    (A)你知道吃早饭有多重要吗? A study of 2,000 teenagers in the US showed that eating breakfast daily is helpful to young people.

    According to the study, teenagers who eat breakfast weigh around 5 pounds less than teenagers who do not. Although they take in more (B)calories in the morning, they are more active during the day because they have more energy. This means they bum more calories than non-breakfast eaters. The breakfast does not even have to be very healthy, as eating anything is better than nothing.

    The study also showed that eating breakfast keeps teenagers feeling full for longer, so they will not eat too many snacks later in the day. This is good news as most popular snacks, like sweets and potato chips are usually unhealthy and full of calories.

    Another big benefit of eating breakfast is that(C)it makes teenagers do better at school. This is because it gives them more energy to keep their attention in class.

    If you discover that you have problems   ①   (get) on with your classmates or friends, the most important thing   ②   (learn) is tolerance(宽容) .

    Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why he does things differently. Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep a temperate and open mind.

    You need to remember an old saying, (A)“Treat others how you want to be treated. ” If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it.

    (B)现在，没有人要求你改变自己。 Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.

    It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier. (C)学会接受能力、兴趣与自己不同的人。The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
