Question

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 bodies 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 better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.

Opposite 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 reduce your other meals.

试题分析：文章介绍了一个对不吃早饭人人的影响的研究。研究证明吃早餐会提高效率，不吃早晨不会使人们减肥。

1.细节题。根据第一段3,4行these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all说明D正确。

2.推理题。根据第二段第一行Opposite to(与.....相反) what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight.说明很多人原来以为不吃早饭可以减肥。实际上比吃早饭，并不能达到减肥的目的。故A正确。

3.推理题。根据文章最后一句You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.说明不吃早饭不会让人减肥，但是不吃中饭和晚饭却可以让人减肥，故C的说法是错误的。

4.细节题：从倒数第二段的句子：If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.可知如果学生不吃早饭，学习效率会很低。选 D
