Look! There are thousands of people waiting to buy tickets home in the railway station. Each time when Spring Festival comes, buying tickets of train trip would be very hard. And things seem to be getting worse and worse, although we have greatly increased the mileage of railway network and speeded up trains. Why? It’s because too many people want to go back home to spend Spring Festival with their family. Many people become angry with the Ministry (部)of Railways.
They wonder why it is hopeless for them to get the tickets from the railway station(火車站)Instead, they sometimes can only buy them from ticket scalpers (票販) at much higher price.
The Ministry of Railways estimated(估計)that about 188 million passengers would travel by train during the 40-day peak (高峰) period surrounding the 2009 Spring Festival holiday. The number of travelers will be 8％ higher than that of 2008. This problem even drew the President Hu Jintao’s attention. He wrote a note to Liu Zhijun，Minister of the Ministry of Railways, asking him to take action to improve passenger convenience. Afterward, officials from the Ministry of Railways said they would try their best not to let any ticket-buyers spend Spring Festival at the railway station.
小題1: Many people can’t buy the tickets from the railway station, and they sometimes can only buy them from the scalpers_________.
A．expensivelyB．happilyC．dangerouslyD．hardly

Lots of women don’t have breakfast and they have a lot of different excuses for that. Some say they don’t have time, some think they’re losing weight, and others just don’t like breakfast.
But the fact is that eating in the morning is very important, especially when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all. If your pizza is added with vegetables, that’ll be better.
Breakfast is one kind of meal that one should never miss; even one is trying to lose weight.
Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from eating too much later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of getting fat than those who have a morning meal every day.
So if you want to lose weight, you should eat something in the morning. Anything is OK. Having only coffee or orange juice or having no breakfast does harm to your health.
I have a good idea here. I sometimes eat last night’s leftovers for breakfast. It may sound crazy, but it really works for me! I find if I tell myself, “You can eat them tomorrow.” I will put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it yourself. You may save some pre-bedtime calories. Keep it and see how healthy you will be!
小題1: What kind of the following food is the best breakfast?
A．Some coffee.B．Some orange juice.
C．A pizza with some vegetables.D．A piece o bread.
小題2:The word “l(fā)eftovers” probably means “________”.
A．food left after a mealB．some bad food
C．meals made of vegetablesD．some kind of pizza
小題3: Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B．People should eat a lot of food in the evening.
C．Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
D．People who don’t have breakfast are easy to lose weight.
