For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grownups especially. There may be nothing wrong with leaving out breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Amold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly 11 inadequate (不充分的 ), and most of the recent work involves children, not grownups. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Pollitt at the University of Texan, “is poor.” 65.

Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black. News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United 12 States. Here is how one of the newspapers reported the event: LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTY BLACK WINS 56% OF VOTES Bradley called his victory over Yorty “the fulfillment(實現(xiàn) ) of a dream”. During his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “You can’t do this, you can’t go there, because you are a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the city’s mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 43. 7 percent. Los Angeles has had many opportunities to judge Thomas Bradley and to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council ten years ago. At the time of the Los Angeles election, three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of those cites had as large a population as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland , Ohio, had thirtysix percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary, Indiana, which had fiftyfive percent black. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenh Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising. In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent fortyeight of his fiftyfive years in Los Angeles. For years ago Bradley lost mayoral election to Yorty. This time Bradley won. 69. In the author’s opinion, it was surprising that .
