Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test（试验）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 for breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists（科学家）wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.

　　The result is opposite 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 weight（增加体重）instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

A．breakfast has great effect（影响）on work and studies

B．breakfast has little to do with a person's work

C．a person will work better if he only has fruit and milk

D．girl students should have little for breakfast

(3) According to（根据）the passage, some people think that if you don't have breakfast, you will ________.

A．It is bad for your health to have no breakfast.

B．Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter.

C．If you don't eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight.

D．If you have no breakfast, you'll become thinner.

There are many things we need to know but we do not learn at school．For example, if we want to use our money wisely（明智的）, we need to shop carefully．We need to know how to compare the prices of things in different shops．We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands（品牌）． We need to know how to make a choice（选择）when we shop．

Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need these skills if we want to live useful and happy lives．

Some of these choices are small．For example, will I take an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I go to school by bus or on foot? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important．For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will I work hard in all my classes or will I only work hard in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like this every day．

We have to realize that the choices we make can influence the rest of our lives．Just as importantly, our choices can also influence other people．The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, think about this: Who else does your choice influence?

 In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Money does have its most useful effect on the poor. But once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn`t mean more happiness.

If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁) would have real love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true .But can love be bought ?I`m afraid not . Love means to give , not to take . To every person , health and long life are probably the most precious things . Well , can health and a long life be bought with money ? The answer is “No”.

Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought, either. In a word, where money is dreamed too much, it can cause brothers to quarrel, marriage to end, lovers to hate, and strangers to fight. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for.
