Eating a big breakfast could help you burn double the amount of calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner.
It could be the key to losing weight while also keeping blood sugar levels steady, researchers at Lübeck University in Germany said. Their study found filling up in the morning boosts a metabolism (新陈代谢) process known as diet-induced thermogenesis(DIT). DIT refers to the number of calories the body expends to heat the body and digest food. It was shown to be twice as high for those who ate more at breakfast than at dinner. On the other hand, a low-calorie breakfast increases appetite(食欲), especially for sweets, the researchers admitted.
The findings published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism were based on a laboratory experiment of 16 men. They consumed a low and high calorie breakfast and dinner one day—and then vice versa (反过来) on another. The study also showed increases in blood sugar and insulin concentrations, caused by eating a meal, was reduced after breakfast, but not so much after dinner. The results also showed eating a low-calorie breakfast caused sweet desires with a higher appetite. This suggests those saving all their calories for the end of the day may face consequences because they snack more.
The study adds to increasing evidence that the best way of losing weight is to eat your largest meal in the morning—and your smallest in the evening. Dr Richter, a neurobiologist at Lübeck University, said, “Eating more at breakfast instead of dinner could prevent obesity(肥胖) and high blood sugar.” Both obesity and high blood sugar can lead to many life-threatening illnesses including cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Previous research has shown DIT is lower in people with obesity. It’s seen as a measure of how well our metabolism is working.
DIT can differ depending on mealtime and is generally slower in the evening and at night due to our body clocks. Dr Richter said, “We recommend that patients with obesity as well as healthy people eat a large breakfast rather than a large dinner to reduce body weight and prevent metabolic diseases.”
Professor Daniela Jakubowicz, author of The Big Breakfast Diet, found that those who piled on the calories in the morning were more likely to feel satisfied, preventing snacking throughout the day. And another study by Professor Jakubowicz found that eating chocolate in the morning, when our metabolism is at its highest, prevented desires for sweet things later on.

A.is usually slower in the evening than during the daytime.
B.refers to the number of calories needed to heat the body.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

22、5-year-old boy Harvey Sutton just finished walking the entire length of the Appalachian Trail, one of the longest footpaths in the world. The 3,500-kilometer-long trail passes through 14 states in the eastern United States. Harvey and his parents, Josh and Cassie Sutton, completed the trip in 209 days.
It was hard work. But it was also fun. Harvey got to watch wild animals. He climbed over tall rocks. His parents tried hard to keep their little boy happy and excited. They had little time to pay attention to their own physical pain from walking so many kilometers. “It gave us a bond and a strength that we hadn’t realized before,” Cassie Sutton said.
Other young children have hiked the trail. Even some babies have travelled with their parents. Harvey was 4 years old when he and his parents began their walk in January. He turned 5 before the family completed the trip earlier this month in Maine. He is two years younger than “Buddy Backpacker,” a boy who once held the record for youngest person to complete the trail last May. But a little girl named Juniper Netteberg finished the trail at age four with her parents last October.
It may seem like an extreme activity for a child, but according to Dr. Laura Blaisdell, a children’s doctor and medical adviser to the American Camp Association, children are strong enough for the experience if parents attend to their child’s usual social and emotional development.
Josh Sutton said they met and talked with other hikers along the way, who started calling his son “Little Man,” early on the trip. Harvey’s new name spread quickly among hikers all along the Appalachian Trail. Karl Donus Sakas hiked with the family from Pennsylvania to the end of the trail in Maine. He helped the family prevent Harvey from boredom by creating a treasure hunt with maps. Little Man found hidden playthings and brightly lit sticks along the trail. At a Dollar General store, Harvey bought himself a calculator to keep track of all of the kilometers he had walked.
Harvey’s trip is going to change his life forever. The kid has gone through some hardships, and he is going to smile through life.
【1】Who is the youngest ever finishing the trail?
A.Harvey Sutton.
B.Buddy Backpacker.
C.Juniper Netteberg.
D.A baby carried by its parents.
【2】What does Dr. Laura Blaisdell think of a long walking for children?
A.Harmful.

D.Acceptable.
【3】How did Karl Donus Sakas help the family along the way?
A.By keeping Harvey amused.
B.By carrying heavy belongings.
C.By providing financial support.
D.By offering necessary equipment.
【4】What does Harvey benefit from the experience?
A.He is going to be a hit.
B.He will avoid all barriers.
C.He will be a qualified climber.
D.He will be a man of strong will.
23、If you look outside, you probably will see some kind of insect. If your first instinct is to kill it, take a moment to think about all of the benefits insects provide to the environment.
Entomologists, scientists who study insects, estimate that there are more than 800,000 species of insects found throughout the world. Only a few hundred of these insects are considered harmful. Mosquitoes, for example, are considered harmful. They bite humans and other animals, and their bites can cause skin pain and spread disease. Desert locusts also are considered harmful because they destroy crops causing billions of dollars in damage each year.
However, the number of helpful insect species far outweighs the number of harmful species. Some insects make up a vital part of the food chain. Many different birds, reptiles, fish and even plants eat insects. There are also about 500 insects that people in various parts of the world eat. These insects are considered delicious food and prized for their high protein, mineral, and vitamin content. Other insects produce valuable commercial products such as silk, wax, and honey.
Of all the insects, perhaps the most important are those that travel from flower to flower and pollinate(授粉) the plants they visit. Agriculture around the world would be very different without the bees, butterflies, moths, flies and wasps that pollinate many crops. In fact, nearly one-third of the food you eat depends on plants that are pollinated by insects!
While it is true that some species of insects harm or annoy us, you should not automatically reach for the bug spray when you come across an insect. You may be destroying one of the hundreds of thousands of insects that provides many benefits to human beings.
【1】According to the passage, the most important type of insects are ________.
A. insects that are eaten by birds, reptiles and fish
B. insects that travel around and pollinate plants

【2】According to the passage, insects are eaten in some parts of the world because ________.
A. they are nutritious

A. you should not keep insects as pets
B. you should not breed insects for their benefit
C. you should not catch insects for pleasure
D. you should not kill insects without thinking
【4】The main purpose of this passage is ________.
A. to explain why it is cruel to kill bugs
B. to convince people that insects are nutritious
C. to describe the beneficial contributions of insects
D. to make people aware of endangered insect species
