A

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.

The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully. The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增加体重) instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

We each have memory (记忆力). That’s why we still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things in a shot time, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He learns the sounds, remember them and then he

learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages easily because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the students have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge(知识). If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.

● Always notice the environment (环境)around you. You should not walk alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them easily.
