Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn’t take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and do better at work as well. Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to have no breakfast. If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight. A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time. 1.The first paragraph mainly tells us that ______. A. it is necessary to have a good breakfast every day B. many adults are too busy to have breakfast every day C. many adults go to work without having breakfast D. many children go to school without breakfast 2.According to the passage, we feel tired at work probably because __. A. we need to have a cup of coffee B. we don’t have a good breakfast C. our brains don’t work any longer D. we don’t have enough sleep at night 3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Having a good breakfast can help you to finish your work. B. Eating a good breakfast is enough for the whole day. C. Breakfast is really the most important meal in a day. D. You will be happier if you have a good breakfast. 4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______. A. it is healthy only to have beans and eggs for your breakfast B. you mustn’t have meat for your breakfast C. you should eat sugary foods if you feel hungry D. you should eat something which has protein and fiber for breakfast
