Controlling your food longings and dropping pounds fast is easy: Just eat breakfast. The editors of Eat This, Not That! carried out researches to determine some best breakfast food for weight loss.
Black Beans
Protein, per 1/2 cup: 7g
Black beans will not only fill you up for hours but also help slim you down. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that with black beans consumed daily, study participants’ fat reduced by 4 percent over two years.
Peanut Butter
Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7—8g
While processed peanut butter is filled with sugar and oils, the real stuff is made with just two ingredients: salt and peanuts. The peanut is filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. Nutritionist and personal trainer Kristin Reisinger suggests using the healthy fat in an AM smoothie.
Almond Butter
Protein, per 2 tbsp: 7—8g
“Almond butter is high in protein, fiber and monounsaturated fats,” says Martha McKittrick, RDN, CDE. “Studies have also shown that people who eat nuts are less likely to become overweight than those who avoid them, likely because it helps you feel fuller.” To get the benefits at breakfast, McKittrick suggests spreading some nut butter on the whole grain toast.
Eggs
Protein, per two large eggs: 13g
“Eggs are an excellent source of protein and other healthy nutrients including fat-burning choline(胆碱),” says McKittrick. Choline, also found in lean meats, seafood and collard greens, attacks the gene mechanism that causes your body to store fat around your liver, according to Zero Belly Cookbook. The more eggs you eat, the less egg-shaped you get.
1.Which two foods contain the same amount of protein?
A. Black beans and eggs
B. Almond butter and eggs
C. Black beans and peanut butter
D. Peanut butter and almond butter
2.How does Almond Butter help control weight?
A. It helps people sleep better B. It offers people more protein

Ask any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat, and foods like pizza, burgers and chips are always mentioned.
But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating. According to the National Diet and Nutrition (营养) Survey, far too many young people in the UK between the ages of 4 and 18 eat too much fat, sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories. And their intake of starchy carbohydrates (含淀粉的碳水化合物), fiber, iron, vitamins and calcium (钙) is too low.
For a growing body, eating foods containing plenty of calcium, such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, is very important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy, strong bones. Similarly, foods that are rich in iron are good for young rapidly developing bodies, so red meat, bread, green vegetables, and dried fruit are also good to eat.
It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched (根深蒂固的), so it is important that young people are educated about what foods are good for them. In 2005, in order to change eating habits and open teenagers' minds to new tastes, chef Jamie Oliver started a "Feed Me Better" project. As part of a television series, "Jamie' s School Dinners", he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more nutritious school meals. Although some teenagers and parents refused to have a try at first, the project went very well and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals.
No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but, hopefully, if projects like "Feed Me Better" continue to give out the right messages, more young people will understand the importance of eating healthily.
1.What problem do teenagers in the UK have?
A. Most of them are too fat.
B. Most of them eat too little.
C. Many of them don' t eat healthily.
D. Many of them are short of exercise.
2.The underlined word "essential" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to" "
A. difficult B. possible C. common D. necessary
3.According to the text, the "Feed Me Better" project _ _
A. proved to be a success
B. taught teachers how to cook
C. was started by the government
D. was started at Jamie's school first
4.Which of the following opinions does the author probably agree to?
A. Lifestyle habits are difficult to change.
B. Too much red meat is also bad for health.
C. Teenagers should learn to feed them better.
D. Teenagers should stop eating fast and junk food.

The color of food might affect just how much you want to eat them,but what about the birds in your neighborhood?Would they care what color their food is?Try this out for a science fair project,or just to learn something new while making your local birds happy.
Begin this experiment with the question“What color of birdseed(鸟食),if any,will birds like the most?”, and then make a hypothesis (假设) based on your question. An example might be“Birds will eat more green birdseed than other colors of birdseed.”
You should get several bird feeders. Purchase birdseed that is very light in color. To color the birdseed, pour it into a bowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store. Mix them up well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed is colored. You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seed that has not been colored—this is called the control and it will give you something to compare your results to. Now just hang them up outside in the same location,and wait for your feathered friends to show up. This works best in an area where birds are used to feeding from a feeder—it can take birds over a week to find new feeders.
Observe your bird feeders whenever possible,and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day. A ruler is helpful for this. You might also want to take pictures of the feeders and keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder. Over time,you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more than others.
Once your experiment is done,you will be able to go back to your hypothesis and see if it is correct. Remember, it’s not bad if your hypothesis was wrong. The main thing is that you’ve learned something from your experiment,and hopefully you had some fun doing it.
1.What’s the purpose of this experiment?
A.To see what color birds like most.
B.To make local birds happy.
C.To see if the color of food affects birds.
D.To find how local birds feed themselves.
2.What’s the second step for this experiment?
A.Observing bird feeders. B.Raising a question.
C.Collecting all the data. D.Making a hypothesis.
3.The underlined words“feathered friends”in Paragraph 3 refer to .
A.feeders B.birds
C.neighbors D.locals
4.What is the most important about the bird feeders?
A.They are filled with some water. B.They are placed in secret places.
C.They are painted in different colors. D.They are all the same size and type.

You’re out to dinner. The food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.
Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different factors from the waiter’s choice of words to how they carry themselves while taking orders to the bill’s total.
“Studies before have shown that mimicry (模仿) brings into positive feelings for the mimicker,” wrote Rick van Baaren, a social psychology professor. “These studies show that people who are being mimicked become more generous toward the person who mimics them.”
So Rick van Baren divided 59 waiters into two groups. He requested that half serve with a phrase such as, “Coming up!” Those in the other half were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home(实得收入). The results were clear---it pays to mimic your customer. The copycat waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.
Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper may be limited by his bill. After research on the 1,000 tips left for waiters, cab drivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers’ bills went up.
“That’s also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cab driver for being there to pick you up and something to the waiter for being there to serve you. If they weren’t there you’d never get any service. So part of the idea of a tip is for just being there.”
1.According to the passage, a customer gives the cab driver a tip for ____.
A. driver’s politeness B. being there C. driver’s attitudes D. driver’s mimicry
2.According to the passage, which of the following will be likely to show the right change of the tip percentages for the three areas researched?
3.According to the passage, we know the writer seems to _________.
A. oppose Mr. Green’s idea about tipping
B. support the opinions of Mr. Green and Rick van Baaren about tipping
C. give his generous tip to the waiters very often
D. think part of Mr. Green’s explanation is reasonable

Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory and family and place. 1.
Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations.
2. Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well.
3. Sometimes food means living on. While the Chinese cooks who exported “Chinese” food around the world ate authentic cooking at home, the dishes they served, thus creating new cuisines entirely, were based on economic necessity.
Food as pleasure. Things have changed dramatically in the past 20 years when it comes to food in France. Some of the ideas of French food life may be a performance. France is this pastoral nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. 4.
Food as status. The introduction of global foods and brands has compounded food as a status symbol for some Chinese. 5. In China, people eat food not necessarily for taste, but for texture. You can find food from all of the provinces of China in Shanghai, as well as every kind of global food style imaginable.
A.Food as survival.
B.Food as community.
C.It’s the hardest to give up.
D.The celebratory nature of food is universal.
E.It is an accumulation, a function of your experiences
F.How and why you eat your food, is, of course, also very cultural.
G.But food in Italy is love, then nutrition, then history, then pleasure.

Body and Food
Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy.
But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?
