Question

Having Breakfast Or Not

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test (試驗) was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists (科學家) wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.

The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight (減輕體重). This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight (增加體重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

【解析】

試題分析：文章主要講的是不吃早餐對人們的影響。一項試驗表明，吃早餐的人比不吃早餐的人在工作上的表現更好。合理的早餐不僅能夠為工作和學習提供能量，還有助于減輕人們的體重。

1.these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all”可知，參加試驗的人得到各種各樣的早餐，有時候不吃早餐，故選C。

2.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast.”可知，測試表明，吃了合理搭配的早餐的人比沒有吃早餐的人在工作上的表現會更好，根據第二句可知，早餐也影響學生的學習效率，故選B。

3.The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight (減輕體重).”可知，一些人認為不吃早餐可以幫助減輕體重，故選C。

4.people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch”可知，不吃早餐不會減輕體重，因為不吃早飯到中午會變得很餓，以至于午飯會吃很多。根據“You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.”可知，如果你減少午飯和晚飯的量，你的體重會減少很多，說明“reduce”是“減少”的意思，故選A。

5.If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.”可知，早餐吃水果、雞蛋、面包和牛奶的學生，他的學習效率會更高，由此可知，早餐應該搭配合理，而不在于量的多少，D項錯誤，故選D。
