　　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．

(1)

The underlined 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

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．

B．

C．

D．

　　Children's Books：Hawking's fact and fiction

　　George F．R．Ellis & Ruby

　　BOOK REVIEWED-George's Secret Key to the Universe

　　by Lucy & Stephen Hawking

　　Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time was a huge commercial success．Its achievements in bringing difficult scientific ideas to a wide audience are not so clear．Now the distinguished physicist has teamed up with his daughter Lucy to produce a children's book designed to communicate contemporary physics．Will it capture the attention of young minds and teach them some real science? Or will it be boring and over the heads of the prospective readers?

　　George's Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings．It involves a lost pig, a humorously portrayed intelligent computer, school bullies and a trip through the Solar System．Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics, such as supernova explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up．There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy, and some photographs of astronomical phenomena：planets, comets, galaxies and so on．Overall, the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics, within a science-fiction adventure story．

　　The mixture is great．Children love facts and adventure stories．The combination will catch their interest and keep them occupied for hours．After ten minutes of leafing through the book, my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review．Like any educational tool, it will succeed for some and not for others．I suppose there should be more of the former．

(1)

[　　]

B．
