Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in

the United States. Those tests 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(相反的) 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.

Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, "We’ve been to a lot of other people’s

houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?"

"Yes, certainly," answered her husband, "A big party will be the easiest thing,

won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month."

So Mrs. Harris said, "Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on
