One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理學(xué)家) in England，a boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm

very worried about him. Can you help?”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon -- in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?

"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

"It’s your turn," he said.

After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one -- without any words -- can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.Ziyuanku.com

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected . Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting（節(jié)食）.

Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.

A good breakfast should provide up to1/3 of your total calories needs for the day. On average（平均）, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating a lighter for the breakfast in the morning.

If you aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有營養(yǎng)的) mid-morning snack alter when you are hungry.

So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people fear eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you eat more. That’s because your body is working all day long , in fact, you are probably not.

Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very quickly. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals through the day, you are less likely to become hungry and fill yourself as soon as you begin to eat. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles, and cereals.(谷物)。

1.Which of the following statement is Not the reason for not having breakfast?

A. Their time is limited. B. They want to lose weight.

C. Their stomachs are full. D. They want to start work early.[

2.What’s the meaning of the word “fast” in the phrase “break the fast”?

A. movement B. certain kind of food

C. quickness D. going without food

3.If you don’t want to have breakfast in the morning, the writer suggests you .

A. have some snacks when hungry

B. see a doctor to have an examination

C. have a good dinner

D. go to a restaurant to enjoy a good meal

4.From the passage, we can know the writer believes .

A. it’s OK not to have breakfast

C. you can decide whether to have breakfast

D. it’s necessary to have a right breakfast

科目：高中英語 來源：河北省2017屆高三第十次調(diào)研A卷（課標(biāo)版卷）英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

I have received many Christmas gifts over the years. The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.

I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”

It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.

As the number of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(帶有柳釘?shù)钠? around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(紋身) were an obvious love of his.

I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏見) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.

1.What may be the best title of the passage?

A. The Best Christmas Gift.

B. A Child’s Bike.

C. Black Friday Sales.

D. A Handsome Stranger.

2.Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?

A. Because they can make money.

B. Because they hope to find a bargain.

C. Because it’s a way to celebrate Christmas.

D. Because it’s a place to get things free of charge.

3.What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3?

A. devote

B. solve

C. buy

D. save

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. All roads lead to Rome.

B. It’s never too old to study.

C. You cannot clap with one hand.

D. Men cannot be judged by their appearances

If you feel depressed, it’s best to do something about it — depression doesn’t just go away on its own. In addition to getting help from a doctor or counselor, here are four things you can do to feel better.

Exercise. Take a 15—30 minutes walk every day — or dance, jog, or bike if you prefer. People who are depressed may not feel much like being active. 1. Once you get in the exercise habit, it won’t take long to notice a difference in your mood.

Cherish yourself with good nutrition. Depression can affect appetite. One person may not feel like eating at all, but another might overeat. If depression has affected your eating, you’ll need to be extra mindful of getting the right food. 2. So eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and get regular meals (even if you don’t feel hungry, try to eat something light, like a piece of fruit, to keep you going).

Identify troubles. 3. When you know what’s got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend. Talking is a way to release the feelings and to receive some understanding. If there’s no one to tell, pouring your heart out to a journal work just as well.

4. Depression affects a person’s thoughts, making everything seem dark, negative and hopeless. If depression has you noticing only the negative, make an effort to notice the good things in life. Try to notice one thing, and then try to think of one more. Consider your strengths, gifts, or blessings. Most of all, don’t forget to be patient with yourself. 5.

A．Look on the bright side.

B．Take action to solve problems.

C．But make yourself do it anyway.

D．Depression takes time to heal.

E．Proper nutrition can influence a person’s mood and energy.

F．With depression, a person’s creativity and sense of fun may seem blocked.

G．Try to make out any situations that have contributed to your depression.
