The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football in the United States, becoming a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held, with Super Bowl I being the 1966 season championship game, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Super Bowl XLVI (46) was played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, on February 5, 2012, to determine the champion of the 2011 season; the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots.

The game was created as part of a merger agreement between the NFL and its rival league, the American Football League (AFL). It was agreed that the two leagues’ champion teams would play in an AFL--NFL World Championship Game until the merger was to officially begin in 1970. After the merger, each league was appointed as a “conference”, and the game was then played between the conference champions. Currently, the National Football Conference (NFC) leads the series with 25 wins to 21 wins for the American Football Conference (AFC).

The day on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered to be an existing American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”, though it is not determined by the government. It is the second—largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the Super Bowl has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year.

Because of its high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year. Due to the high cost of investing in advertising on the Super Bowl, companies regularly develop their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast’s commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the event’s pre-game and halftime ceremonies because of the exposure’s attracting more fans.

1.What does the Super Bowl use to show each game?

A．The year when the game is held.

B．English letters.

C．Roman numerals

D．Arabic numerals

2. What does the underlined word “merger” in the second paragraph refer to?

A．Union.                                B．Appearance.

A．the Super Bowl Sunday is an official national holiday

B．the Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day for U.S. food consumption

C．the Super Bowl has owned the biggest TV audience among all games

D．Thanksgiving Day is the second--largest day for U.S. food consumption

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that________.

A．singers and musicians perform during the event’s ceremonies to get more attention

B．people seldom discuss the broadcast’s commercials

C．commercial companies make much money by broadcasting advertisements

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 Southem 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 pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 
【小題1】The word “l(fā)eftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.

A．things left undoneB．food remaining after a meal
C．meals made of vegetablesD．pizza topped with fruit
【小題2】What can we infer from the text?
A．Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.
B．There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.
C．Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.
D．Eating vegetables helps save energy.
【小題3】According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________. 
A．eat something for breakfastB．put away the leftovers instead of eating more.
C．heat up leftovers for breakfastD．eat calorie-controlled food
【小題4】The text is written mainly for those_____________. 
A．who go to work earlyB．who stay up late
C．who want to lose weightD．who eat before sleep

Recently a Beijing father sent in a question at an Internet forum (論壇) asking what "PK" meant.

"My family has been watching the 'Super Girl' singing competition TV programme. My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.

To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.

In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.

Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand. A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand.

"My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition.

"GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.

Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.

If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!

1.By writing the article, the writer tries to  ________ .

A．explain some Internet language

B．suggest common Internet language

C．laugh at the Beijing father

D．draw our attention to Internet language

2.What does the writer think about the term "PK"?

A．Fathers can't possibly know it.

B．The daughter should understand it.

C．Online game players may know it.

D．"Super Girl" shouldn't have used it.

3.The examples of the Beijing father and the Tianjin teacher are used to show that Internet jargons ________ .

A．a(chǎn)re used not only online

B．can be understood very well

C．a(chǎn)re welcomed by all the people

D．cause trouble to our mother tongue

4.The underlined word "jargons" means " ________ " in Chinese.

A．行話

B．粗口

C．歌詞

D．趨勢
