It is a good choice for parents who want to live a vegan life. And the recipes （食谱） are great.

This cookbook includes 150 recipes， many of which parents can easily make for their kids. Besides， being a dessert cookbook， The Joy of Vegan Baking also provides other healthier treats and plenty of recipes for baking beginners.

The Modern Vegetarian Kitchen

This book is divided into well-planned parts such as soups， salads and pasta dishes， and further divided according to seasonal ingredients. The recipes do not cost you too much time.

Six years ago， Shilagh Mirgain decided to reach a goal she'd had on her bucket （人生目標） list for 20 years： to reach the highest point of Mount Kilimanjaro. Two years ago she began to work out every day， often with a heavy bag， to prepare for the goal. Last summer， she booked her tour. In February， she stood at the highest point of the mountain. If it weren't for her bucket list， Mirgain says she might never have known the freedom that standing on one of the world's most famous mountains could give.

“Bucket lists are helpful in that they're a way of listening to your heart，” she says. “It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day work， to-do lists， going to work and coming home， doing housework， and the like—you can lose sight of your real wishes.”

The idea of making a bucket list to create a more meaningful life is certainly bolstered by many stories in books or movies. Research also shows it is true. One study found that people who wrote down their goals had a higher chance of success than those who did not. Once you've got it down， take a practical step toward crossing something off， keeping in mind that some goals might require training， saving money， or waiting until a certain point in your life. Mirgain's strong wish to reach her goal spoke for itself in its effectiveness （效率）.

“There is something great about completing your bucket list，” she says. “To have worked toward something that you've wanted to experience or achieve gives you an unshakable confidence and can change your opinion of the world.” To that we say： Let's make a list.

4. What do we know about Shilagh Mirgain from Paragraph 1？

A. She has developed a good habit.    B. She has achieved all her goals.

C. She has had an impossible dream.  D. She succeeded in achieving a goal.

5. What does Shilagh Mirgain think of making a bucket list？

A. It is common.    B. It requires patience.

C. It is important.    D. It needs courage.

6. What does the underlined word “bolstered” in Paragraph 3 mean？

A. Supported.    B. Destroyed.  C. Improved.    D. Recorded.

7. What can be the best title for the text？

A. Let's make a bucket list    B. What is your bucket list？

C. How to make a to-do list？    D. It is important to take action

Good Breakfast Equals Good Grades

When things get wildly busy in the morning， some people skip breakfast to save time. But that may be a big mistake for students. Eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades.

That is the finding of a 2015 study from Cardiff University in Wales. Researchers there looked at 5，000 9—11 year-olds from more than 100 primary schools in the U.K. They looked at what the students ate for breakfast and then their grades six to 18 months later. They found that the students who ate a healthy breakfast were twice as likely to perform above average in educational activities. The researchers also found that unhealthy breakfasts—such as potato chips or a donut did not appear helpful to educational performance.

In 2013， an organization in the USA also looked at possible connections between breakfast and student success in school. The Share Our Strength's campaign， No Kid Hungry， found that on average students who ate breakfast provided by their school attended 1.5 more days of school per year. These students also scored 17.5 percent higher on standardized math tests.

But， are there really many children who do not eat breakfast？ The answer is yes. Experts say that in the USA about 8—12 % of all students in grade school （Kindergarten through 8th grade） do not eat breakfast. By the time students are in high school （grades 9—12）， 20—30% of them ignore the morning meal. In Canada， researchers looked at the eating habits of 42，000 students and found that “39% of students reported eating breakfast fewer than three days in a usual school week.”

Health experts also suggest not eating too much for breakfast. This can also make a person feel tired and unable to think clearly. They say eating between 350 and 500 calories in the morning is a good amount of energy to start the day. A good breakfast is not just helpful for school-aged children. We all may gain from eating something healthy.

8. How does the author get the topic introduced？

A. By giving an example.          B. By using a quotation.

C. By reporting a research.        D. By pointing out a common mistake.

9. What is known about the 2015 study？

A. It was done in the United States.  B. It covered 500 primary schools.

C. It took at least one and a half years.  D. It involved students of six grades.

10. What did No Kid Hungry find in 2013？

A. School breakfast is helpful to educational performance.

B. Eating breakfast can improve students' school attendance.

C. School breakfast is the best choice for primary students.

D. Healthy breakfast helps students get higher scores in all tests.

11. Which of the following is TRUE？

A. Teenagers need 350 and 500 calories a day.

B. More students skip breakfast as they grow up.

C. Things are worse in Canada than in the USA.

D. Eating too much for breakfast is worse than skipping it.

Spain is an ideal country for teenagers. The environment is spontaneous （自发的） and informal， which makes it easy for teenagers to make friends. The normal schedule is much more relaxing than in other countries， which is more in line with the natural rhythms of youth. The lifestyle moves around being outside in the fresh air， walking， and spending time in the city center. This allows teenagers to enjoy a certain freedom that is hardly experienced elsewhere. Spanish teenagers often get together in the city center and hang out， with nothing to fear， since Spain is a very safe country.

Spanish teenagers have many options to practice fun activities or sports in the outdoors. In the summer， many teenagers practice adventure sports such as canoeing， rafting， or climbing. In fact， there are many companies devoted to adventure sports in the country. In the winter， the same mountains that are alive and active in the summer become great places to ski or snowboard.

Spanish teenagers can also have fun from coast to coast due to over 3，000 kilometers of coastline. Teenagers can surf the wild waves of the Cantabrian Sea in the north or practice windsurfing and kite surfing in the blusterous （波濤汹涌的） Strait of Gibraltar. If you prefer to watch sports rather than play them， there is no shortage.

Spain has more theme parks than any other European country！ These theme parks attract a large number of teenagers from all over the world. Warner Brother's Park has some of the most exciting rides while Port Aventura Park is famous for its record-breaking attractions.

Going out is popular with teenagers as a great way to experience the true environment. In all Spanish towns and villages it is a tradition to hold festivals and other celebrations in the street including outdoor concerts， markets， fairs， firework displays， competitions， food stands， parades， etc.

Spaniards are well known for their love of being outside. Teenagers also spend a great deal of time outdoors having drinks with friends. There are many dance clubs especially for Spanish teenagers where they can hang out， dance， and have fun without any alcohol served.

12. What is mainly discussed in the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs？

A. Safe measures.    B. Physical education.

C. Places of interest.    D. Outdoor activities.

13. When it comes to the number of theme parks， Spain ranks ________.
