two hours a day had higher levels of obesity（肥胖）, blood cholesterol（胆固醇）and smoking — as well as lower levels of physical fitness — when they reached adulthood than kids who watched less than two hours a day. k+s-5#u
Why? Partly because while they are watching TV kids aren't getting out, exercising and playing with other kids, and burning off the calories. But more insidiously（不知不觉地）, while watching TV, they're being shown a lot of ads for drinks and foods of uncertain nutritional value, most of which are full of sugar and fat.
Across the globe, about 155 million kids are obese, according to the International Obesity Task Force. The dangerous thing is not just the well-being of these kids as they grow up, but hundreds of billions of dollars of health costs spent on adults with heart disease, diabetes（糖尿病）, and the disabilities these disease will cause.
In Australia, two thirds of children are overweight and one third are obese. Twenty years ago, only about ten per cent were obese. And Australia has the greatest amount of junk food ads per hour of television than any other country in the world, including the US and the UK. About 30 per cent of all ads in kids' viewing time are for food or drinks. Most of them are for junk food: burgers, chips, soft drinks and sweets —high in fat, salt or sugar.
Here in Australia, experts are also calling for a ban on TV advertising of junk food to kids. The Coalition on Food Advertising to Children （CFAC） wants to make changes to laws, hoping it can ban all food advertising on TV during the time of the day when children under 12 years old are watching. This includes early and afternoon time, and evening TV between 5 pm and 9 pm.
From the passage, we can infer that the underlined word “obsess” probably means ______.
A．very strong B．very weak
C．very confident D．very fat
According to the passage, how many hours can kids watch TV a day if they want to be healthier in the future?
A．more than 120 minutes a day B．less than 120 minutes a day
C．180 minutes or so a day D．240 minutes or so a day k+s-5#u
______ has the greatest amount of junk food ads per hour of TV?
A．Australia B．Chinese C．Canada D．Germany
In the author’s opinion, the junk food ads on TV are bad for kids’ health because _______.
A．They are very expensive and harmful B．They waste a lot of kids’ spare time
C．They persuade kids to eat junk food D．They are more inviting and interesting
