According to Michael Bloomberg, to fight child obesity, kids should _______. A. watch fewer cartoons B. drink less sugary drinks C. not go to movie theaters D. take more physical exercise C Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is important to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%—from million to million—according to the Chicagobased Market Research Corporation of America. 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 omitting (省略 ) breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect work,” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve work.” [來(lái)源 Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充足的) , and most of the recent work concerns children, not grownups. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr Earnest Polite at the University of Texas, “is poor.” 47.

If you can’t remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 51 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading. Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, “No, thank you. I’m just looking.”? Both you and she know that if you aren’t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, “Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, “just looking” for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 52 Your reasons will vary。 By good fortune, I was able to raft down the Motu River in New Zealand twice during the last year.
