Breakfast
Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn’t take much further thought to believe that adults will feel better and perform better at work as well. Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to skip breakfast.
If we don’t eat breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel. By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee, or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunchtime we are hungry, I bad-tempered, and perhaps our mood might make us a little more likely to make unhealthy choices at lunch. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
People who eat breakfast are generally more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals, but that isn’t a good idea. The body expects to be refueled a few times a day, so start with a healthy breakfast.
A healthy breakfast should contain some protein and some fiber. Protein I can come from meat, eggs, beans, or soy. Fiber can be found in whole cereals, grains or in 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 soy milk.
16 Adults who eat breakfast will perform better at work.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned
17 It is okay to skip breakfast if you work at home.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned
18 Men are more likely to skip breakfast than women.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned
19 A person who skips breakfast is more likely to eat unhealthily at lunch.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned
20 Skipping breakfast is a good strategy for losing weight.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned
21 A simple breakfast cannot be a healthy breakfast.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned
22 People who eat breakfast are se1dom in a bad mood.
A Right B wrong C Not mentioned

The Drink Your Body Needs Most
l Our bodies are estimated to be about 60% to 70% water. Blood is mostly water, and our muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste, and protects our joints and organs.
2 We lose water through urination, respiration, and by sweating. If you are very active, you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise. Symptoms of mild dehydration include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation. A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellow color indicates that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is an obvious sign of dehydration and in fact, you need water long before you feel thirsty.
3 A good rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, you should drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. If you exercise you should drink another 8-ounce glass of water for every 20 minutes you are active. If you drink coffee or alcohol, you should add at least an equal amount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane, it is good to have 8 ounces of water for every hour you are on board the plane.
4 It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day. Be sure you have water handy at all times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working, traveling, or exercising. If you get bored with plain water, add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor. There are some brands of flavored water available, but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you don’t need.

第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题，每道题后面都有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇 Sleepwalking
Not all sleep is the same every night. We experience some deep, quiet sleep and some active sleep, which is when dreams happen. You might think sleep walking would happen during active sleep, but a person isn’t physically active during active sleep. Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the stage called slow-wave or deep sleep.
Not all sleepwalkers actually walk. Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they’re awake when in fact, they’re asleep! Most, however, do get up and move around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour.
Sleepwalkers’ eyes are open, but they don’t see the same way they do when they’re awake and often think they’re in different rooms of the house or different places altogether. Sleepwalkers tend to go back to bed on their own and they won’t remember it in the morning.
Researchers estimate that about l5% of kids sleepwalk regularly. Sleepwalking may run in families and sometimes occurs when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or is stressed.
If sleepwalking occurs frequently, every night or so; it’s a good idea for your mom or dad to take you to see your doctor. But occasional sleepwalking generally isn't something to worry about, although it may look funny or even scary for the people who see a sleepwalker in action.
Although occasional sleepwalking isn't a big deal, it's important, of course, that the person is kept safe. Precautions should be taken so the person is less likely to fall down, run into something, or walk out the front door while sleepwalking.
3l. Sleepwalking usually occurs
A) during deep sleep.
B) during active sleep.
C) during dreams.
D) during quiet hours.
32. Which is true of most sleepwalkers?
A) They simply sit up.
B) They simply stand in bed.
C) They act like they’re awake when asleep.
D) They get up and walk for some time.
33. Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed
A) after waking up.
B) after being woken up.
C) by themselves.
D) with the help of others.
34. You’d better go and see a doctor if you
A) come across sleepwalking often.
B) have never experienced sleepwalking.
C) sleepwalk occasionally.
D) sleepwalk frequently.
35. Precautions should be taken to
A) prevent people from sleepwalking.
B) keep sleepwalkers safe.
C) avoid running into sleepwalkers.
D) ensure the safety of people asleep.
第二篇 What Is Shyness
People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time, I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to function in a social environment.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality (个性) do. As we grow u and become adults, we have allowed our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten (幼儿园) or elementary school or wherever it was that our shyness first took root in our psyches (心灵).
36. In the author’s view, shyness can be defined as
A a disease that can be easily cured.
B a not very normal mental condition
C an emotional disability
D something we pick up after birth
37 In the eyes of the author, it’s a waste of time to
A look for ways of doing away with one’s shyness
B develop a healthy personality.
C talk with as many people as possible
D study where shyness comes from
38 Which of the following is true of Johnny Carson?
A He dared to speak in front of a national audience
B He has done away with his shyness successfully
C He failed to become a good talk show host
D He was described as a hero in some legend books
39 The passage tells us that Sally Fields was
A proud all the time
B impolite when young
C shy in her early years
D close to Jane Fonda.
40 The author thinks that our shyness is there because
A we are not open enough
B we do not feel secure at heart.
C we try to reach out to others all the time
D we lack certain social skills
第三篇 Exercise Lowers Employers' Health Costs
Companies can save millions in health-care costs simply by encouraging their employees to exercise a little bit, researchers reported on Friday.
They said obese employees had higher health-care costs, but lowered those expenses by exercising just a couple of times a week -- without even losing any weight.
Feifei Wang and colleagues at the University of Michigan studied 23,500 workers at General Motors.
They estimated that getting the most sedentary obese workers to exercise would have saved about $790,000 a year, or about l .5 percent of health-care costs for the whole group.
Company-wide, the potential salings could reach $7. 1 million per year, they reported in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
Of the whole group of workers, about 30 percent were of normal weight, 45 percent were overweight, and 25 percent were obese. Annual health-care costs averaged $2,200 for normal weight, $2,400 for the overweight, and $2,700 for obese employees.
But among workers who did no exercise, health-care costs went up by at least $100 a year, and were $3,000 a year for obese employees who were sedentary.
But adding two or more days of light exercise -- at least 20 minutes of exercise or work hard enough to increase heart rate and breathing -- lowered costs by on average $500 per employee a year, the researchers found.
"This indicates that physical activity behavior could reduce at least some of the harmful effects of excess body fat，and in consequence，help lower the health－care costs，"Wang and colleagues wrote．
41 How can employees help lower the health－care costs？
A By taking more rest． B By eating less．
C By exercising a little bit． D By saving more money．
42 By encouraging its employees to exercise General Motors could save
A＄790,000 per year B＄7,1 million per year
C＄3,00 per year． D＄7,300 per year
43 How many workers In General Motors were NOT of normal weight？
A Seventy percent ． B Thirty percent ．
C Forty-five percent． D Twenty-five percent
44 For which group of the workers were the health－care costs the highest？
A The employees of normal weight． B The over weight employees．
C he obese employees． D The sedentary obese employees．
45 How often should the employees exercise to help lower the health-care costs？
A At least seven days a week． B At least twenty minutes a week．
C At least twice a week． D At least once a week．
