完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel.In a few hours he would be flying to France to   26   a different life.It was a transitional(过渡的) time in Daniel’s life.I wanted to   27   him some words of significance.But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   28   time I had let such moments pass.

    When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten.He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked     29     the steps of the bus and disappeared inside.The bus drove away and I said nothing.A decade later, a similar   30   played itself out.I drove him to college.As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him  31    and confidence as he started this new stage of life.Again, words   32   me.

    Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those    33   opportunities.How many times have I let such moments   34   ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have   35   to me.Or what he might want to face in the years   36  .Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

    What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   37   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter.My father and I loved each other.Yet, I always   38   never hearing him put his    39   into words.Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten.Why is it so   40   to tell a son something from the heart?

    My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.“Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say.He hugged me.For a moment, the world   41   , and there were just Daniel and me.He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying.All I was   42   of was the stubble(短须) on his chin as his face pressed    43    mine.What I had said to Daniel was   44   .It was nothing.And yet, it was    45     .

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experi­ment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.
Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
【小题1】During the test, those who were tested were given ________.

A.no breakfast at allB.very rich breakfast
C.little food for breakfastD.different breakfast or none
【小题2】The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will _________.
