Time and time again we’re told breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It     1     (say) that you should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper — and a new research proves just that now.

Regardless of whether you’re looking to lose weight     2    not, scientists have conducted a study that underpins the value of eating enough at breakfast time. While a large majority of busy workers will pick up a banana    3    (eat) fast on their commute (通勤), or skip breakfast entirely, the study has found that those who eat a big breakfast compared to a large dinner may burn     4    (two) as many calories throughout the day.

The article,     5    (publish) in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, looked into diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT),     6    is the process our body goes through when digesting food and the energy it expends. It’s    7    measure of how well our metabolism (新陈代谢) is working, which is     8    (general) slower in the evening due to our body clocks.

The study’s author, Juliane Richter of University of Lübeck in Germany, said: “Our results show that a meal eaten for breakfast, regardless of the amount of calories it contains, creates higher    9    (consume) of calories by diet-induced thermogenesis.”

This finding is     10    significance for all people as it underlines the value of eating enough at breakfast.

6 . China has released the first national draft guideline on the use of self-driving vehicles for public transport, a key move in speeding up the large-scale commercialization of autonomous driving technology and encouraging local authorities to create the relevant management policies, industry experts said.

The country will encourage the use of self-driving vehicles such as buses in an enclosed Bus Rapid Transit or BRT system, and allow autonomous vehicles to offer taxi services under simple and relatively controllable scenarios(方案)The national draft rules on self-driving vehicles are expected to better regulate the whole industry,   providing a reference and guidance for local authorities that have yet to issue similar guidelines.

The draft regulation classified autonomous vehicles into three types:conditionally,highly and fully autonomous vehicles, depending on the degree of their autonomous capacity.The guideline said the first two types should have human drivers. Remote drivers or safety supervisors are essential for fully autonomous vehicles. In addition, safety should be the top priority in the management of self-driving vehicles. The guideline also requires that the routes of autonomous vehicles should be far away from heavily populated areas such as schools hospitals and large shopping malls.

Since China has taken the lead in the research development and application of autonomous driving technologies, the latest move will encourage self-driving companies to carry out road tests and commercial operations of robotaxi services in more cities, promoting the large-scale commercial use of autonomous vehicles across the nation.

Some local governments have already rolled out a series of supportive policies to promote the commercialization of autonomous driving technology. For instance in July, Beijing launched China’s first pilot area for commercial autonomous driving vehicle services. However, a supervisor will still sit in the front passenger seat to ensure safety

"Currently, only a few countries have rolled out policies at the national level that support the development of autonomous vehicles,”said Lyu Jinghong an intelligent-mobility analyst, Lyu added that clear regulations at the national level will encourage local governments and autonomous driving companies to speed up the application of self-driving technology.

1. What is the significance of the national draft guideline of self-driving vehicles?

A．It sets a good example for many other countries.

B．It serves as a good reference for local guidelines

C．It ensures the safety awareness of remote drivers.

D．It encourages the use of household self-driving vehicles.

2. What is the classification of self-driving vehicles based on?

A．The limit of their speed.	B．The level of automation.
C．The presence of drivers.	D．The range of travel route

3. Which word can best describe Lyu’s attitude towards the national guideline?

A．Favourable.

B．Pessimistic.

C．Critical.

D．Conservative

4. Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A．China launches the first pilot area for self-driving

D．A breakthrough in commercialization of new technology

7 . It’s no surprise that wasting things is a nightmare for the environment — everything that we eat, wear, and consume takes up natural resources.When it comes to food waste, the environment has a double whammy — water, packaging,transportation,and agricultural resources get used up, and leftover sandwich or expired (过期的) broccoli you bought in hopes of healthy eating releases greenhouse gases as it decomposes in a landfill.

A new study from the UN Environment Program has found that a fair amount of food may never reach our mouth. Some get lost in production process, but it is mostly households that are to blame: the major waste results from our kitchen. 11 percent of the food in our fridges ends up in the trash, compared to a mere 2 and 5 percent respectively, from grocery stores and fast-food restaurants. These data madden almost half of the world’s population who are still struggling for healthy food. But surprisingly, the new study found that even less-developed countries are guilty of astonishing food waste, which is previously being thought of only as a rich-nation issue.

So what can we do? Something crucial is being more considered and prepared when going to the grocery store. Make a list of meals you want to cook, and then only buy fresh produce that you will 100 percent be eating in the next few days.

Societally, enhancing education on food preservation, food recycling and composting (堆肥), and pushing companies to sell smaller quantities food for one or two persons could all play a helpful role in bringing down the massive pile of food waste, says Edward Jaenicke, a professor of agricultural economics.

While some climate change related issues seem above our individual choices to solve, like the sea level rise,food waste is something we can actually make an impact on, by shopping smart, learning how to compost, and even getting creative with ingredients in the kitchen.We can actually make a difference by making some efforts or good choices or even changes in life.

C．Trouble.

D．Advantage.

2. Which of the following sees the most serious food waste?

A．Grocery stores.	B．Home kitchens.

B．Food waste in developed countries is serious.

C．The economy determines the degree of waste.

D．Sufficient food supply remains a big challenge.

4. Which suggestion may be a solution to food waste according to the text?

A．Improve food sale strategies.

B．Educate students to avoid junk food.

C．Buy what you eat and eat what you buy.

8 . Opening a good book can take you on an adventure but sometimes, it’s not what’s on the pages, but what’s been left in them is the most exciting part for Sharon McKellar, a librarian at the Oakland Public Library. She has been collecting mementos left in the library for years. Now. she’s finally found a use for all those old family photos, notes, coupons recipes and concert tickets she’s collected in books over the years.

McKellar started the “Found in a Library Book” project — an online database of all the things found in books at the library. “It started out as my personal collection, but I put out a call to other library staff, just to see if anybody had anything they’d be willing to share, and was just totally inundated with other people’s little collections of all sorts of things they had found,” McKellar told CBS News.

McKellar has added 370 mementos to the library’s online collection -but she said she had a couple hundred more to upload. Many of the mementos are notes and some are book reviews left behind for the next reader: “I loved this book. It stole my heart and made me cry. When you find tear stains, you will know they are mine.”

McKellar said that while the origins of the forgotten mementos remain a mystery, some people have recognized items on the online database, “One person named Susan reached out because one of the love notes looked like her parents’ handwriting and the kind of notes they used to leave each other,” she said.

The project is fairly new, but McKellar hopes it inspires people to dive into books at their local library, “You never know what you’ll find. You just have a sense of shared space in community.” McKellar said. “I think part of why people are especially excited about that right now is we have obviously been in a fast-paced society. So, it is a way to sort of feel a connection with people who you don’t even know through these forgotten objects.”

1. What does the underlined word “mementos” refer to in paragraph 1?

A．The adventure stories.	B．The forgotten memories.
C．The items found in books.	D．The well-designed pages.

2. Why did McKellar contact other librarians?

A．To raise money for her project.	B．To investigate their commitment.
C．To launch a lost-and-found project.	D．To enrich the database of her collection.

3. What is implied from Susan’s case in paragraph 4?

A．The project aims to find lost relatives.

B．Inspiring love stories impress people a lot.

C．The origins of the mementos remain mysterious.

D．The experience adds to the emotional appeal of the project.

4. What is the possible reason for the popularity of McKellar’s project?

A．It helps people find lost objects.	B．It inspires people to read widely.
C．It offers a community-based link.	D．It brings local libraries back to life.
