I know what you're thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night's leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.
I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don't have time, others think they're “saving” calories, still others just don't like breakfast food.
But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R, D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it's loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.
So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers－it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it... you may save yourself some pre­bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat­burning effects.

A．food remaining after a meal B．things left undone

    Collecting information about pre-employment and filling out an application form                                                                                              (申請表)are closely connected, However, filling out an application form is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan.

    That you are given a form to fill out does not necessarily mean that you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes  before signing (簽約)it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realize is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind.

    I know what I speak of because, as a lawyer for Litton Industries. I wrote the terms and conditions that were printed on the back of order forms, I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything, If anyone questions them. We would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides.

    So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you don’t like something, you can simply change the parts you don’t like, Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position(立場),of course, and that is something only you can determine.

1.Filling out application forms is much “easier” because              .

A. everything connected with application forms is easier

B. it is easier to collect information about pre-employment

C. you can plan and have control of the needed time

D. you can control the form filling with enough time

2.We can learn from the underlined part” Each word is important” that     

        .

A. everything in a form must be read carefully

B. questions in a form must be answered

C. the conditions that interest you are changeable

D. something of your interests is most important

3.The writer points out with an example that the side who will sign a form

           .

A. may know it is tiring for both sides to ask questions

B. has to hire a highly paid lawyer to fill out the form

C. should to refuse to answer the questions in the form.

D. can reach an agreement with the other side by discussion

4.It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that____________

     A. it depends on your position to settle everything in a form.

     B. questions in a form are more important than your position

     C. you have little right to determine the conditions you like most.

   D. you must change a preprinted application before it is discussed.
