We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and dinner the most enjoyable. But what about lunch? In today’s fast-paced society, not many people take time to enjoy this midday meal. We just take a quick salad, or buy a sandwich and eat at our computers. Sometimes, if there is a deadline around the corner, we just give up lunch. The development of technology hasn’t done our eating habits much good, either. We are constantly distracted(分神) by e-mails, social media, 24-hour news, and hand-held electronic devices.
Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems. Employers(雇主)should encourage workers to take time off for lunch. This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both people and society. To take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some views. A break from work allows us to think cleverly and outside the box. It also puts our daily tasks into a wider context(环境).
What we eat at lunch is also important. A fast-food lunch is more harmful than not having lunch at all. And it’s not just about calories(卡路里)and unhealthy food. Recent studies show that fast food also has negative effects (负面影响)on how we think. However, if we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues, we are more likely to slow down and talk about something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and crowded fast food chain.
Do many people take time to enjoy the midday meal?
What can cause all kinds of health problems?
Why should employers encourage workers to take time off for lunch?
Which is more harmful, having a fast-food lunch or not having lunch at all?
What are the writer’s suggestions?

How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash (现金), or do you like to pay by credit card(信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.
Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s. At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers (顾客). Unlike today’s credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn’t pay for something a little at a time.
In 1950, a businessman named MCNamara started a credit card company-Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn’t have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit cards.
In its first year of business, Diners Club provided 200 cards. The customers who got the cards from the diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7.6 million businesses in more than 200 countries.

Healthy teeth are important in many ways. For example, when we get our pictures taken, everyone says “Say cheese!” So we open our mouth and show our teeth.
Strong and healthy teeth help us chew the right food to grow. They also help us speak clearly and look our best. 我们必须照顾好我们的牙齿。What should we do to protect our teeth?
First, we should brush them at least twice a day—after breakfast and before bedtime. We should brush all of our teeth, not just the front ones. We should spend at least 3 minutes each time brushing teeth.
一年看两次牙医也很重要。Besides checking for disease, the dentist will help keep our teeth extra clean.
We also need to be careful about what we eat and drink. Remember to eat more vegetables and fruit and drink more water. Of course, don’t forget to smile!
Many young people these days are interested in extreme sports, which mean very dangerous activities that need speed, height, or a high level of physical exertion(努力). Bungee jumping, snowskating, parkour and surfing are very popular extreme sports, but mountain climbing might be the first.
In 1985, two British young men, Joe Simpson and Simon Yates became the first west faces to climb the 6344-meter Siula Grande in the Andes(安第斯山脉). On the way down, Simpson fell and broke his leg, then he slipped(滑) down and lost connection with his friend. Yates had to get for help. Simpson fell more than 100 feet and landed on a bridge of ice. Finally he crawled(爬) for three days without food or water, until he reached the camp.
On April 26, 2003, when Aron Rolston was climbing alone in Utah, his arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock and he couldn’t move. After five days of waiting for help, the 28-year-old American ran out of water and finally he cut off half his right arm with a small knife to free himself. He also bandaged(包扎) himself in order not to lose too much blood. In 2004, he wrote a book named Between a Rock and a Hard Place. “In this book,” Aron said, “I want to tell the readers the importance of making good decisions, and of being in control of one’s life.”
How many kinds of extreme sports are mentioned in the first paragraph?
Did Simpson and Yates’s disasters happen on the way up the mountain?
How did Simpson get back to the camp?
What did Aron do to save himself when he ran out of water?
Why did Aron write the book Between a Rock and a Hard Place?

“Chinese style road crossing” became a hot topic in China from the end of last year. Now, many cities have started to punish these jaywalkers (乱闯马路的人).
“Chinese style road crossing” means crossing roads without thinking about traffic lights, as long as you are part of a crowd.
Beijing Traffic Management Bureau (北京交通管理局) announced that from April 6, people who do not wait for the green light to cross the road will receive a fine of 10 yuan. Officials from the bureau said that using the diagonal (对角线) to cross the road is also against the rules. Walkers should walk in an “L” shape.
Besides Beijing, many places have also taken steps to stop “Chinese style road crossing”. Provinces such as Sichuan, Shanxi and Zhejiang have already started to fine jaywalkers 5 to 50 yuan since last year.
Road traffic deaths top the list of deaths from non-natural causes in China, Xinhua reported. The action to punish behaviors that go against traffic rules calls on people to realize the importance of traffic safety.
However, many people complain that the red lights last too long. “But as long as the design of traffic lights is the same, everyone should follow the rulers. Otherwise the country will lose its order,” said People’s Daily.
Some cities have also paid attention to the problem. Beijing Traffic Management Bureau, for example, said it would not only focus on punishment, but also improve road safety facilities (设施), such as fixing traffic lights in a more proper way and building overpasses (天桥).
Was the topic “Chinese style road crossing” very popular last year?
What is the right way for walkers to cross the road?
How are jaywalkers in Sichuan punished?
Why is it necessary to punish those who go against traffic rules?
Besides punishment, what else do some cities do to solve the problem?
What’s your opinion on the action to punish jaywalkers?
