Will skipping breakfast make me fat
The good news for those who don’t have breakfast is that putting on weight isn’t inevitable —as long as you control those high-calorie desires and stay active.
Research shows that although avoiding breakfast will make you hungrier and you might make up for that with a bigger lunch, this won’t necessarily make you “fatter” — on average, those who skip breakfast don’t eat more across the whole day than if they didn’t skip it. Some researchers have found that you may even eat fewer calories overall, and end up using your body’s fat reserves for energy, which can actually help you lose weight.
However, weight isn’t the only consideration: studies show that breakfast-skippers are likely to exercise less. This may be because they have lower energy levels-after eight hours or so without food, the body will have used up most of its stores of easy-to-access energy during sleep. Morning fasters are also more likely to have unhealthy, but appetite-suppressing habits, such as smoking or drinking a lot of coffee.
If you want to ensure that you eat a regular, nutritious breakfast, try preparing it the night before don’t leave it until the morning, when your brain struggles to make good decisions.
If you do skip breakfast. . .
■Don’t make up for it with a huge lunch, otherwise you’ll suffer overeating.
■Make sure you eat something before you exercise, or you risk “hitting the wall”.
■Don’t make up for lack of energy with coffee-it can make you lose your appetite and make you anxious and nervous.
24．What does the underlined word “inevitable” mean in Paragraph 2
A．Unbelievable. B．Unavoidable. C．Uncomfortable. D．Unbearable.
25．Why do some breakfast-skippers lose weight
A．They do more exercise. B．They stay active all day.
C．They reserve their body fat. D．They take in fewer calories.
26．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Aims of the studies. B．Ways of losing weight.
C．Effects of skipping breakfast. D．Suggestions for breakfast-skippers.
27．What is the author’s attitude towards skipping breakfast
A．Objective. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.
C
Some animals enjoy playing just like humans do although researchers used to think that applied mostly to birds and mammals. An animal plays when it does something that doesn’t seem to be constructive to its survival so it’s not about food or shelter, for instance. The behavior is also often done again and again.
However, scientists have now conducted experiments that seems to prove bees play too. As far as the experts know, bees are the only insect to do so.
Researchers from Queen Mary University in London earned out an experiment in which bumble bees were taught to roll little balls with the aim of being rewarded with food. They then discovered the insects kept rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. They then did another experiment: a path was built from the beehive to a section containing food. Balls were placed on each side of the path leading to the food. The balls on one side were glued down and couldn’t move and the balls on the other side were free and capable of moving. The bees could stay on the path to get to their food, but they always went to the side of the moveable balls and rolled them along. One bee even rolled the balls 44 times in one day.
Researchers say the experiments may well show insects are more evolved than we think.
28．Which of the following best describes the animals’ behavior
A．Recovered. B．Repeated. C．Responded. D．Recommended.
29．What was the result of the first experiment
A．The bees kept playing without reward.
B．The bees taught each other to roll balls.
C．The bees rolled little balls to get food.
D．The bees rewarded each other.
30．What was the purpose of the experiments
A．To show the balls were movable.
B．To show the bees enjoy food.
C．To show the bees enjoy playing.
D．To show the balls were important.
31．What can we learn about from the passage
A．Insects’ evolution is out of control.
B．Insects’ behaviors are beyond imagination.
C．Insects’ behaviors are out of control.
D．Insects’ evolution is beyond imagination.
D
There have been few positives during the pandemic but British academics may have unearthed one people look more attractive in protective masks.
Dr. Michael Lewis, an expert in faces, said research carried out before the pandemic had found that medical face masks reduced attractiveness because they were associated with disease. “We wanted to test whether this had changed since face coverings became common and understand whether the type of mask had any effect.” he said. “Our study suggests faces are considered most attractive when covered by medical face masks. This may be because we’re used to health care workers wearing blue masks and now we associate these with people in caring or medical professions.”
The research was carried out in February 2021 by which time the British population had become used to wearing masks in some circumstances. Forty-three women were asked to rate on a scale of one to 10 the attractiveness of images of male faces without a mask, wearing a plain cloth mask, a blue medical face mask, and holding a plain black book covering the area a face mask would hide. The participants said those wearing a cloth mask were significantly more attractive than the ones with no masks or whose faces were partly covered by the book. But the surgical mask — which was just a normal, disposable kind — made the wearer look even better.
“The pandemic has changed our psychology in how we perceive the wearers of masks,” said Lewis. “When we see someone wearing a mask we no longer think that person has a disease, I need to stay away’ Lewis said it was possible that masks made people more attractive because they directed attention to the eyes. Other studies had found that covering the left or right half of a face also made people look more attractive, partly because the brain fills in the missing gaps and exaggerates the overall impact.
32．How did people wearing medical face masks use to strike others
A．Strange. B．Relaxing. C．Undesirable. D．Attractive.
33．According to the research, which of the following is the most appealing
A．Tom, holding a blue medical face mask.
B．Mark, wearing a plain cloth mask.
C．Paul, a book covering the lower area of the face.
D．Jason, with a surgical mask covering his face.
34．What can be inferred about the effect of the pandemic on people from the text
A．People have changed their attitude to medical workers.
B．People prefer to wear masks when they are outdoors.
C．People hold a more positive view on those wearing masks.
D．People keep a positive attitude to persons with illness.
35．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Masks help during the pandemic.
B．Men need to wear masks.
C．Find ways to become attractive.
D．Face masks make you charming.
