Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a farmer at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.
The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re
on an empty stomach.
Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On
the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.
26. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is important
B. it’s easy to lose weight without breakfast
C. there’s no need to have good food for supper
D. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter
27. Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?
A. It is part of our brain.
B. It tells people to eat breakfast.
C. It decides which food we like.

参考答案
Ⅲ.One possible version:
Dear Tony,
How's everything going on with you? This afternoon, we had a class meeting. In class, we talked about the advantages of breakfast as well as the disadvantages of not having breakfast. As you know, you can't pay attention with an empty stomach. And you may feel good the whole day because of the delicious breakfast. Most importantly, you can improve the relationship with family members at breakfast. Though breakfast is the most important meal of the day, most students still miss it quite often. If you don't have breakfast, it will do harm to your brain, which makes you slow in reaction. More unluckily, it will lead to some illnesses. What's your opinion upon breakfast? Can you tell me something about your breakfast in the next email?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Wang Kai。
