【推荐1】Healthy eating doesn’t just mean what you eat, but how you eat. Here is some advice（建议）on healthy eating.

Eat with others. It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty, sometimes you are just thirsty, you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After you don’t eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

Eat healthy snacks（点心）like fruit, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips but not a meal.

Don’t eat dinner late. With our busy life, we always put off（推迟）eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least(至少) 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.

【推荐3】Why do so many people around the world love Chinese cooking? In China, cooking is an art, just like music, dancing and painting. However, there is more than just one kind of Chinese food. Different areas in China have special ways of cooking because of the differences in weather and geography.

Traditional Chinese doctors think that we need a balance of yin food and yang food if we want to stay healthy. Maybe you should eat yin food like tofu while you are too stressed out or angry. Chinese people believe that people who have a balance diet should be healthier than those who only eat food that tastes good.

There is much more about Chinese food than just the taste. Behind many dishes are traditions with deep meanings. One tradition about Chinese food is to eat noodles on your birthday because noodles are considered as a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. Another traditional food, tangyuan, suggests that family will always stay together.

From north to south, east to west, people are sure to find some kind of Chinese food to suit their tastes and interests.

【推荐3】Being able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
1. What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?

A．Want to buy.

3. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Young people must learn skills for future jobs.

B．Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.

B．Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.

C．Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.

D．People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.

【推荐2】Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.

Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.

Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.

Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.

Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.

Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination (终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.

1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?

A．Working hard.

B．Good education.

C．Strong desire.

D．Enjoying failure.

2. What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?

A．It’s not easy for people to develop their health.

B．You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.

C．Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.

D．Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.

3. Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?

A．If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.

B．If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.

C．Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.

D．Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.

4. The best title of the passage might be________.
