Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn’t take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and do 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 have no breakfast.
If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白質(zhì)) and some fiber (纖維). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and 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 low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______.
A．it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day
B．many adults are too busy to have breakfast every day
C．many adults go to work without having breakfast
D．many children go to school without breakfast
小題2:According to the passage, we feel tired at work probably because __.
A．we need to have a cup of coffee
B．we don’t have a good breakfast
C．our brains don’t work any longer
D．we don’t have enough sleep at night
小題3:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work.
B．Eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day.
C．Breakfast is really the most important meal in a day.
D．You will be happier if you have a good breakfast.
小題4:We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.
A．it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast
B．you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast
C．you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungry
D．you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfast

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有營(yíng)養(yǎng)的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.
小題1:Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.
A．keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B．monitoring patients’ body functions
C．removing people’s bad living habits
D．ensuring people’s psychological well-being
小題2:In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.
A．good health is more than not being ill
B．drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
C．regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D．prevention is more difficult than cure
小題3:Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________.
A．does not have any unhealthy living habits
B．does not have any physical handicaps
C．is able to handle his daily routines
D．is free from any kind of disease
小題4:According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________.
A．to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B．to strive to maintain the best possible health
C．to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D．to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
小題5:According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?
A．People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B．People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C．People who try to be as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D．People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.

An exercise method (Gyrotonics) designed to stretch muscles and improve strength and balance is becoming popular in the United States. Here's more about Gyrotonics and the man who invented this special form of exercise.
Gyrotonics is a kind of exercise that combines the movements of dancing and swimming with the mental and physical practice called yoga. It helps lengthen muscles, improve balance, and exercise the joints, the parts of the body where bones are joined.
A Hungarian dancer named Juliu Horvath developed this special form of exercise. After he was injured in dancing, Mr. Horvath studied yoga intensely. In the 1980s, he developed a new exercise method as a special kind of yoga to strengthen dancers.
According to Mr. Horvath, his method was based on the octopus(章魚(yú))，monkey and cat. He says these animals have no restrictions. They can move in any direction the Gyrotonic movements to help the human body move more freely.
A special machine made of wood and weights(砝碼) helps guide the body through the Gyrotonics exercises. You sit or lie on a flat board. You put your legs or hands through special cloth handles attached to a line with weights. With the tension created by the weights, you must try to move through the exercises.
Seven kinds of backbone movements form the base of Gyrotonics. For example, you can stretch your back to the left and right or forward and backward. While moving your back, you can also work on arm or leg motions. These movements must be done in a smooth way. Often the motions are circular(圓形的)。
When Juliu Horvath first developed Gyrotonics, he was the only teacher. Since then, he has taught almost 70 trainers. Now, there are more then 800 official schools in the world where you can learn Gyrotonics.
小題1:This passage mainly focuses on _____.
A．A successful life of HorvathB．A popular kind of exercise
C．Some advice on health careD．Some uses of a special machine
小題2:According to the passage, what made it possible for Horvath to develop Gyrotonics?
A．His dancing-related injury.B．His failure in practicing yoga.
C．His good skills of dancingD．His wish to be a Gyrotonics trainer.
小題3:What do you think inspired Horvath in developing Gyrotonics?
A．His experience in dancing.B．His use of a special machine.
C． The movements of some animals.D．The ideas from many trainers.
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many Americans have improved their health through Gyrotonics.
B．In a way, Gyrotonics is an exercise that comes from yoga.
C．You only have to move your backbone when doing the exercise.
D．Gyrotonics courses can be found in most countries worldwide.

Lots of people are unhappy with their present weight, but most aren't sure how to change it. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines and on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic (現(xiàn)實(shí)的) for you. Being healthy is really about being at a weight that is right for you. The best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian（營(yíng)養(yǎng)學(xué)家）.

Simply cutting out a can of soda or one sports drink can save you 150 calories or more each day.

It takes more than just practice to become an Olympian. Gold medal performances require some serious nutrition. Have you ever wondered what these successful athletes eat to stay in peak shape?
Keri Glassman, a registered dietitian and founder of Nutritious Life Meals, appeared on “Good Morning America” today to give you a glimpse into the diets of some top athletes. Some of their meals could surprise you.
Crazy Calorie Count
Glassman said Olympians eat a lot of food- quantities that for ordinary people would constitute pigging out. One secret of swimmer Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing was consuming as many as 12,00 calories in one day.
Athletes can eat like this and not gain any weight because their workouts are intense. According to Glassman, Phelps’ workouts can burn 4,000 to 6,000 calories in a day, and those calories must be added in order to train the following day.
Snacking Secrets
Some athletes eat strange foods that improve their performance. Yohan Blake, the Jamaica sprinter and 100-meter world champion, has stolen champion sprinter Usain Bolt’s thunder on the track during the Olympic trials. Asked about how he gets his energy, Blake answered that he eats 16 bananas per day ,Glassman said.
Jonathan Horton, the lead gymnast on the Us team, has a blood sugar problem. His solution is honey. When he starts to feel shaky at the gym, he takes honey to boost his energy, Classman said.
Foods for Recovery
What are the best foods to help the body recover after harsh competition?
For Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, the recovery meal is grilled chicken breasts with Alfredo sauce, whole-grain spaghetti and a salad with lemon juice and olive oil. Lochte, who recently cut out junk food, candy and soda, has undertaken a strength-training regimen(養(yǎng)生法)that involves flipping tractor tires, and tossing beer kegs, Glassman said.
小題1:What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Good Diet Makes a True Olympian.
B．Olympians Have Olympic-size Appetites.
C．The Diet of Some Top Olympic Athletes.
D．Olympians’ Strange Eating Habits.

A．Ordinary people eat few pigs compared with Olympians.
B．Olympians eat a lot more food than ordinary people.
C．Olympians tend to eat a lot of high-quality food.
D．Olympians eat a large amount of food, just like pigs.

A．Ryan Lochte quit eating junk food , candy and soda for his better recovery.
B．Yohan Blake finally beat Usain Bolt in the 100-meter track in the Olympics.
C．Michael Phelps’ astonishing performance was due to his eating lots of food.

How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病) . Believing my career (職業(yè)生涯)was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it----the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. “Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kirsten Best
Poet ＆ Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool.”
