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(故意略去)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,
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(蛋白质)and some fiber(纤维).Protein
can come from meat,eggs,beans,or soy(大豆).Fiber can be found in whole cereals(谷
物),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.

Men are more likely to skip breakfast than women.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

The Privileged Children

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste.If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness,then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.
Dr. Robert Coles,an internationally famous doctor,is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-received book on the subject,The Privileged Ones,and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little."Ohviously there are certain advantages to being rich,"says the 53-year-old doctor,"such as better health,education and future work expectations.But most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love."
It can buy a lot of other things,though,and that's where the trouble starts.Rich kjds have so much to choose from that they often become confused.Their parents' over favoring can make them spoiled.They tend to travel more than other children,from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.
"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,"adds Mr Coles, "and they are more self-assured."
Today's rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children.So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

Dr. Robert Coles believes that________.
A:being rich has as many advantages as being poor
B:rich children often get too little entertainment
C:rich children sometimes can't enjoy the thing they are most in need of
D:rich children aren't given enough things

答案:C
解析:
从文章的叙述我们知道财富可以是恩赐也可以是负担,从第一段最后两句我们知道有钱人并非都幸福。因此选项D是正确的。选项A错误是因为有钱的孩子确实会常常旅游,但文章并没有说是否喜欢旅行。选项B错误:文章第二段最后一句说了钱买不了爱。选项C错误:第一段最后一句只是说有钱人最常自杀,却没说有钱的孩子会自杀。
文章第二段最后一句提到财富会给人带来很多益处,但是最重要的家庭生活的质量却往往不是他们能享受的。因此选项C是正确的。选项A、选项B和选项D都不正确。
选项B、C、D在文章中都提到过,只有选项A不正确。文章没有提过有钱人家和穷人家一样缺少爱。
silver spoon是一个固定说法,并不真是指银子做的勺子,而是指财富,如 be born with silver spoon指的是“生在富有人家”。因此只有选项C是正确的。
文章最后一句讲到“富有的家长们也意识到要让他们家庭里的爱同金钱一样多”,而且第二段最后也提到家庭生活的质量是最重要的,因此选项D是正确的。其他三个选项的叙述都是错误的。

第3题:

194. Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfasts at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Amold Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Emesto Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.” [共5题]

第10题:

Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
According to Damaske,who are likely to be the happiest at home?

A.Working mothers.
B.Childless husbands.
C.Childless wives.
D.Working fathers.

答案:B
解析:
细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干,精准定位,并能正确掌握定位信息,辨别干扰选项的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“Damaske”定位到第二段第三、四句,即Damaske的观点。这两句提到“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work…,but more so for nonparents.”,即“研究发现是男人,而不是女人,在家比在工作中更高兴。更令人吃惊的是,这种情况对有无孩子都一样,尤其是对于没有孩子的人。”综合对比,确定B为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A、C项两项均为反向干扰,原文说的是男人比女人在家更快乐,故排除。根据该句“but more so for nonparents”可知D项错误,原文是没有孩子的男性,并非工作中的父亲。
