People today are becoming increasingly aware that a proper diet is the foundation of good health. If we don’t have a regular diet of proper food, we don’t have the fuel to perform at our best. However, some people think not eating breakfast doesn’t matter a lot, though eating it is important. Get the truth behind this common misconception and other meal frequency and timing meals.
Will eating breakfast every day help me lose weight?
Yes, eating the morning meal can actually help you shed pounds. People who have breakfast are less likely to eat diet-busting(破壞的) junk food and are more likely to exercise later in the day, as studies show. People who skip breakfast, on the other hand, usually make up the calories — and then some — before day's end. Researchers found that 78 percent of the men and women included in the National Weight Control Registry — who have maintained an average weight loss of 66 pounds for more than 5 years — eat breakfast every day.
Is "grazing" really healthier than eating three square meals a day?
No. Eating many small meals throughout the day is probably not better for you than three main meals, the traditional amounts of food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The idea that "grazing" is healthier comes from a few old studies showing that eating frequent meals throughout the day may burn more fat and lower insulin (胰島素)levels. But later studies have found no benefit to grazing. It's not healthier than eating three squares, according to the American Dietetic Association.
I've always eaten most of my calories at dinner. If I'm healthy, is there any reason for us not to keep doing this?
Hard to say. Instinctively, it sounds like a bad idea. Yet "one-mealers" tend to eat less food totally, scientists say, so your dining habit may actually help you stay tidy and attractive. On the other hand, one small, brief study by USDA scientists found that eating just one daily meal may cause small increases in blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol(膽固醇). If your annual blood tests show a rise in any key risk factors for heart disease or diabetes, it is high time for you to reconsider your meal strategy.
Will bedtime snacks make you fat?
No. But that's not permission for you to eat cookies before going to bed every night. Consuming more calories than you burn through physical activity produces big loose stomachs and weak legs no matter what time you overeat. A habit of snacking in front of the television every evening will lead to weight gain, but no more so than having a six-egg pancake for breakfast or conquering a bag of beans with sweet food at your desk every afternoon.
The final word
Eat fewer calories than you need in a day and you will lose weight. Eat breakfast because it will help you control calories better, not because it's a magic meal. Eat the number of meals that keeps you satisfied and energized. No one plan is best for everyone.

Just days after the January 4 premiere (首映) of Hollywood blockbuster Avatar in China, the box offices across the country had gone beyond 100 million yuan (around $14.7 million), thanks to the enthusiasm of huge number of Chinese movie fans. China Film Group Corp. Estimates are that the total box office may finally reach 500 million yuan.
Though almost every movie theater in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai gives Avatar top billing(最優(yōu)先的檔期), with as many as 20 show times a day, Chinese audience still find it tough to get a ticket. In Beijing, the Wanda Movie Theater in Shijingshan, the first IMAX theater in Asia, is the first choice for Avatar moviegoers. The theater shows the 3D IMAX version of Avatar five times a day, and tickets are generally sold out a day in advance.
In Shanghai, to get an IMAX ticket for Avatar can mean waiting in freezing weather all night for a show three days later. Shanghai local media reported that on Friday, around 500 people were queuing for tickets at 8 a.m. in front of the downtown Peace Cinema, including some who had waited for 12 hours. Movie fans came equipped with quilts, wooden stools and snacks, in a scene reminding of that at train ticket windows before the New Year, when huge numbers of Chinese travel to be with family.
For the 3D version of Avatar, ticket prices varied for different theaters and time slots(場次), ranging from 60 yuan to 120 yuan. Meanwhile, illegal tickets traders asked as much as 600 yuan for the IMAX version in Shanghai. The Peace Cinema is planning to raise the ticket price for the IMAX version to as much as 200 yuan from the current 150 yuan from Jan. 14 for some time slots.
A report by the People's Daily owes the difficulty in getting tickets partly to the lack of 3D screens in China. There are only 11 IMAX commercial theaters in nine cities across China. Because of this, people are traveling long distances to see the movie. In southern China, the IMAX-equipped Dongguan Wanda theater has seen a huge coming of people from Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Wednesday afternoon, due to a technical breakdown of the system, the movie was stopped for an hour, and the sound didn't come together with the picture. In the end, the general manager of the theater had to beg forgiveness on his knees twice to lessen the angry audience who drove a long way to see the movie. The theater had to pay back each audience member the full ticket price as well as 200 yuan for traffic expenses.
The world-wide gross(總收入) for "Avatar" is now at $1.335 billion, second only to the $1.843 billion pulled in by "Titanic," another film directed by Cameron. But how long will 'Avatar' manage to hold its death grip around the number one spot?
57. The behavior of movie fans in Shanghai shows that __________.
A. the time slots of the film are not enough |
B. people are too enthusiastic about the film Avatar |
C. Chinese seldom have chances to enjoy Hollywood blockbusters like Avatar |
D. the tickets for the film are harder to get than train tickets before the New Year |
A. the weather is freezing and the queue is too long |
B. the cinemas have raised the ticket price for Avatar |
C. not many 3D screens are available in China |
D. there are many illegal tickets traders in different cities |
A. thinks the film is sure to hold the number one spot |
B. questions the truth of the number one spot of the film |
C. concludes that the film Avatar is not better than Titanic |
D. doubts whether the film can keep its popularity with the people |
A. Hollywood Blockbuster Avatar Hitting China |
B. Chinese People Kneeling Down for a Film |
C. Lack of IMAX Theaters in China |
D. Difficulty in Seeing Avatar in China |

How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue SO well?When we compare them
With adults learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without
knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language.A grown—up person with fully developed mental powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact corflllland.What accounts for tllis difference?
Despite other explanations。tlle real answer in my opinion hes partly in the child himself,partly in the behaviour of the people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue in the most favorable of all,namely,the first years of hfe.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is more important,always in its genuine form,with the right pronunciation,rightIntonation,right use of words and right structure.He drinksin all the words and expressions which come to him in a hsh.ever—bubbhng spring.There is no resistance:there is perfect assimilation.
Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language—
student has each week a limited number of hours which he generally shares with others.The child
has another advantage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the
right kind of gestures and facial expressions.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found
In language lessons in schools,when one talks about ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January And what a child hears is generally what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech a聰successful,his desires are understood and fulfilled.
Finally,though a child’S“teachers”may not have been trained in language teaching,their re-
lations with him are always close and personal.ney take great pains to Inske their lessons easy.
