26、Breakfast is food for the brain and for the rest of your body. And downing those morning calories is worth it, even for people worried about their weight, a new study finds.
The study was led by Marlene Schwartz, a psychologists who studies obesity (肥胖). Her group studied some 600 middle-school students. Over three years, students from 12 different schools were asked about their breakfasts. Throughout the study about 34%---44% of all students said that they regularly ate breakfast at home. Up to 17%, or almost one in every six kids, regularly ate breakfast at school. Overall (总的来说), about one in every 10 kids reported eating breakfasts both at home and at school. Eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older. For instance, fifth graders were more likely to regularly eat breakfast at home. But by seventh grade, 22% of the studied kids often skipped breakfast.
Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school. It also found that students who skipped breakfast most often were those most likely to be overweight. These findings may seem puzzling. Yet Schwartz’s team can think of several possible explanations.
Skipping breakfast may set people up to be “over-hungry” later in the day, she says. Then someone may eat more food than their body needs. When that happens, it might take the brain longer to realize “you have enough food and can stop eating now.” What’s more, not eating in the morning prevents our brains and bodies from working properly. It’s very difficult for children to stay concentrated in class if they arrive without having breakfast.
But why should eating two breakfasts not lead to weight gain? One explanation may be that school breakfasts are very healthy and controlled in size, notes Schwartz. Also, most of the double-breakfast eaters are boys. These kids are active and actively growing. They sometimes eat twice as much as other people.
【1】The example underlined in the second paragraph is meant to tell us ________.
A.having breakfast is of no use at all
B.skipping breakfast is rather harmful to kids’ health
C.kids will change their eating habits as they grow older
D.it is important to have breakfast regularly
【2】According to the passage, which one of the following statements is NOT true?
A.The study was carried out among middle-school students.
B.The study was going on for over three years.
C.Skipping breakfast often will actually lead to weight gain..

【3】Based on the passage, what may happen to a boy who eats breakfast regularly?
A.He may put on weight.
B.His brain and body will work properly.
C.He will be in perfect health.
D.He will be absent-minded in class.
【4】What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph?
A.Kids moving a lot need more energy.
B.Kids should eat more to stay healthy.
C.Eating two breakfasts will lead to weight gain.

27、Lomography was first officially introduced to China when the Lomography World Congress was held in Beijing in July, 2004. The Lomography World Congress is the greatest annual event of the Lomographic Society. It has been held in Madrid, New York, Tokyo, Cologne and Vienna, etc. The 2004’s great affair(盛会) took place in Beijing and ran a full week.

The 10 th Golden Rule is ‘don’t worry about any rules’, I think it introduces to us a concept: It’s you who make the rules and it’s you who break the rules.

28、 One devoted man is helping to make sure that children with poor living conditions won't go hungry during the school day.
Mary’s Meals, an organization founded in 2002 by Scottish farmer Magnus Macfarlane-Barrow, provides needy kids in 12 countries with free meals at school each weekday. The group's aim is to ensure that students have food in their stomachs so they can better fix their attention on the study in class.
Macfarlane-Barrow, who runs Mary’s Meals on his father's farm, told CNN that the entire operation started with a conversation he had with a teen living in a poor state. He said, 'In 2002, I was in Malawi during a year of terribly short of food, and I met this family — the father had died, and the mother was dying with her six children around her. I began talking to her oldest child, Edward, who was about 14, and asked him, 'What are your hopes? 'And he said, 'I'd like to have enough food to eat, and I'd like to go to school one day. '' And that was it.
In its first year, the group fed 200 children in need. Since that time, it has made rapid progress. Last month, Mary's Meals fed more than one million children every school day. That was 5 million meals every week. 'The million is amazingly important, but we are far from satisfied. Our work's just beginning. We’ve proved that this works, and now we've just thinking about the next child, ' said Macfarlane-Barrow.
He and the group recently celebrated the achievement in Malawi, where the program began. So far, the program has had very good results. In Malawi, schools that carried out the Mary's Meals program saw a 24 percent increase in the number of new students within the first six months.
【1】Why did Macfarlane-Barrow found Mary's Meals?
A.He hoped to provide free food for poor families.
B.He expected to teach children how to help others.
C.He wished to become well-known by helping others.
D.He wanted to make children free of hunger in class.
【2】What made Macfarlane-Barrow have the idea to start Mary's Meals?
A.The conversation with a poor child. B.The success of helping a needy kid.
C.The terribly short of food in Malawi. D.The poor living conditions of schools
【3】What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Schools in Malawi are popular.
B.No children suffer from hunger now.
C.Macfarlane-Barrow is satisfied with the result.
D.Mary's Meals program has been very successful.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Edward's dream has come true.
B.A farmer feeds one million kids every school day.
