ul with good honor. However, many people skip breakfast or substitute a cup of coffee for a well balanced meal. What happens if we don’t pay attention to the importance of breakfast?One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants included both males and females in ages from 12 to 83. The results showed that if a person eats a good 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 activities. The study showed that if schoolchildren 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 is poor.The study also showed that if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people bee 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 want to lose weight, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will likely lose more weight if you decrease your other meals.12.

Each of the island’s three corners has an extinct volcano (死火山). Easter Island was relatively unknown until 1722, when Dutch Admiral Roggeveen arrived with the first Europeans ever to set foot on the island. To their great surprise, they were greeted by hundreds of extremely large stone statues lining the shores. 17 All were “figures of men with short square bodies and strangely oversized heads, many balancing red stone hats on their heads.” They were very similar to one another. 18 Each face was taller than a human being, and many were as tall as a fourstory building.For an early society to have made these huge figures with only stone tools was an amazing achievement in itself. 19 The discovery of a large stone quarry (采石場(chǎng)) unlocked the secrets. It was obvious that this was the site where the statues had been carved (雕刻) before being moved to their final resting places. Some statues appeared to be plete, while others had barely been started. When work on these statues suddenly stopped, some were in the process of being moved. It was obvious that the statue builders had cut down the island’s trees to make rolling logs (滾木) and wooden scaffolds (支架). 20 A. The history of Easter Island is rich.B. It is a relatively small island with a total area of only 63 square miles.C. For centuri
