　　I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s 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 don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories，still others just don’t like breakfast food .

　　But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re 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 year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s 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 breakfast 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 night’s leftovers – it may sound 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. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

　　41. The word “leftovers” in paragraph I probably means

　　______.

　　A. food remaining after a meal

　　B. things left undone

　　C. meals made of vegetables

　　D. pizza topped with fruit

　　42. What can we infer from the text?

　　A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

　　B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

　　C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

　　D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.

　　43. According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______.

　　A. eat something for breakfast

　　B. be careful about what you cat

　　C. heat up food before eating it

　　D. cat calorie-controlled food

　　44. The text is written mainly for those _______.

　　A. who go to work early

　　B. who want to lose weight

　　C. who stay up late

　　D. who eat before sleep

　　GUATEMALA CITY（Reuters）---- A fish that lives in mangrove swamps（紅樹沼澤）across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted（適應）to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

　　The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs（圓木）, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida .

　　The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again.

　　The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.

　　“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.

　　In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.

　　Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph.

　　Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.

　　“These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition（過渡）form water onto land, ” Wright said.

　　49. The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that ________.

　　A. likes eating nuts

　　B. prefers living in dry places

　　C. is the longest living fish on earth

　　D. can stay alive for two months out of water

　　50. Who will write up a report on mangrove Rivulus?

　　A. Patricia Wright.

　　B. Researchers in Guatemala.

　　C. Scientists from Belize.

　　D. Scott Taylor.

　　51. According to the text, lungfish can __________.

　　A. breathe through its skin

　　B. move freely on dry land

　　C. remain alive out of water

　　D. be as active on land as in water

　　52. What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus?

　　A. It was made quite by accident.

　　B. It was based on a lab test of sea life.

　　C. It was supported by an American magazine.

　　D. It was helped by Patricia Wright.

　　Qianmen Street, with a history of over 600 years old, is an 800-meter street possessing more than 300 shops. As the street is in the center of Beijing, just to the south of Tian’anmen Square, it’s very convenient to get there by bus. You may take Buses No. 17, 69 or 59.

　　Subway Line 2 has a stop there too. Qianmen Street is a pedestrian street, but there are trolley cars to take you not only to the shops, but also to the teahouses and theatres where you can experience a truly Chinese way of life.
