Will it matter if you don't take your
breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of
different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these
people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast
at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had
eaten different kinds of breakfasts. The results show that if a
person eats a breakfast, be or she will work better than if he or she has no
breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school,
he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result (效果，答案) is opposite (相反) to what some people think. Having no
breakfast will not help you lose weight (减轻体重). This is because people become so
hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain (获得，利润) weight
(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight (重量，负担) if you reduce
your other meals.
