a row of glass rooms where figures can be seen deep in conversation.One minute turns into two and then five,and then ten.Finally,Klein boundsover,saying,“Right,shall we start?”Klein is the kind of person who you can imagine is in this situation a lot.It’s not because he’s rude or forgetful o r unreliable.In fact,he’s not any of those things.The Johannesburg-born Klein is an entrepreneur(企业家),often spoken about as the brains behind Lovefilm and an early employee at Skype,but his CV(履历) goes beyond that.For now,he says,the majority of his time is taken up with the companies Local Globe has invested in.“I’m involved on some level with all the companies in the portfolio(投资组合).” What that means in practice is that Klein attends regular meetings,and eeetings “where we meet with the companies”,and g ives advice “when companies are coming for important events likefundraising”.Oh,and on top of that,he’s also part of every company’s WhatsApp group—200 groups to be precise.“Time is nothing to him,so he’ll be replying to messages at 5 o’clock in the morning,” one of his assistants says.But Klein,a father of three children aged 12,11 and 4,says he actually tries to be “quite strict” about his time.“I’ve always tried not to do business at breakfast or dinner time.I try to be able to take the kids to school in the morning,and normally be at home for bedtime.Obviously as the kids get older,they don’t want you around as much,but that’s not the case while they’re at this age,” he says.This routine isn’t just limited to mornings and evenings,Klein says.Ever since he started dating his wife,they both have practiced “relaeans from a Friday night to a Saturday night,I’m not looking at emails,I’m not answering my phone,and I avoid driving.We’ve been doing that for almost 20 years at this point.I’ve always found t hat to be a great relief.”4.Why does Saul Klein often let others wait?A.He is rather unreliable.B.He is a little ill-mannered.C.He

breakfast with the increased BMI(body mass index),but few studies have been carried out into the effect of the other two meals of the day.However,a study conducted at Osaka University concluded that not eating dinner is a significant predictor of weight gain and obesity. 1 .As part of their annual check-ups,the students were asked how often they ate breakfast,lunch,and dinner.Researchers also took into consideration the time of eating,whether participants’ meal habits changed over the course of the study,and lifestyle factors.2 ,the researchers found that those who did so all the time were more likely to be older,more overweight,a smoker or drinker,to sleep for a shorter period of time,and skip other meals more frequently.These results suggested that skipping dinner,which was much less popular than skipping breakfast,could result in weight gain and higher likelihood of being overweight than skipping breakfast.It was significantly associated with weight gain of 10%or more,and having a BMI over 25,which is classed as overweight or obese. 3 .The researchers suggested that the reason why skipping dinner could lead to weight gain is that it makes people hungrier so they end up eating more over the course of the day. 4 .That’s because dinner is typically a meal that lends itself to nutritious foods like lean(脂肪少的) proteins and vegetables.The researchers note that their study had drawbacks:5 .Additionally,they didn’t take into account factors like eI has its limitations after allB.Besides,skipping dinner may mean a lower quality dietC.It should be repeated to assess a wider group of peopleD.Skipping lunch was more likely to bring about the same outcomesE.It followed 20,000 subjects overall above 18 over an average of three yearsF.Although the number of students who said they sometimes skipped dinner was smallG.Students skipping dinner has a stronger association with weight gain and obesity选修6 Unit3 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。
