How to Build a Better Breakfast
We've all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day，and that may actually be true.A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight than those who didn't eat a morning meal. 1 But it's not just whether you eat or not；it's what you eat that matters.These tips will help you really rise and shine：
1．Eat even if you're not hungry.
Although you might not feel like eating when you get up in the morning，it's a good idea to get something into your system.Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jumpstart your metabolism(新陈代谢) and keep you from getting hungry later. 2
2．Be boring.
Changing what you eat is a good idea in theory，but if you are watching your weight，you might want to stick with the same old menu.People who allow their breakfast calories to change have larger waists and a higher incidence(发生率) of metabolic syndrome than folks who keep their morning calorie intake constant，no matter how much they eat for the rest of the day. 3
3.Add peanuts or peanut butter.
By eating peanuts or peanut butter，the carbohydrates are taken in more slowly and blood sugar does not rise as high. 4 So they are less likely to snack later.
4． 5
There's an old saying that advises“Eat breakfast like a king，lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper”．It's worth following.Those who eat a balanced 700calorie breakfast over a 12week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a 200calorie meal.They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds and have lower levels of ghrelin，the“hunger hormone”．
A．Go big.
B．Pile on the produce.
C．Just a banana will do the trick.
D．So it's worth making the effort to hold it steady.
E．It could set you up for overeating throughout the day.
F．Plus women feel fuller for up to 12 hours after eating peanuts or peanut butter.
G．Other studies link skipping breakfast with a higher risk of developing high blood pressure，heart disease，and type 2 diabetes(糖尿病)．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“如何吃好早餐”。作为一天中最重要的一餐，早餐的作用不容小觑。文中就如何更好地吃早餐给出了四点建议。
1．G [根据空前的句子可知，一项研究发现，吃早餐的人比不吃早餐的人更可能减肥。G项说明其他研究发现不吃早餐的害处，意义衔接连贯；另外，G项中的“Other studies”与空格前的“A study”相呼应，故答案为G项。]
2．C [根据该段小标题可知，即使不饿也要吃早餐。C项“仅仅一根香蕉也会起到作用”与该部分主旨一致。]
3．D [根据该段小标题和“stick with the same old menu”以及空格前一句中早餐卡路里摄入量改变与否的健康状况比较可推知，该部分的中心是“保持早餐卡路里摄入量不变化”，D项“所以努力保持其稳定是值得的”与段落大意吻合，且D项中代词it指代前一句中的“calorie intake”。]
4．F [根据该部分的小标题和阐述部分不难看出，段落的核心词是peanuts or peanut butter。F项中有核心词的复现，还有后文they所指代的复数名词women，符合代词上下文指代一致的原则，且衔接副词Plus(另外，而且)也提示了其与空格前一句话的并列关系，故选F项。]
5．A [空格处为段落小标题。由该段第一句中的“Eat breakfast like a king”可得出结论：早餐卡路里摄入量越多越有益，这与A选项Go big(吃大餐)相呼应，故选A项。]
