Breakfast is important
早餐很重要
If you don't have breakfast, what will happen? A short
time ago, some scientists did a test about this in the US.

People of different ages, from 12 to 83, took part in this
test. During the test, these people ate different kinds
of food for breakfast and sometimes they didn't have
breakfast at all. The scientists wanted to see how well
their bodies worked when they ate different food.
The result shows that if a person has a good breakfast, he or she will work
better. Not having breakfast will not help lose weight because people will become so
hungry at noon that they will eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead
of losing it. People will lose more weight if they have a healthy diet.

答案
早餐很重要
[译文]如果你不吃早餐,会发生什么? 不久前,一些科学家在美国进行了一项关于这一点的测试。12至83岁的不同年龄的人参加了这项测试。在测试过程中,这些人早餐吃了不同种类的食物,有时他们根本不吃早餐。科学家们想看看当他们吃不同的食物时,他们的身体运作得有多好。
结果表明,如果一个人早餐吃得好,他或她会更好地工作。不吃早餐将无助于减肥,因为人们中午将会变得很饿,以至于他们午饭将会吃得太多。他们的体重会增加而不是减少。如果人们有健康的饮食,他们会减掉更多的体重。
[答案]1. different 2. US 3. well 4. food
5. better 6. diet
