whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to have no breakfast. if we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). by mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. this might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isnt true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. eating breakfast is good for losing weight. in fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight. a healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维). protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. a good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time. 29. the first paragraph mainly tells us that _.a. it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day b. many adults are too busy to have breakfast every dayc. many adults go to work without having breakfastd. many children go to school without breakfast30. according to the passage, we feel tired at work probably because _.a. we need to have a cup of coffee b. we dont have a good breakfastc. our brains dont work any longerd. we dont have enough sleep at night 31. what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?a. having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work.b. eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day.c. breakfast is really the most important meal in a day.d. you will be happier if you have a good breakfast. 32. we can learn from the last paragraph that _.a. it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfastb. you mustnt have meat for your breakfast c. you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungryd. you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfastdali is from a middle eastern country. he now stays in the usa. he smokes a lot of cigarettes (香烟) every day. he has smoked for nine years. ali says, “ i tried to quit (放弃) smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible. my brothers smoke. all my friends smoke. at parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke. here in the united states, not as many people smoke. it will be easier to change my habit here.”many smokers are like ali: they want to stop smoking. the smokers know that smoking is bad for their health. they know it can cause cancer and heart disease. but it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. the drug is nicotine (尼古丁). people who smoke a lot need nicotine.when a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible. the nicotine makes him sick. in a few days, the smokers body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. without nicotine, he feels bad.it is very hard to quit smoking, and many people who quit will soon smoke again. at a party or at work they will decide to smoke “just one” cigarette. then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. soon they become smokers again. maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking: never start.33. many smokers want to stop smoking because they _.a. want to go to parties b. cant smoke at

you the first or the last child in your family? or were you a middle or an only child? some people think 61 matters where you were born in your family. but there are different ideas about what birth order means. some people say that the oldest children, 62 are smart and strong-willed, are very likely 63 (succeed). the reason 64 this is simple. parents have a lot of time for their first child and
