【题目】How to Build a Better Breakfast

We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that may actually be true. A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal. 1 But it's not just when you eat; it's what you eat. These tips will help you really rise and shine:

1. Eat even if you're not hungry.

Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it's a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism(新陈代谢)and keep you from getting hungry later. 2

2. Be boring.

Changing what you eat is a good idea in theory, but if you are watching your weight, you might want to stick with the same old menu. People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists(腰围)and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome(代谢综合征)than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day. 3

3. Add peanuts or peanut butter.

By eating peanuts or peanut butter, the carbohydrates(碳水化合物)are taken in more slowly and blood sugar does not rise as high. 4 So they are less likely to snack later.

4. 5

There's an old saying that advises 'Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. " It's worth following. Those who eat a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a 200-calorie meal. They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds and have lower levels of ghrelin, the "hunger hormone(激素).

A. Go big.

B. Pile on the produce.

C. Other studies link skipping breakfast with a higher risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes(糖尿病).

D. So it's worth making the effort to hold it steady.

E. It could set you up for overeating throughout the day.

F. Just a banana will do the trick.

G. Plus women feel fuller for up to 12 hours after eating the peanut butter or peanuts.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文,介绍了如何吃一顿更好的早餐的几点建议。

1根据空前的“A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal.可知,一项研究发现,吃早餐的人比不吃早餐的人更容易减肥,此处承接上文,讲的是不吃早餐的其他危害,故C项(其他研究表明,不吃早餐会增加患高血压、心脏病和2型糖尿病的风险)符合语境。

2根据空前的“Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism(新陈代谢)and keep you from getting hungry later.”可知,起床后90分钟内吃东西会加速你的新陈代谢,让你不会感到饿,此处补充说明,说的是关于吃的东西,故F项(一根香蕉就可以了)符合语境。

3根据空前的“People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists(腰围)and a higher incidence of metabolic syndrome(代谢综合征)than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant, no matter how much they eat the rest of the day.”可知,与那些保持早晨卡路里摄入量不变的人相比,那些不改变早餐卡路里摄入量的人腰围更大,患代谢综合征的几率也更高,不管他们接下来一天吃了多少,此处总结上文,故D项(所以努力保持稳定是值得的)符合语境。

4根据空后的“So they are less likely to snack later.”可知,所以她们以后不太可能吃零食,此处解释原因,故G项(此外,女性在食用花生酱或花生后,会感到长达12小时的饱腹感)符合语境。

5根据本段内容,特别是第一句“There's an old saying that advises 'Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. "”可知,早餐要像国王一样吃,午餐要像王子一样吃,晚餐要像乞丐一样吃”,再结合后面的对比可知,本段讲的是早餐要吃就吃好,故A项(做大点)符合语境。
