Will it matter if you don't have your breakfast ? A short time ago , a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.
The rules show that if a person eats a right breakfast , he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit , eggs, bread and milk before going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight . This is because they are so hungry at noon that eat too much for lunch . They will gain weight instead of losing it . You will lose weight if you reduce your other meals.

Almost every family in America or England buys at least one copy of a newspaper each day. Some people buy as many as two or three different papers.
Why do people read newspapers?
Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometowns, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. But hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and never completely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. If we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to we can look in the newspapers.
In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house or rooms that they can rent, or even when looking for a person who is lost.
60. This article tells us ________.
A. most people in America or England read newspapers every day
B. all people in America or England read newspapers every day
C. every person in America or England reads newspapers every day
D. all families in America or England read newspapers every day
61. Newspapers supply us with ________.
A. only home news B. only world news
C. home news and world news D. important things
62. Today we can read in our newspapers about important events________.
A. that took place hundreds of years ago
B. that took place in faraway countries soon after they happened
C. that will take place in foreign countries
D. that will take place in the world
63. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. The habit of reading newspapers is found among most people.
B. Newspapers not only supply us with news from all over the world but also give us a lot of useful information.
C. Hundreds of years ago news was not wholly true because it was told in spoken words.
D. If you have no place to live in, you can put notice in a newspaper and then you will certainly get a room to live in.
C
In the US, people prefer waiting for a table to sitting with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order. You may find the bread and butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may get a free refill.
Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants, though they usually do make rules for bars. Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24 hours a day.
Servings in restaurants are often large, too large for many people. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later, ask your waitress or waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you’re taking the food for yourself. Supper and dinner are both words for the evening meal. Some people have “Sunday dinner”. This is an especially big noon meal.
Tips are not usually added to the check. They are not included in the price of the meal, either. A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave. In some restaurants, a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there. Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.
64. Which statement is TRUE?
A. American people like sitting with people they don’t know.

A. There are no rules for stores and restaurants.
B. You can enter a bar at any time in the US.
C. Stores may be open around the clock in large cities.
D. Restaurants may be open 24 hours a day in every city.
66. What do American people always do when servings are too large for them?
A. They leave the food on the table and go away.
B. They ask the waitress or waiter to keep the food.
C. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” for their dogs.
D. They take the food home with a “doggie bag” and enjoy the food later.
67. What can you learn about “tips” according to the passage?

C. People are not expected to pay tips in addition.
D. The price of the meal usually includes the tip.

Do you know how to be happy? Here are six ways for you to find more pleasure in your life.
Play that song you love so much. As a preschooler can tell you, repetition can lead to pleasure. When you experience something more than once, you notice more details about it each time, and it increases your enjoyment. That’s why you love revisiting that jazz club, favourite restaurant, and beloved old Woody Allen movie. Of course, you can overdo it.
Don’t buy boxed sets of DVDs. Economist(经济学家) Tyler says that much of the joy we get from our buying lies in the experience of finding them out, getting them home, and opening them up. If you receive 18 DVDs in one package, you’ll use up the excitement all at once. Buy things one a time and space out the pleasure.
Look outside. People long ago spent almost all of their time outside with trees, water, and sky around. The world in which most of us spend our time nowadays is unnatural and can harm the spirit. Even being close to nature for a short time can make us happy.
________. Physical contact with animals works wonders. You can pet an animal. It increases the brain chemicals connected with pleasure and decreases those connected with stress（压力）. Even people without pets can get some of the effect by hanging out for a few minutes at a dog shelter.
Smile. Well, like it or not, smiling improves your mood. Here’s why: people react better to you when you look happy, which in turn leads you to be happy. What’s more, looking happy fools your brain into thinking that you are happy.
68. According to the writer, buying things one at a time can ________.
A. helps us save some money. B. spare time for other activities
C. increase our experience of happiness D. give us more time to consider buying things.
69. What’s the best title for Paragraph 5 ?
A. Exercise the brain B. Pet an animal
C. Reduce work stress D. Hang out more often
70. Which of the following is right?
A. Repetition results in pleasure. B. Smiles fool others’ mood.
C. Animals add to your stress. D. Spending time outside harms your spirit.
71. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. The effect of pleasure on life. B. The writer’s own experience.
C. Another way to find pleasure. D. Reasons for finding more pleasure.

If the child has been brought up in a loving, openly communicative environment, the relationship with parents would be a strong one．It is only when there are ongoing troubles in the relationship between parents and the child that there is a breakdown in communication．
When parents are going through difficulties in their own relationship the child sometimes develops guilt．The child can hold himself or herself responsible for the breakdown in relationship between the parents．This needs to be explained to the child, who won’t speak out this guilt．
The teenage years are emotionally sensitive years to the outside world．For the first time the child realizes his or her position in society．Friends suddenly become more important than parents．It is during this time that the relationship between children and parents is tested．If the bond with parents is strong, the child will not be swayed by the drug and alcohol culture．If the bond is weaker, the child will end up with problems．
During such times, one of the effective ways to deal with the problems is to discuss the problem with the child．As parents, you will need to discuss the consequences of each option and then leave the final decision to the child．Forcing parental will on children is counterproductive (适得其反的), especially at this age．Imposing parental will at this time will stop communicating and then you will not know what is happening in their life．Whatever the problem is, the child need never be made to feel lonely．The moment that happens, the possibility of serious self-harm is raised．
Any problem at this age can be dealt with by a flexible approach by parents．Discuss things calmly．Leave the decision to the individual．Make yourself available for any help or support that the child desires．The child will feel comfortable when allowed the freedom of choice．
72. If parents have trouble with their relationship, the child ．
A．will feel guilty about the trouble B．will be responsible for the trouble
C．will communicate with their parents D．will help the parents recover
73. According to the text, what will lead the child to get into trouble?
A．the sense of responsibility． B．a weak bond with parents．
C．feeling depressed or stressed D．the child’s confidence．
74. The underlined word “ imposing” can be replaced with the word“ ”
A weakening． B pressing． C charging． D losing．
75. What is the text mainly about?
A．The bond between parents and children． B．Causes of teenagers’ problems．
C．Teenagers’ problems and solutions． D．Always letting the children decide．
第Ⅱ卷 非选择题
第一部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸相应题号的横线上。
You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unfortunately, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.
As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether or not it is "easy" reading. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? These latter situations are a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how an author does "his thing" ... he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing(分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.
Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction（非小说）books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common consumer rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than your devotion to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft（工艺）.
As you can see, there is no one simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select authors you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.
