Question

I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.

I know lots of women who skip (跳過) breakfast, and they have a lot of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time. Others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food.

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R, D, who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded（裝填） with vegetables, and you just eat one small piece.

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating (吃得過多) later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of getting weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers — it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body get the fat-burning effects.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一些人們對早餐的誤解；及不吃早餐能減肥等錯(cuò)誤的做法。

1.結(jié)合第一段中的“But the truth is that you can have last night?s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to”一句可推測“l(fā)ast night?s leftovers”指前天晚上的“剩飯”。故A項(xiàng)的解釋“food remaining after a meal”正確。

2.第二段中作者主要指出了許多女士不吃早餐，并列舉了她們不吃早餐的借口。由此可推出許多人對早餐有著錯(cuò)誤的觀念。其他三項(xiàng)文中沒有提及。所以本題選B。

3.在最后一段So eat something in the morning, anything，作者告訴讀者一定要吃早餐，并指出了具體建議方法及其重要性。所以本題選D。

4.通過閱讀全文和when you’re trying to lose weight.可知，本文主要是針對減肥的人的。所以本題選A。
