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 in class. Contrary 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.
The results of the test show that______.
[A] breakfast has great effect on work and studies
[B] breakfast has much to do with people's health
[C] a person will work better if he has simple breakfast
[D] breakfast only affects those who work with their brains
Littleton News Update
The rate of unemployment in Littleton, a small town in the south west of England, has reached a record high this week. According to Helen Santer of Littleton Business Association, there are currently over 4,000 people registered as unemployed. This represents almost a quarter of the town's working population and is an increase of 5% compared to the previous year.
The main reason for this rise was the closure of the last remaining factory in the town, LKS. The company, which manufactured a number of parts for use in the computer industry, finally closed its doors in August, leaving over 150 people without work. Another major employer in Littleton, the Victoria Hotel, was recently bought by the well-known hotel chain Mount Clark, which fought off an attempted takeover by the health club operators Health Check.
Although staff had feared that they would lose their jobs in the resulting reorganisation, hardly any 'employees have in fact been made redundant. The company's management has recently announced ambitious plans for the improvement of the building's guestrooms.
More people are without work in Littleton than ever before.
A.Right
B.Wrong

Today she ' s the happy mom to two children from her husband ' s first marriage. Looking back on her single days, she remembers her unhappiness. "I had the same feeling that many women have, which is that you ' re not considered a whole person unless you ' re married with children, " she says. "But as I reached my 40s, I realized that was to-tally wrong …… I could still have a very fulfilling life. " It was only after she' d come to peace with the fact that she might never marry that she met her future husband while shopping in a supermar-ket.
To mark the 20th anniversary of this story, reporters sought out as many of the women in the story as they could fnd. Out of 14 single women in the article, ll were found. Among them, eight ended up marrying, and three remain single. Several had children. None divorced(离婚).
For her part, Christine isn' t surprised. "I' ve watched a lot of people, married while young,get divorced," she says. "I think that if you do wait until Mr. Right comes along, you have amuch better chance. "

This art of communication has taken centuries to develop. The village of Kuskoy spreads out across two hillsides that are separated by a deep valley. The villagers had to find an easy way to communicate where their voices couldn't carry. They developed a highpitched (高音的) whistle language that could be transmitted as far as five miles through air. As a result, Kuskoy, which means "bird village" in Turkish, has come to be known as a whistler's paradise (乐园).
Whistling is so much part of everyday life in Kuskoy that men and women speak, argue (辩论), and court (求爱) in whistles. The story was recently told of a young couple who eloped (私奔). The news was sent over the "mountain telephone" by whistling. The lover's adventure (险经历) was quickly known to all the villagers.
It is little wonder, then, that the children of Kuskoy study whistling in school. Wouldn't it be fun to start the school day with a song-whistled of course!
In the story, Kuskoy is the name of ______.
A.a man
B.a country
C.a town
D.a village
