A
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.

A. no breakfast at all
B. very rich breakfast
C. little food for breakfast
D. different breakfast or none

A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies

书面表达：
Dear John,
I’m glad to hear that you are going to travel. Now I’d like to share my view on travelling with you.
In my opinion, travelling is a very good activity. When you get tired with your work or study and when you have free time, you can go out to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe the fresh air, meet different people and make friends with them. Only by relaxing yourself will you forget your tiredness and build your health.
In order to have a pleasant journey, you need to make full preparations ahead of time. You’d better have clear information about the weather, and bring proper clothes, a camera, some medicine for common injuries and diseases and so on.。On your journey, you must pay attention to what you eat. Be careful with everything everywhere in case your money gets stolen.
Do you agree with me? Wish you a good journey.
Yours，
LiHua
