But the truth is that you can have last nights leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.I know lots of women who skip breakfast （不吃早饭）, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they dont have time, others think theyre “saving” calories （卡路里），still others just dont like breakfast food.But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when youre trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this years “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if its loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last nights leftoversit may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow.” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it you may save yourself some pre-bed time calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 27. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means _. A. food remaining after a meal B. things left undone C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit 28. What can we infer from the text? A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. D. Eating vegetables helps save energy. 29. According to the last paragraph, it is important to _. A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat C. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food 30. The text is written mainly for those _. A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep 第二节 阅读填空(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 (31)_You probably think you will never be a top student.
