Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating
breakfast 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.
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 Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition
at Queen Elizabeth 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. Erresto at the University
of Texas, “is poor”.
The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.
A. the year the author wrote the article
B. 1977
C. any year between 1997 and 1983
D. 1983

Are you one of those people who doesn’t trust anyone else to do what needs to be done？ Some managers they can’t bear anyone else to help them in any way. They
34. don't believe that anyone can do such a job as well as they can. It is not surprising
35. that they then get overwhelmed by work and complain that they have far too much
36. to do, but it could be argued that it is by their own fault. If they learnt to delegate,
37. they would have much more time available. Besides the saving time and freeing
38. them to concentrate on tasks that are important, delegating also benefits to the
39. company. If managers delegate effectively, their staff will become more skilled and
40. committed. Asking staff to make the decisions improves their efficiency and morale.
41. This will contribute itself not only to the success of the team, but to the success of
42. the company as a whole. More importantly, it will also show how good a person's
43. managerial skills are, which is useful when those candidates are considered for
44. the promotion. Trusting other people to do a job properly and providing them with the
45. opportunity to do so well is therefore an essential management skill in the workplace of today.

In talking about advertising, one should not think only in terms of a commercial on television, or an advertisement in the newspapers or periodicals. In its widest sense, advertising includes a host of other activities such as packaging, shop displays and—in the sense of communication—even the spoken word of the salesman. After ail, the resources of advertising are to be found in the market place.
For many years it was considered that it was enough to produce goods and supply services. It is only more recently that it has become increasingly understood that the manufacture of goods is a waste of resources unless those goods can be sold at a fair price within a reasonable time span. In the competitive society in which we live, it is important that we go out and sell what we have, and advertising plays an important role in this aspect, whether selling at home or in export markets.
About two percent of the UK gross national product is relied on advertising. But it must not be thought that this advertising tries to sell goods to consumers who do not want them. Certainly, advertising does try to attract the interest of the potential consumer, but if the article when purchased dries not match up to the standards that the advertising suggests that it will, it is obviously exceedingly unlikely that the article will sell well.
According to the text advertising is important to ______.
A．every potential consumer in the world
B．large countries in the world
C．people with a high standard of living
D．a large number of people in the world
？Look at the article below about getting along with the boss and following questions.
？For each question (13 - 18), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Getting Along with the Boss
You know that a positive relationship with your work superiors is essential to your success. But how do you ensure you stay on their right side？ Your boss holds 2 our future prospects in his or her hands. Expect very few favors from a boss who does not like you, Bad relationship with the boss also means missed advancement opportunities: it is one of the major reasons for high staff turnover. If you resign because of the boss. you may also expect a dent in your professional reputation, Imagine having to provide such an "ex" boss as the contact referral person at your next interview !
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the ladder. Your boss isn't only your supervisor. He or she is also the person best equipped (or should be I to help you do the job you are paid to do. He/she is privy to the company's goals and knows what the company is looking for in future executives. He/she can inform. you of company direction that may affect your future aspirations, He/she can put in a good word for you in the right eats. He/she is also your ally when you need back up, support or cooperation from other departments.
But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss？ The key is communication. Know your boss' priorities and try to anticipate his/her needs before he/she asks. Don't think narrowly in terms of your own immediate position. Try to understand where what you do ties in with the bigger picture.
What other things can you discover about your boss？ Is he/she conservative or informal？ Does he/she prefer to be greeted as Mr. Ms. Miss or Mrs. or prefer first names？ Is his/hers an "open door" policy or does he/she prefers you setting appointments with them？ Respect your boss' time. Never barge into their office expecting or demanding an hearing immediately. Does he/she prefer to be kept informed with progress reports, or prefer you show initiative and get on with the job？
Don't be a "yes man" and don't offer false flattery in the hope of' getting somewhere. It won't work! And don't aim for "closeness" in the working relationship because this can also backfire. If your boss depends upon you too much. he/she won't recommend you for promotions because you are needed too much where you are. Another possibility is that if he/ she is not a good manager, he/she may be given their marching orders. If you are seen to be a part of his/her management mishaps, you may be marching out the door with him/her! Do what you can to stay in his/her good books. Don't take "sickies" unless you are sick! Be an effective, cooperative, responsible and courteous employee and team player.
