Breakfast has long been regarded as the most important meal of the day, vital for getting the body going and preventing overeating later on. C to popular belief, the study found the first meal of the day had little impact
snacking or portion sizes later in the day.
The researcher added:“The (信念) that breakfast is the ‘most important meal of the day’ is so widespread
many people are surprised to learn that there is a lack of scientific evidence
(表明）whether or how breakfast may directly cause changes in our health. is certainly true that people who regularly eat breakfast tend to be slimmer and healthier but these
(个人）also typically follow most other recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, so have more
b diets and take more physical exercise.”
In another studyp this month, researchers at Birmingham
d volunteers into three groups. One skipped breakfast, others always ate it and a third continued with current diet. Four months later, no one in any group lost much weight.
Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with practice. you want to meet people and make friends, you must take action. It is much
(easy) to communicate with people sharing your hobbies and interests. So join a club or a group,
you are likely to make new friends.
Many people are fearful when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means (face) the unknown. Actually, most of our fears about dealing with new people come
doubts about ourselves. We imagine that other people
(judge) us, finding us too tall of too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept what you are,
you’ll feel more comfortable.
Try to act with (confident) even if you don’t feel that way. When you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look
(direct) at other people and smile. If you see someone you’d like to speak to, don’t wait for him/her to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new doesn’t mean that you’ll make friends with that person. takes time and effort to develop a friendship.
The air we breathe is freely available, withoutwe could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while

breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make
magnificent life.
Opportunity is in the same way; it is everywhere. It is so freely available that we take it granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success; it must
(seize) and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so
(anxiety) to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s
(possible).
Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. , it takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity. You must make use of it. That’s not up to the opportunity; that’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on, but
matters is what you do with it.

Edgar’s wedding ring. “Digging and praying. Digging and praying,” she told local station Fox 59.
“It was everything to me, because that’s one thing that I had,” she said.

(complete) in pieces. “This was the house that love built,” she told WTHR.
Without her husband her house, she was determined to find the ring. But finding the exact position of it among the piles of rubble seemed to be
(hope).
Somehow, her brother (spot) something under a piece of the roof and called her over. The ring,
(bury) in the rubble, had turned up.
“It was a miracle,” Rawlins said. “We both just hugged each other, crying. That wasI had searched for,”

Dear fellow students，
May I have your attention，please? Now I'd like to make a speech here．As we know，waste(become)a common scene on campus recently．Some pour the remains of a meal where there is still much
(1eave)；others
(simple)walk away after washing hands，leaving the water
(run)；students leave the classroom every day
noticing whether fans are switched off．Has thrift(节俭)，one of the national tradition
developed from our long history gone?
so，find it back!
We don't have to take great pains to control waste，but action and a grateful heart are needed；thank the water that runs through our fingers，and save it for poor Arabian or African countries struggling in water(short)；thank the light we enjoy because in poor areas，children share
dim lamp reading；thank all the paper we are able to use，for trees are cut down
(satisfy)our needs；thank everything nature can offer and everything we can own.
Live and act，so the tradition of thrift will never fade．
I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting my car broke down near a remote village. Cursing my
(fortune), I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me
(argue) as to who should have the honour of receiving me
a guest in their house. Finally, I accepted the offer of
80-year-old peasant woman who lived alone in a little house. While she was getting me settled into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse
my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometers away
there was a garage.
I had noticed three hens (run) free in my hostess courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. Other villagers brought me goats cheese and honey. We drank together and talked
(merry) till far into the night.
When the time came for me to say good
bye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I (cause) her. But she refused.
