When Ronald Reagan, who was President of the USA from 1982 to 1989, died in 2004, many people remembered his good sense of humor. Reagan enjoyed a good joke and often made fun of himself. He was very old, almost 70 years of age, when he became President of the USA. Because of this, people often joked about his age. Once, during a meeting, President Reagan was complaining about some reporters who said that he could not hear very well. He wanted to prove that he was healthy and could hear well, so he took out his hearing aid, and said to the people at the meeting, “Say something.” One man pretended to speak. He moved his mouth and made movements with his hands. Everyone thought Reagan would be angry, but he laughed and listened for a very long time.

President Reagan not only enjoyed a good joke when he was relaxing, but he also liked to joke during serious situations. In 1981, he had a shot accident.

Taking a math test can be pretty stressful. Even if you know the material, you can still get the problem wrong. 1. Therefore you’ll improve your grades, as well as your math skills.

Write it out

You can also check a math problem by writing everything out on paper. 2. Writing out math problems reduces your chances of missing anything to the lowest possible level, which is a common cause of incorrect answers.

3.

Make sure your answers work by doing the opposite procedure of what your problem calls for, including the answer you got the first time around. In other words, you would use the opposite of this addition problem—subtraction (減法)—to determine whether your answer is the correct one.

Plug in（代入）

You may find that a variable isn’t good enough or have a problem where you have to solve for a variable (變量). 4. This is the only real way to assure yourself that the answer you’ve found is correct.

5.

If the result of a problem seems to make no sense, it indicates that the answer is incorrect. For example, if you get an answer in the millions and you know it should be in the thousands, you’ve likely misplaced a point. Go back through the work on your paper to make sure all of your formulas and calculations are correct. If everything looks okay, do the problem again and compare the result of the second try to what you’ve got on the first try.

A. Do the opposite.

B. Correct the answers.

C. Plug the variable in the equation (方程) to check it out.

D. Knowing how to go through your math test and checking your work can save you from handing in a test full of mistakes.

E. It also helps you to figure out everything after you have already finished the test.

F. Check for a reasonable answer

G. This helps you to know what information you have and what information you need to solve.

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected . Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting（節(jié)食）.

Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.

A good breakfast should provide up to1/3 of your total calories needs for the day. On average（平均）, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating a lighter for the breakfast in the morning.

If you aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有營養(yǎng)的) mid-morning snack alter when you are hungry.

So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people fear eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you eat more. That’s because your body is working all day long , in fact, you are probably not.

Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very quickly. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals through the day, you are less likely to become hungry and fill yourself as soon as you begin to eat. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles, and cereals.(谷物)。

1.Which of the following statement is Not the reason for not having breakfast?

A. Their time is limited. B. They want to lose weight.

C. Their stomachs are full. D. They want to start work early.[

2.What’s the meaning of the word “fast” in the phrase “break the fast”?

A. movement B. certain kind of food

C. quickness D. going without food

A. have some snacks when hungry

B. see a doctor to have an examination

C. have a good dinner

D. go to a restaurant to enjoy a good meal

4.From the passage, we can know the writer believes .
