Question

I know what you’re thinking: pizza（比薩餅）？ For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.

I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早飯), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saying” calories (卡路里)，still others just don’t like breakfast food.學科But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight .“Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D. ,  who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.學科Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers – it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

【小題2】B

【小題3】A

【小題4】B

解析:

這篇閱讀理解是一篇大家比較熟悉的一個話題：“建議吃好早餐”。這篇文章文字簡單，就總體而言，考生大致能理解和掌握它的大意：一些人們對早餐的誤解；不吃早餐能減肥等錯誤的做法。從選材和文字特點方面可以看出，這篇文章通俗易懂，不“偏”不“怪”。如果感覺完形難度偏大的學生在做這道試題時，會相對輕松。

【小題1】猜測詞義題。 可以根據構詞法猜測詞義。Left over為詞組留下的意思，leftover是其名詞形式。

【小題2】推理判斷題。根據第二段開頭可以推斷，很多人對早餐的意義認識不到。

【小題3】段義歸納題。最后一段的eat something in the morning是本段的主題句。

【小題4】主旨大意題。由第三段和第四段反復出現lose weight可知答案。
