Will It Matter if I Skip Breakfast?
If you have to miss one meal a day （or if you want to do so）, which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it? If they have to make a decision of this type, most people （especially dieters or very busy people） will choose to skip breakfast.
However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast （the meal which “breaks” your “fast” which started the night before） to be most important meal of the day．If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor．Nevertheless, many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal．What happens if we ignore the importance of breakfast?
One recent study carried out in the United Sates tested a large number of people．Participants （people who take part in something） included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83．During the experiment , these people were given a variety of breakfast , and sometimes, they had to skip breakfast completely .Special tests , including blood tests and endurance （忍耐力） tests, were set up to analyze how well the participants’ bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.
The results showed that if he or she eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast．This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental activity．The study showed that if school children eat fruit, eggs, bread, and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is improper.
The study also showed that, contrary to what many people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight．This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing．So remember, if you are on a diet, skipping breakfast will not help you．You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
1．In the word “ breakfast” fast probably means _____.
A．“moving quickly” B．“going without food”
C．“unlikely to go fast” D．“fast food”
2．Many experts in the field of health think __________________.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Upon reaching an appropriate age, usually between 18 and 21 years, children are encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life. After children leave home they often find social relationships and financial support outside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married, Romantic love is most often the basis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spousesthrough other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Although children choose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his autonomy in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family Coexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self – reliance and independence.
