Every morning, I eat the same breakfast. Every evening, I eat a different dinner. Strange? But I’m not alone. Why do we avoid variety in the morning, yet later in the same day, seek variety in our choice of food?

Part of the answer is biological. We are most energetic in the morning, and our arousal level (唤醒水平) declines from that top until we go to sleep. So we may prefer less stimulating foods in the morning to avoid feeling overstimulated, and prefer more stimulating foods later to avoid feeling under-stimulated.

Part of the answer is cultural. The modern workday means we have the least time for meals in the morning. If we find a breakfast rewarding and efficient, eating that same food for breakfast will become a habit we stick to.

However, much of the answer still lies in psychology - not that we believe breakfast is not important but that people pursue different goals when eating breakfast and other meals.

What goals are we pursuing in our meals? Two goals influence all kinds of decisions about what we eat — hedonic (享乐的) and practical goals. Hedonic goals drive people to eat foods that provide pleasurable experiences and feelings, and practical goals drive people to eat to efficiently achieve other aims such as weight control, health, convenience or efficiency.

We find that as the day progresses, more and more people change from pursuing practical goals for breakfast to gaining the pleasure. In over 3000+ products’ name descriptions from Amazon, we find that there are more pleasure-related words ( e.g., tasty, delicious ) for breakfast compared to practical words ( e.g., nutritious, healthy ).

Whether the goals come from our culture or biology, they appear to be the psychological driver of our tendency to eat the same breakfast day after day. In that case we can have control over the goals to improve our diet. Why not have a try?

4. Which example shows breakfast is eaten for the hedonic goal?

A. I order a tiramisu because I love its creamy flavor.

B. I order an egg because it’s a good source of protein.

C. I order dumplings because they make me energized.

D. I order bread and milk because it saves me much time.

5. What is the biological reason for lack of variety in breakfast?

A. To increase arousal level. B. To be more energetic.

C. To improve efficiency. D. To avoid overstimulation.

6. What’s the structure of the text?

( ①=Para.1  ②=Para.2  ③=Para.3  ④=Para.4  ⑤=Para.5  ⑥=Par.6  ⑦=Para.7 )

A. ①-②③-④⑤/⑥⑦ B. ①-②③/④⑤-⑥⑦

C. ①-②③/④⑤⑥-⑦ D. ①-②③/④-⑤⑥/⑦

7. What’s the best title for the text?

A. Breakfast Matters A Lot B. What Breakfast Tells Us

C. Goals Of The Same Breakfast D. Behind Repeated Breakfast

C

The first time you start to read a poem, you must relax and read through it without concentrating on its meaning. Imagine you are meeting a person for the first time. You will just observe him and listen to his voice, as well as watch his shapes or movements, but you have not yet known what he is all about. Likewise, you may enjoy the sound, rhythms, or wording, and form some first impressions about a poem.

On your second reading, you should concentrate more on the general meaning of the poem. This time, you will want to compare your feelings about the poem by now with how you felt before. Are they the same? What is different and why?

Your third reading will focus more on details: the words, phrases, or images. Looking up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary so that you can gain a more accurate understanding. Using the example given above about meeting someone, his image will change gradually and slightly as you meet and learn more about him. Therefore, in your additional readings, it is a good idea to compare your understanding each time with the understanding before.

A helpful approach to further understanding a poem is to summarize it in your own words. Compare your version of understanding with those of others reading the same poem, and listen to how they form such opinions. Remember, however, that there is no exact or right meaning for a poem, as most poets have admitted they themselves are not exactly sure what they meant when writing certain lines or phrases; they have even been heard to say on occasion that sometimes words just seem to “drop from heaven” and land on the page. That is what awakening the imagination is all about. If you are lucky, and if you practice enough, magical things may happen when you write and you may be able to produce a beautiful poem or other work of art yourself.

8. Why does the author give the example of “meeting a person” ?

A. To arouse readers’ interest in reading poems. B. To support his argument about reading poems.

C. To advise poem readers to be relaxed. D. To make his point easier to understand.

9. What will you gain from the third reading of a poem?

A. General meaning. B. Rhythm beauty.

C. Deeper meaning. D. Poetic structure.

10. What does the underlined word “ that ” refer to?

A. Poets themselves don’t understand their poems.

B. Beautiful poems drop from heaven occasionally.

C. Poetic meanings are open to different explanations.

D. Writing a summary helps understand a poem.

11. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?

A. Practice and patience make a man perfect.

B. Poetry is an expression of one’s will in words.

C. Inspiration and hard work help create great poems.

D. Luck marches with those who give their very best.

D

After years of living life covered up in alcohol (酒精), my belief systems were broken into pieces — I no longer cared, I no longer felt alive. During my own journey to quit drinking, I first learned about the connection between art and recovery, while witnessing others on the same path.

While art cannot directly bring someone into recovery, it can certainly help established bonds and fuel the passion for life. Last year at the annual conference for Women For Sobriety (清醒), various group painting events were arranged, where I learned how to experience fun without alcohol. I truly believe magic happens when I take pen, color, or form. From this simple, yet poetic combination, there can be a variety of human responses. Viewers can be fascinated, drawn into the mind or spirit of the artist. Thus, emotion is felt and inner voice heard.

Art encourages self-expression, which is often limited during active addiction Finding healthy new ways to express emotions and feelings is an important part of recovery. Art is an outlet for what cannot be spoken. Children, for example, can draw more about what they feel since they do not have the words to describe what they are feeling. The same is true for people in recovery.

Better still, people who create can become more skilled in other aspects of life from relationships to managing stress. Reconnecting to life through art fuels insight, confidence and helps heal. When one is creating, the mind cannot focus on pain or darkness, but instead the focus has the opportunity to change to the absolute present. Imagine a woman, who decides to stop drinking, sitting at the pottery (陶器) wheel, her mind consumed by the feel of the cold clay while the thick water runs over her cupped bands. Gently, she forms the wet earth into a vase, leaving her mark. On the outside, it can appear as though the woman is simply learning a new skill. On the inside, though, her mind is free from being trapped in negative emotions and concentrates on connecting to the now, to the turning wheel, releasing (释放) unending beauty from within.

12. What does “magic” underlined in para.2 refer to?

A The energy generated from the on-site painting.

B. The instant recovery from her alcohol addiction.

C. The emotional tics built between her and viewers.

D. The dramatic combination of painting and poems.

13. Why did the author mention children in Paragraph 3?

A. To show art can partly fill the emotional gap.

B. To emphasize the power of speech is too limited.

C. To indicate addicts actually are similar to children.

D. To prove emotions can be conveyed by means of art.

14. How can the woman making pottery relieve her pain?

A. By changing focus. B. By expressing herself.

C. By connecting to others. D. By releasing beauty.

15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

A. To tell her story of breaking with alcohol addiction.

B. To show how creativity helps recover from addiction.

C. To encourage people to set aside time for painting.

D. To argue for the concept of living without alcohol.
