How do you want your eggs? Someone might ask that question at breakfast. It can be tricky if you've never thought about it before, and there are many ways to cook eggs!
One popular way kids like is “scrambled”, which means the cook breaks the eggs and mixes the whites and yolks together. If you cook them for a short time, they are soft scrambled—just a bit runny. But if you cook them for a longer time, you can make an “omelet”—you have to fold the hard scrambled eggs, but don’t mix them up. They can get a bit dry, and you will just have a folded, hard filling.
Another favourite way to cook eggs is “sunny side up”. It means the egg is fried on one side until the edges turn brown, and the yolk looks like the bright yellow sun. If you turn it over and cook it a little longer, you can get an “over easy” egg. If you want to be less runny, you can continue cooking it—for an “over medium” egg, you still don’t turn over. Over hard, eggs are fried until the whites are fully cooked and the yolks are also cooked even longer until the whites and yolks are fully cooked.
If you want to take an egg for lunch, try a “hard boiled” egg. You can peel it and eat it as a snack or cut it up for a salad. For a “soft boiled” egg, you can cook it for about 10 to 12 minutes.
So, how do you like your eggs? The choice is yours!

C篇
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了烧鸡蛋的多种方式(如炒鸡蛋、单面煎蛋等)，详细说明每种做法的步骤与特点，最后让读者自主选择喜欢的鸡蛋做法。
第26题:细节理解题
解析:关注不同煎蛋类型的“蛋黄熟度”描述。根据文中“‘over easy’ egg”对应的描述是“turn it over and cook it a little longer(翻面稍煎)”，此时蛋白已熟、蛋黄仍软；而“over medium”是“不翻面、减少溏心”，“over hard”是全熟。因此选B。
答案:B
第27题:细节统计题
解析:文中提到的鸡蛋做法有:scrambled(炒鸡蛋)、sunny side up/over easy/over medium/over hard(煎蛋的不同熟度)、hard boiled/soft boiled(煮鸡蛋)，共3种。
答案:B

【分析】
25题：词义猜测题，需结合上下文语境判断划线词含义，前文提到别人询问鸡蛋做法，后文说明煮鸡蛋方式多样，据此推导词义；26题：细节理解题，需定位文中不同煎蛋类型的描述，匹配蛋白熟、蛋黄软的对应选项；27题：细节统计题，需梳理全文提及的鸡蛋烹饪方式，分类计数；28题：文章出处题，需根据文章主题（日常烹饪鸡蛋）判断所属杂志板块。
【解析】
25题：根据第一段“it can be tricky if you've never thought about it before, and there are many ways to cook eggs”可知，因煮鸡蛋方式多，未提前思考的话该问题会“难”，A（无聊的）、C（有趣的）、D（容易的）均不符合，故选B。
26题：定位第三段“if you turn it over and cook it a little longer, you can get an 'over easy' egg”，结合上下文，over easy蛋翻面稍煎，此时蛋白熟、蛋黄仍软；over medium是减少溏心，over hard是全熟，故选B。
27题：文中提及的烹饪方式：①scrambled（炒鸡蛋）；②sunny side up/over系列（煎蛋）；③hard/soft boiled（煮鸡蛋），共3种，故选B。
28题：文章介绍日常煮鸡蛋的多种方式，属于生活常识类内容，应出自杂志“Life”板块，故选A。
