　　Recently, a study has con firmed what I've long known in my heart: two breakfasts are better than none. The research on the effect of breakfast on weight gain was done on school children But for adults, in theory, two breakfasts are also better than none.

　　Researchers from Yale and the University of Connecticut followed 600 middle-school students as they developed from fifth to seventh grade, nothing their weight and if they had zerobreakfast, breakfast either at home or at school, or breakfast in both places They found that weight gain among second-breakfast eaters was no different from the average gain seen amongall students. Children who didn t eat breakfast, or ate it only sometimes, were more likely to be overweight than double-breakfasters It should be noted that only about one in ten children inthe study ate two breakfasts.

　　The study wasn't designed to figure out why this might be true, but the researchers have some theories: that people who don t eat breakfast (or any meal) might overeat later in the day.and that as people become obese, they tend to reduce calories (热量) by having no breakfast

　　Yes. school breakfasts are more like a healthy snack (零食)than a full meal, and growingteens can eat a large amount of food But if you re still not eating breakfast because you think it glves you more colories, you are not only mistaken, but you are also missing out one of life's greatpleasures

　　Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?

　　AAbout 90% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day

　　BAbout 90% of the children in the study had one breakfast a day

　　CAbout 10% of the children in the study had two breakfasts a day

　　DAbout 10% of the children in the study had no breakfast at all

　　[单选题]Nancy wanted to make good use of her spare time. So she decided to work for the underdog. For the past several years, she has been putting her experience and energy to help a disadvantaged (条件差的) high school student.

　　Nancy knew that her knowledge would be best shared in a one-to-one situation. She found her perfect match in Operation Jump Start(OJS).

　　OJS was founded in 1994 in Long Beach, California, with the goal of helping students reach for higher education. It pairs students with experienced volunteers(志愿者), and provides them with workshops on writing, leadership development, and guided tours of vanous colleges.

　　Since its start, OJS has helped 80 students graduate from high school, with 95 percent moving on to higher education.

　　Nancy and the girl, Yanira, spent most of their time on school work. Together the two often went to museums, zoos, the movies, and concerts; they even sang in the school holiday show together!

　　“I know I’ m not like anyone else in Yanira' s life," Nancy says,“lt’ s been great to get to know her and to watch her change, grow, and learn.”

　　Much to Nancys excitement, Yanira plans to attend John Jay College in New York City, where Nancys father taught for his whole life. "These days I share her dream, and if she gets accepted I hope to travel to New York with her and show her around." Nancy says.

　　What is Operation Jump Start (OJS) in the text?

　　AIt's a company providing jobs for people like Nancy.

　　BIt's a program training volunteers.

　　CIt's a school teaching leadership skills,

　　DIt's an organization helping high school students.

　　参考答案：D

　　You know what a hotel is, of course. And perhaps, you also know what a condo is--a residential(居住的) building divided into separate units that are owned by different people. What you may not know is that in some U. S. cities, the two have come together into something called a "condo hotel".

　　Some condo hotels can now be found in beach and mountain towns and a few small cities.However, none is more famous than the great 105-year-old Plaza Hotel in New York, on Fifth Avenue across from Central Park. The Plaza closed for repair in 2005. When it reopened two years later, more than half of it had been changed into one of these modern condo hotels.

　　Here" s how it works : You buy what equals to an apartment (公寓). If it" s at The Plaza, it will cost you between $1.5 million and $9 million. So you own a part of the building. But there" s some inconvenience. You may stay there no more than 120 days a year. The rest of the time, the hotel" s workers can book guests into your place,just as they would in the regular hotel" s rooms. So if you" re lucky and rich,you can now live in really special quarters up to almost one third of the year,while others pay off your mortgage (房贷) the rest of the year.

　　So far,a great many of the nation"s condo hotel units have been purchased not by rich people but by richer companies, including foreign ones. They want a nice place for their bosses to stay when they"re in town or working late at the office.

　　What does purchased in the last paragraph probably mean?

　　AClosed.

　　BBought.

　　CDamaged.

　　DRepaired.
