We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner the most enjoyable. But what about lunch? In today’s fast-paced society, not many people take time to enjoy this midday meal. We just take a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers. Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the corner, we just give up lunch. The development of technology hasn’t done our eating habits much good, either. We are constantly distracted(分神) by e-mails, social media, 24-hour news, and hand-held electronic devices.
Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch. This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both people and society. To take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some views. A break from work allows us to think cleverly and outside the box. It also puts our daily tasks into a wider context(环境).
What we eat at lunch is also important. A fast-food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all. And it’s not just about calories and unhealthy food. Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects on how we think. However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down and talk about something that hardly can be  achieved in a noisy and crowded fast food chain.
Do many people take time to enjoy the midday meal?
 
What can cause all kinds of health problems?
 
Why should employers encourage workers to take time off for lunch?
 
Which is more harmful, having a fast-food lunch or not having lunch at all?

You eat to stay fit and keep your body working, right? Then reading is food for your mind and soul. Reading informs you of what’s happening around. Reading encourages you to think and imagine, think out of the box and imagine the impossible.
In the past, people just read books, only books. Today, we have books online, which makes reading easy. The web, our new storehouse of information is just a click away.But this in no way has stolen the magic of reading books ,the sound of their pages’ flutter(翻页) and their smell…… .You can lie in bed with a book, but with a computer you possibly can’t. No matter how you read, reading is important.
Remember those bedtime stories? We read fun facts about animals, plants and the universe. We ask “whys” and “hows”. In books, we find their answers. Children who are introduced to reading at an early age are seen to have a better understanding of phonics (语音学). They master language skills easily, have a richer vocabulary and have greater reading abilities. Children, who grow up reading good books, mostly stand out. The way they think and act is very different from those who have never been introduced to reading. Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also shapes their personalities. Reading has a great influence on one’s life. Teenagers are easily influenced by whatever they read. If inspirational stories and life experiences are read in one’s teens, they can change a person for the better. They stay with him and keep encouraging him to achieve his goals and choose the right against the wrong.
The more you read, the more creative and imaginative you will become. Reading develops vocabulary, improves language skills and sharpens your problem-solving abilities. It leads to a better understanding of self. Reading gives you knowledge, it makes you more confident. The more you read about others’ lives and experiences, a better decision-maker you will become.
Reading about the importance of reading should lead you to read more, and more, and more. So choose a book you like and don’t stop reading until you reach the end. And even after that read as much as you can.
Which of the following is true?

A.Children should start reading at a young age.
B.Parents should tell their children stories every day.
C.Teenagers should think and act differently from others.
D.Students should find answers to their questions in books.

The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means ______.

A.reading books is no longer a pleasure to people
B.reading books is less interesting than reading online
C.reading online can’t take the place of reading books
D.reading online can’t be difficult for people

What can we infer from the passage?

A.More teenagers read online now.
B.What teenagers read builds their future.
C.What children should learn first is phonics.
D.More practice makes reading easier.

What’s the best title for the passage?

D.When Should Children Start Reading?

Much has been said and written recently about heroes, mainly because many people think we have too few of them. There are many different kinds of heroes, but they all seem to have two things in common. First, heroes, by their actions, show the great possibilities of human nature. Second, heroes can also stand the test of time, and their achievements will not be easily forgotten. Because of these good points, we need to choose our heroes carefully.
Olympic sports star Jackie Joyner-Kersee, who is believed to be a hero, warns young people to be careful of making athletes heroes. She hopes that if someone tries to copy her, it will be because she has achieved her goals by working hard. Joyner-Kersee says that a hero should be someone who has an influence on another person’s life.
Poet Maya Angelou believes that a hero encourages people to treat others well and to be concerned about the greater good. A hero should show politeness, courage, patience, and strength all the time. A hero should encourage others to follow him with actions that improve the world, even if only in small ways.
Author Daniel Boorstin suggests that, “Celebrities are people who make news, but heroes are people who make history.” Thus, if a person is truly worthy to be called a hero, he or she will not be soon forgotten.
We all need heroes. We need to be able to respect people who have been there, done that, and succeeded. Many times the greatest heroes are the people we deal with every day — relatives(亲戚), friends, and neighbors — who will keep going when it is easier to give up. The parent who puts her or his family ahead of herself or himself, the teacher who will make more money at another job but chooses to help others — all these people can be considered as heroes. A hero quietly and continuously sets a good example, an example that inspires others to follow.
Joyner-Kersee hopes that young people ______.

A.will work hard B.will become heroes
C.will follow her D.will achieve her goal

The underlined word “celebrities” in Paragraph 4 means ______.

