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. During the test, those who were tested were given ________.
| A．no breakfast at all. | B．very rich breakfast. |
| C．little food for breakfast. | D．different breakfasts or none. |
The results of the test show that ________.
| A．breakfast has great effect on work and studies. |
| B．breakfast has little to do with a person’s work. |
| C．a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast. |
| D．those working with brains should have much for breakfast. |
According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ________.
| A．he will fall ill. |
| B．he will fail to listen to his teacher. |
| C．he will not make progress in his study. |
| D．his mind will work more slowly. |

James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he’d better buy a necklace. He wasn’t used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion about a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.
