For breakfast? But the truth is that you ca

29、n have last nights leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they dont have time. Others think theyre “saving” calories; still others just dont like breakfast food.But the bottom line is that eating

30、in the morning is very important when youre trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R. D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this years “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if its

31、loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakf

32、ast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last nights leftoversit may soun

33、d crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night.

36、who want to lose weight C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleepBThere are some topics that readers never grow bored with, and the search for a suitable partner is one of them. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, first published in 1813, tells the story of five young women, all of whom are lookin

37、g for a husband. In order to fully understand the novel, the readers must know that at the time when Jane Austen was writing, if a family was not rich, the daughters needed to marry well in order to live a comfortable, independent life. That is the reason why Mrs Bennet, the mother of the five girls

38、, is so eager to have her daughters married.The heroine of the story is Elizabeth Bennet, and as in all good romantic novels, she and Darcy, the man she finally marries, remain separate until the very end of the story. The wealthy Darcy is a proud, unsociable man, and when Elizabeth hears that he ha

39、s insulted both her and her family, she dislikes him very much. Poor Darcy then falls head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and has to work terribly hard to persuade her to change her mind about him. He succeeds of course, and they live happily ever after. Set at the turn of the 19th century, the

40、novel is still attractive to modern readers. It has become one of the most popular novels and receives great attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic and a lot of novels and stories modeling after Austens memorable characters or themes. To da

41、te, the book has sold some 20 million copies worldwide.Jane Austen is rightly famous for her style. Her sentences have a wonderful rhythm, and she makes such clever, true comments about people. It is not surprising that Pride and Prejudice has lasted. 60. In the 19th century, a poor girl in Britain

42、was often encouraged to _ .A. master the skills of writing B. marry the one she loved C. obey her parents D. change her life by marrying rich61. What do we know about Elizabeth and Darcy?A. Theyve experienced ups and downs but get married in the end.B. They both come from poor families and wish to m

43、arry rich.C. They get separated from each other shortly after being married.D. Darcy falls over and gets hurt but Elizabeth still loves him.62. According to the passage, Pride and Prejudice _.A. was first published in 1813 and sold 20 million copies soonB. tells a sad love story which moves generati

44、ons of readersC. inspired many other novels and many plays have been produced based on it. D. is set at the turn of the 19th century and not well received worldwideCOver the last 70 years, researchers have been studying happy and unhappy people and finally found out ten factors that make a differenc

45、e. Our feelings of well-being at any moment are determined to a certain degree by genes. However, of all the factors, wealth and age are the top two.Money can buy a degree of happiness. But once you can afford to feed, clothe and house yourself , each extra dollar makes less and less difference.Rese

46、archers find that, on average, wealthier people are happier. But the link between money and happiness is complex. In the past half-century, average income has sharply increased in developed countries, yet happiness levels have remained almost the same. Once your basic needs are met, money only seems

47、 to increase happiness if you have more than your friends, neighbors and colleagues.“Dollars buy status, and status makes people feel better,” conclude some experts, which helps explain why people who can seek status in other ways-scientists or actors, for examplemay happily accept relatively poorly

48、-paid jobs.In a research, Professor Alex Michalos found that the people whose desiresnot just for money, but for friends, family, job, healthrose furthest beyond what they already had, tended to be less happy than those who felt a smaller gap. Indeed, the size of the gap predicted happiness about fi

49、ve times better than income alone. “The gap measures just blow away the only measures of income.” Says Michalos.Another factor that has to do with happiness is age. Old age may not be so bad. “Given all the problems of aging, how could the elderly be more satisfied?” asks Professor Laura Carstensen.

50、 In one survey, Carstensen interviewed 184 people between the ages of 18 and 94, and asked them to fill out an emotions questionnaire. She found that old people reported positive emotions just as often as young people, but negative emotions much less often.Why are old people happier? Some scientists

51、 suggest older people may expect life to be harder and learn to live with it, or theyre more realistic about their goals, only setting ones that they know they can achieve. But Carstensen thinks that with time running out, older people have learned to focus on things that make them happy and let go

52、of those that dont. “People realize not only what they have, but also that what they have cannot last forever,” she says. “A goodbye kiss to a husband or wife at the age of 85, for example, may bring far more complex emotional responses than a similar kiss to a boy or girl friend at the age of 20.63

53、. According to the passage, the feeling of happiness _. A. is determined partly by genesB. increases gradually with age C. has little to do with wealthD. is measured by desires64. Some actors would like to accept poorly-paid jobs because the jobs_. A. make them feel much betterB. provide chances to

54、make friends C. improve their social positionD. satisfy their professional interests65. Aged people are more likely to feel happy because they are more_. A. optimistic B. successful C. practical D. emotional66. Professor Alex Michalos found that people feel less happy if _. A. the gap between realit

55、y and desire is bigger B. they have a stronger desire for friendship C. their income is below their expectation D. the hope for good health is greaterDAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better