A.volunteers B.reporters
C.sports players D.famous people

From the passage we know that ______.

A.there are fewer heroes than before
B.many common people set examples to us
C.heroes should be polite, patient and famous
D.heroes have to reach the standard required for them

The best title for this passage is ______.

Every time we turn on the TV or take a ride in a car, we could be adding to a problem called acid rain(酸雨). In this article, we’ll learn something important about acid rain.
The formation of acid rain
When people use fuels (燃料), such as coal and gasoline(汽油), poisonous gases are given off. When these gases come together with rain, acid rain forms. Many power stations burn fuels in order to create the electricity(电) that we use in our homes and offices every day. Cars and trucks also send these gases into the air when they burn gasoline. When rain meets these gases, harmful things called acids form. This is acid rain.
The harm of acid rain
Acid rain destroys everything that it touches. It poisons our rivers, ponds and lakes and oceans along with the life in them. It pollutes our soils and crops, harm trees, and can even kill fish and plants. Acid rain also eats away at our buildings.
The prevention of acid rain
We need to reduce and even stop the pollution that gets into our air. Turn off lights, televisions and other electrical appliances(电器) if we are not using them. Walk and take a bike whenever possible. If we are travelling a long distance, take a bus or train to save fuel.
As research shows, acid rain harms our environment. But people everywhere can take small steps now to help protect our environment for future generations.

Whenever we use electricity or drive our cars we may add something bad to the air around us. And even worse, we may cause a terrible problem—acid rain.
The formation of acid rain
When fuels, such as coal and gasoline are burnt, harmful gases are sent into the air. When these gases       with rain, acid rain forms.
The harm of acid rain
Acid rain is greatly       to the environment. It makes our rivers, ponds and lakes and oceans dirty and       the death of fish and plants. And it can corrode (腐蚀) the buildings we live in.
The prevention of acid rain
Trying to prevent the pollution that gets into the air is      . Keep the electrical appliances off while they are not in use. We can also use different ways of traffic to make less use of fuels.
Research tells us that acid rain harms our environment. So people around the world can take small steps now to make a     to our kids.

Height is just one of the features your genes (基因) decide. In fact, because
you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere
between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably
you will be tall, too. But if you have questions about how tall you’re going to be,
ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.
But genes don’t decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential (潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.
It’s natural that you’re wondering how fast you should grow. There’s no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.
Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm there make a little difference to the height you’re at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?
Don’t be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt (高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later — between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.
You’ll usually begin to notice that you’re growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.

If you want to know how tall you should grow, _______.

A.you should have enough exercise
B.you can record your growth during puberty
C.you should take some special medicine
D.you can ask doctors for help

The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _______.

A.童年时期 B.婴幼儿时期
C.生长发育期 D.习惯养成期

This passage is mainly about ______.

A.how the genes work in your body
B.how your parents’ height influence you
C.how you look like your parents
D.how you grow to a certain height

After reading this passage, we can explain ______.

A.how good it is to be a doctor
B.how much sleep time we need
C.why genes can’t decide everything
D.what healthy diet is

Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Girls’ age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys’.
B.Your height most probably depends on how tall your parents are.
C.The features showing the first changes of puberty between boys and girls are different.
D.You may be amazed sometimes when you grow too fast.

Some people succeed(成功), while others may not. This is because some people have certain qualities, which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic(乐观). If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as people who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动机) is a key to getting success. If you do not have an aim, then you won’t work hard and put your performance under the microscope(显微镜) to make sure that every detail is right.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have got success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have got amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is equally important if you want to be successful because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility(责任). Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!

Like stress, burnout (筋疲力尽) has also become a favourite subject of everyday conversation(对话). Many of us may feel “burn out” at times in our lives. It can be prevented, however, if you take action before you are in danger.
First, you must decide what is really important in your life. Make time for the people and the activities that are the most meaningful to you.
Second, you need to share your stories and feelings with others. Talk about your disappointments(失望), sadness, and painful(痛苦的) experiences, as well as your joys and successes. If you do not do this normally, you could “explode”. That will be worse for you. Good, healthy relationships with others will make you stronger and bring a greater balance to your life.
Third, make sure you have time off. Take short breaks as well as long holidays whether you feel you need them or not. Learn how to say “no” so that you can say “yes” to the things that are really important to you. Find activities to cheer you up, such as listening to music, dancing, playing sports, or watching movies. You should also make some time to be alone.
Finally, find a good doctor, like a psychologist, if you need help and all else has failed. There is no shame(羞耻) in this. Don’t worry a lot. It may bring your spirit back and make you feel more powerful.
