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 skip breakfast, 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), and 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 just about anything 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, 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 yourself some pre bedtime calories.And watch your body gain the fat burning effects.

In the UK you will see people wearing all kinds of clothing. School children usually wear uniforms until the age of 16. For older students, colleges and universities are typically informal environments where they can choose what to wear.
So for classes, most students wear casual clothes, but some courses require you to wear special clothing for health and safety. For example, if you are in a science laboratory, you may need to wear protective glasses and a white lab coat. Check with your course provider what you need and what you should prepare.
For parties and nights out, people dress in many different styles. If it's a more formal evening event, such as a university ball, this might mean wearing a dress or suit and tie. And you can hire them from a local shop to save money.
The weather in the UK is rarely extreme, but it can change quickly. In just one day, you might have warm sunshine, rain and cold wind. Wear several layers so you can put them on or take them off and always carry an umbrella.
The UK is a multicultural (多元化的) place and it is common for people to wear clothing associated (联系) with their culture and religion, for example a head scarf, sari or long skirt. In major towns and cities you will find special shops selling clothing from around the world, especially from Asia and the Middle East. Most UK towns and cities have different shops selling clothes to suit all styles and budgets (预算). As well as high street shops, there are plenty of second hand and old shops. These are perfect for bargain hunting and are often found in student areas.

What is one of the most boring and tiresome words ever Responsibility, I think, is one of those words you have probably heard so many times from authority. Sometimes, it asks us to do things that are unpleasant or even frightening.
Once in a hospital a male patient knocked over a cup of water, which spilled (洒) on the floor beside the patient's bed. The patient was afraid he might slip on the water if he got out of the bed, so he asked his nurse's assistant to mop it up.
The patient didn't know it, but the hospital policy said that small spills were the responsibility of the assistant while large spills were to be mopped up by the hospital's housekeepers.
The nurse's assistant decided that the spill was a large one and she called a housekeeper. The housekeeper arrived but said that the spill was a small one. An argument followed.
“It's not my responsibility，” said the nurse's assistant. “Because it's a large puddle (水洼)．” The housekeeper did not agree. “Well, it's not mine，” she said. “The puddle is too small.”
The patient listened for a while, and then he took a bottle of water from his night table and poured the whole thing on the floor. “Is that a big enough puddle now for you two to decide？” he asked. It was the end of the argument.
So, responsibility is about our ability to respond to situations and to choose the attitudes, actions and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept (观念) of power that puts us in the driver's seat. If you want more control over your life, all you have to do is to be responsible. Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on.
12．According to Para.1, the author thinks that responsibility ________.
A．is the most boring word
B．may upset people sometimes
C．causes people to do bad things
D．matters more to authority figures
13．The nurse's assistant argued with the housekeeper because ________.
A．they looked down upon each other's job
B．they didn't want to break the hospital policy
C．they didn't know what the hospital policy was
D．they each thought the other should mop up the puddle
14．Who probably mopped the water up at last
A．The patient. B．The patient's nurse.
C．The nurse's assistant. D．The housekeeper.
15．The author wants to tell us that, to control our life, we should ________.
A．show others that we are reliable
B．respond to situations quickly
C．learn to be responsible
D．trust no one but ourselves

What is one of the most boring and tiresome words ever Responsibility, I think, is one of those words you have probably heard so many times from authority. Sometimes, it asks us to do things that are unpleasant or even frightening.
Once in a hospital a male patient knocked over a cup of water, which spilled (洒) on the floor beside the patient's bed. The patient was afraid he might slip on the water if he got out of the bed, so he asked his nurse's assistant to mop it up.
The patient didn't know it, but the hospital policy said that small spills were the responsibility of the assistant while large spills were to be mopped up by the hospital's housekeepers.
The nurse's assistant decided that the spill was a large one and she called a housekeeper. The housekeeper arrived but said that the spill was a small one. An argument followed.
“It's not my responsibility，” said the nurse's assistant. “Because it's a large puddle (水洼)．” The housekeeper did not agree. “Well, it's not mine，” she said. “The puddle is too small.”
The patient listened for a while, and then he took a bottle of water from his night table and poured the whole thing on the floor. “Is that a big enough puddle now for you two to decide？” he asked. It was the end of the argument.
So, responsibility is about our ability to respond to situations and to choose the attitudes, actions and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept (观念) of power that puts us in the driver's seat. If you want more control over your life, all you have to do is to be responsible. Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on.
12．According to Para.1, the author thinks that responsibility ________.
A．is the most boring word
B．may upset people sometimes
C．causes people to do bad things

A．they looked down upon each other's job
B．they didn't want to break the hospital policy
C．they didn't know what the hospital policy was

14．Who probably mopped the water up at last
A．The patient. B．The patient's nurse.
C．The nurse's assistant. D．The housekeeper.
解析：选D 推理判断题。护工和清洁人员根据医院的规定来确认自己的职责，都不想去拖地，于是病人将一整壶水都倒在了地上，地上的水更多了，所以应该由负责清理大水洼的清洁人员来处理。
15．The author wants to tell us that, to control our life, we should ________.
A．show others that we are reliable

D．trust no one but ourselves
