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 body 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 a better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brain. If a student eats fruits, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary 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 cut down your other meals.

A. no breakfast at all        B. very rich breakfast
