C
If you have to miss a meal a day, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it? If you have to make a decision of this type, most people (especially very busy people) will choose to skip breakfast.
However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast ( the meal which “break” you “fast” ) to be the most important  meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients (營養(yǎng)) we need to begin our working day with vigor(活力) and stay hopeful with good honor. However, many people skip breakfast or substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?
One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants(參加者) included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. The results showed that if a person eats an adequate(豐富的) breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently(效率高地) and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental(腦力的) activities. The study showed that if school-children eat fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast is inadequate(不豐富).
The study also showed that contrary to what people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you want to lose weight, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will likely lose more weight if you decrease your other meals.
【小題1】 According to experts, breakfast is the most important meal of the day because _____.

A.a(chǎn) good breakfast breaks you down fast
B.you’ll lose weight quickly if you skip breakfast
C.breakfast provides what a person needs to work

【小題2】The underlined part “substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal”(Para. 2) probably means _______.
A.to exchange a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal.
B.To drink a cup of coffee instead of a well balanced meal.
C.To change a cup of coffee into a well balanced meal.
D.To regard a cup of coffee as a well balanced meal.
【小題3】The example of school-children in para.3 shows that _______.
A.school-children will be quick and attentive all day if they eat breakfast
B.a(chǎn) proper breakfast will make mental workers more efficient
C.fruit, eggs, bread and milk are the best breakfast for mental workers
D.school-children who have breakfast are much brighter than those who don’t
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT true according to Para. 4?
A.Some people skip breakfast because they want to be slimmer.
B.Most people who skip breakfast actually eat more for lunch.
C.People put on weight because they eat too much breakfast.

The early lack of exposure to science ,technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) can be harmful to achieving gender (性別)balance in these fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.
While at home,girls generally don’t get to experience the level of exposure or encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle ,but it’s the first hurdle that faces and confuses so many women. Boys ,on the other hand, get on their path ,and are encouraged to do so, generally earlier than girls. For example ,boys are more often given science sets as toys ,which spark an interest in these subjects.
In school 3 boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science classes. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a people ? a country,and a planet,we can no longer look to only half of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain subject and career paths,they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.
Our bias(偏見)toward girls9 either from families or from schools ,is so rooted in our culture that we often don’t even recognize it. Although the situation Has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years,there is still a sense that girls aren't as good at math 9 for instance 9 even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief.
It is important that as a society we deal with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them, we are limiting the potentials of our youth,both male and female. Providing the necessary resources, exposure , and encouragement would help young women understand that their gender shouldnt determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.
【小題1】According to the passage ? not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because______.

A.girls are not as good at STEM as boys
B.girls do not like to take science classes
C.girls get fewer chances to know about STEM
D.girls seldom survive the high pressure positions
【小題2】The underlined word “it” in Para. 4 refers to______
A.our biasB.our cultureC.the situationD.a(chǎn) sense
【小題3】The main purpose of the passage is to______.
A.show women’s potentials in STEM fields
B.praise women’s contributions to STEM fields
C.describe the present gender bias in STEM fields
D.call for more involvement of women in STEM fields
【小題4】Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image(印象)of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
  An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team.” They’re expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation(商議) and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
  So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends.” My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall.”I always tell them when L’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome,who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
  Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,” Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
【小題1】What is the popular images of teenagers today?

A.They worry about school
B.They dislike living with their parents
C.They have to be locked in to avoid troubles
D.They quarrel a lot with other family members
【小題2】The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ___

C.go boating with their family
D.make family decisions
【小題3】Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents___.
A.go to clubs more often with their children
B.a(chǎn)re much stricter with their children
C.care less about their children’s life
D.give their children more freedom
【小題4】According to the authour,teenage rebellion____.
A.may be a false beliefB.is common nowadays
C.existed only in the 1960sD.resulted from changes in families
【小題5】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Negotiation in family B.Education in family

First, I’d like to thank you for your reminding, although I don’t agree with your view which students should spend more time on their lessons instead of read novels.Indeed, reading novels takes up some of the time that should spent on lessons, but it’ll make us know what hard life is.Besides, by reading novels we can gain what we can’t learn from our textbook.Of course, reading novels has it’s shortcomings.Novels that have wrong ideas will make us to do something wrong.Maybe, in your eyes, the disadvantages of reading novels outweighs the advantages.And in my opinion, reading novels is just as another pair of eyes, which broadens my horizon.

Our love of music and appreciation of musical harmony is learnt and not based on natural ability, a new study by University of Melbourne researchers has found. The researchers said previous theories about how we appreciate music were based on the physical functions of sound, the ear itself and a born ability to hear harmony.

The study shows that musical harmony can be learnt, and it is a matter of training the brain to hear the sounds. So if you thought that the music of some foreign culture (or Jazz) sounded like the crying of cats, it’s simply because you haven’t learnt to listen by their rules.

The researchers used 66 volunteers with a range of musical training and tested their ability to hear combinations of notes(音符) to determine if they found the combinations familiar or pleasing. They found that people needed to be familiar with combinations of notes. If they found the notes unfamiliar they also found the sound unpleasant. This finding put an end to centuries of theories claiming that physical functions of the ear determine what we find attractive.

The study found that trained musicians were much more sensitive to unpleasant notes than non-musicians. When they couldn’t find the note, the musicians reported that the sounds were unpleasant, while non-musicians were much less sensitive. This shows the importance of training or nurturing(培養(yǎng)) the brain to like particular sound of combinations of notes, like those found in jazz or rock.

Depending on their training, a strange chord(和弦) sound was pleasant to some musicians, but very unpleasant to others. This showed us that even the ability to hear a musical note is learnt.

To confirm this finding, they trained 19 non-musicians to find the notes of a random selection of western chords. Not only did the participants’ ability to hear notes improve rapidly, afterward they reported that the chords they had learnt sounded more pleasant -- regardless of how the chords were played.

The question of why some combinations of musical notes are heard as pleasant or unpleasant has long been debated. “We have shown in this study that for music, beauty is in the brain of the beholder(觀看者)”, a researcher said.

1.According to the study, people find foreign music quite unpleasant because_____.

A. they hear the music much too often

B. they don’t like the person playing it

C. they have no idea about how to listen

D. they have no born musical ability at all??

2.Although non-musicians were less sensitive to music, they can still_____.

A. be trained to like particular music

B. make friends with real musicians

C. find the beauty of chords without training

D. enjoy the beauty of music when played by musicians

3.The 19 non-musicians were trained in order to show_____.

A. the brain likes particular combinations of notes

B. not a strange note was pleasant to all musicians

C. how the chords were played was very important

D. people’s ability to hear a musical note can be learnt

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Love of musical harmony can’t be taught.

B. Love of music is not natural but nurtured.

C. Listening to music can improve your brain.

D. You can be a musician without being trained.