It is possible that you are already these things, and you are working for somebody whose management style. disagrees with your needs or expectations. Maybe friction cannot be avoided. Then, you may be better off looking for a new job in a new department or company. In short, getting along with your boss entails getting to know his/her likes and dislikes and learning to work with his/her personality and management style. And the upside about mastering communication and people skills with your own boss is that one day, those skills will pay off in your own management role with your own team.
The writer says that a bad relationship with your boss may result in all of the following except
A．less favors from your boss.
B．the loss of your job.
C．a dent in your reputation.
D．the loss of your opportunities for promotion.
Essays, however, hang somewhere on a line between two sturdy poles: this is what I think, and this is what I am. Autobiographies which aren't novels are generally extended essays, indeed. A personal essay is like the human voice talking, its order being the mind's natural flow, instead of a systematized outline of ideas. Though more changeable or informal than an article or treatise, somewhere it contains a point which is its real center, even if the point couldn't be uttered in fewer words than the essayist has used. Essays don't usually boil down to a summary, as articles do, and the style. of the writer has a "nap" to it, a combination of personality and originality and energetic loose ends that stand up like the nap (绒毛) on a piece of wool and can't be brushed flat. Essays belong to the animal kingdom, with a surface that generates sparks, like a coat of fur, compared with the flat, conventional cotton of the magazine article writer, who works in the vegetable kingdom, instead. But, essays, on the other hand, may have fewer "levels" than fiction, because we are not supposed to argue much about their meaning. In the old distinction between teaching and storytelling, the essayist, however cleverly he tries to conceal his intentions, is a bit of a teacher or reformer, and an essay is intended to convey the same point to each of us.
An essayist doesn't have to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, he can shape or shave his memories, as long as the purpose is served of explaining a truthful point. A personal essay frequently is not autobiographical at all, but what it does keep in common with autobiography is that, through its tone and tumbling progression, it conveys the quality of the author's mind. Nothing gets in the way. Because essays are directly concerned with the mind and the mind's peculiarity, the very freedom the mind possesses is conferred on this branch of literature that does honor to it, and the fascination of the mind is the fascination of the essay.
According to the passage the changes in readers' taste ______.
A．contribute to the incompatibility of essays with stories
B．often result in unfavorable effect, to say the least
C．sometimes come to something undesirable, of course
D．usually bring about beneficial outcome, so to say
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish; "I know this jacket is not the style. you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is :" This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes？ In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only" having a look round". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
According to the passage, when a man is buying clothes, ______.
A．he buys cheap things, regardless of quality
B．he chooses things that others recommend
C．he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things
D．he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear
Leeds University researchers, writing in the Psychopathology journal, said a small proportion of Internet users were classed as Internet addicts and that people in this group were more likely to be depressed than non-addicted users.
The article on the relationship between excessive Internet use and depression, a questionnaire-based study of 1,319 young people and adults, used data gathered from respondents to links placed on UK-based social networking sites.
The respondents answered questions about how much time they spent on the Internet and what they used it for; they also completed the Beck Depression Inventory--a series of questions designed to measure the severity of depression.
The six-page report, by the university's Institute of Psychological Sciences, said 18 of the people who completed the questionnaire were Internet addicts.
"Our research indicates that excessive Internet use is associated with depression, but what we don't know is which comes flint--are depressed people drawn to the Internet or does the Internet cause depression？" the article's lead author, Dr.Catriona Morrison, said. "What is clear is that, for a small part of people, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning signal for depressive tendencies."
The age range of all respondents was between 16 and 51 years, with a mean age of 21.24. The mean age of the 18 Internet addicts, 13 of whom were male and five female, was 18.3 years. By comparing the scale of depression within this group to that within a group of 18 non-addicted Internet users, researchers found the Internet addicts had a higher incidence of moderate to severe depression than non-addicts. They also discovered that addicts spent proportionately more time browsing sexually pleasing websites, online gaming sites and online communities.
"This study reinforces the public speculation (推测) that over-engaging in websites that serve to replace normal social function might be linked to psychological disorders like depression and addiction," Morrison said. "We now need to consider the wider societal implications of this relationship and establish clearly the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health."
Internet addicts are people who______.
A．use the Internet more than enough
B．feel depressed when using the Internet
C．seldom connect to the Internet
D．feel depressed without the Internet
