The Importance of Breakfast

Do you eat breakfast every day? A recent study shows that many teenagers skip breakfast. They think they can save time or lose weight by doing so. However, breakfast is often called the most important meal of the day, and for good reasons.

After a long night's sleep, your body needs fuel to start the day. Eating breakfast provides you with energy and improves your concentration. Students who eat breakfast tend to perform better in school. They have better memory and are more focused during morning classes.

Breakfast also helps control your weight. When you skip breakfast, you are more likely to feel very hungry later and overeat at lunch or snack on unhealthy foods. Eating a healthy breakfast can kick-start your metabolism (新陈代谢) and help you burn calories throughout the day.

A good breakfast doesn't have to be complicated. A bowl of whole-grain cereal with milk, a piece of fruit, or some yogurt are all quick and healthy choices. Try to include some protein and fiber to keep you feeling full longer.

Making time for breakfast is making time for your health and your success.

（______）21. Many teenagers eat breakfast because they want to save time.

（______）22. Eating breakfast can help students concentrate better in the morning.

（______）23. Skipping breakfast is a good way to control your weight.

（______）24. A healthy breakfast should include protein and fiber.

（______）25. The article suggests that breakfast is not very important for health.

Have you ever heard of “plogging”? It is a new fitness trend that started in Sweden. The word “plogging” comes from the Swedish phrase “plocka upp” (which means “pick up”) and the English word “jogging”. So, plogging means picking up litter while you are jogging.

Plogging is good for both your health and the environment. When you plog, you don't just run; you also stop, bend down, pick up trash, and then continue running. These extra movements make your exercise more effective. You burn more calories compared to normal jogging. It's also a great way to make your community cleaner and more beautiful.

To start plogging, all you need is a pair of running shoes, a trash bag, and a pair of gloves to protect your hands. You can do it alone or with friends. Many people share their plogging photos on social media to encourage others to join.

Next time you go for a run, why not take a bag with you and try plogging? It's a simple way to make a big difference.

Many people think that the Great Wall of China is one long, continuous wall. But actually, it is a series of walls and fortifications (防御工事) built across the historical northern borders of China. The earliest walls were built over 2,000 years ago by different states to protect their territories. The most famous parts were built by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, around 220 B.C. Later dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), rebuilt and extended the wall.

The main purpose of the Great Wall was military defense. It was used to protect the Chinese states and empires from invasions by various nomadic groups (游牧民族). Watchtowers were built along the wall. Soldiers in these towers could send smoke signals to warn of attacks.

Today, the Great Wall is a symbol of China and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year. However, some sections are in poor condition due to natural erosion (侵蚀) and human damage. Protecting the Great Wall is an important task for China.

The total length of all the walls built over centuries is about 21,196 kilometers. That's longer than half the length of the equator (赤道)!

36. What is the Great Wall of China actually made up of?

A. One long, continuous wall. B. Many separate short walls.

C. A series of walls and fortifications. D. Only watchtowers.

37. When were the most famous parts of the Great Wall first built?
