Will matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test
(give) in the United States. Those tests included people of different
from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got
breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see
well their bodies worked and when they ate
certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect
if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be
(especial) true if a person works
his brains. For example, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with
(much) attention in class.

________ this is how you deal with it.
I’m very glad I had the opportunity to meet Chris. He moved into the house next to two years ago. Usually he
(dress) in some kind of tight-fitting multicolored suit which makes him look like
super hero of comic books. He is very polite,
(friend) and genuinely caring, always remembering my birthday and
(bring) me chicken soup or Chinese tea if I’m ill. Chris will help us
he possibly can and is willing to listen to everyone’s problems.
At work he is much appreciated and he has many colleagues ask for his advice each time they have problems
(solve). His work includes
(communicate) with people. He has the power to make it. Although Chris could never be described as ordinary, I enjoy having him
a neighbor. Life is never boring when you have someone like him living next door.
Odysseus is a literary figure in the Odyssey (write) by Homer. He rejected the comfortable life of a Greek king and made a promise to help another Greek leader, Menelaus, get
wife back. But the war
(drag) on and on and he was away from his family for ten years.
During this time the fortunes of the war were so (change) that no one could predict
would win. Odysseus became tired of the war and the delay in Troy. He urgently wanted to return home, so
the Greek kings had their regular weekly meeting, he suggested that they take
opportunity to trick the Trojans. The Greeks built a giant wooden horse so that men could hide inside it. The Greeks then pretended to leave as if they
(discourage) by the length of the war. The Trojans blessed their God
their good fortune and prepared to celebrate.
That night the men climbed out of the horse and opened the city gates to the Greek army. The Trojans awoke to the sound of the warning bell (announce) a Greek victory. So the war ended but the punishment of the Trojan people was only just beginning.
When (ask) to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the
(good) friends you are, the more probable you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want---
end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences (bring) out in the open. Second, apologize when you’ re wrong - even if you have been wronged . Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best
the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things
your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that we change friendships as
needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the
(nature) ups and downs that have an effect
all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).
Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways (improve) our English writing ability.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist (坚持) in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many
(difficult). In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble
(find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there
(be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English
(proper).
As far as I am (concern), my suggestion is
we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher
help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for
development of our writing skills.
