2009年高考英语全国卷2 - 阅读理解A

I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a.m. if you want to.
我知道你在想什么：早餐吃比萨? 但事实是，如果你愿意，你可以早餐吃昨晚的剩饭。

I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time; others think they’re “saving” calories; still others just don’t like breakfast food.
我知道很多女人不吃早餐，她们这样做有太多的借口。一些人说她们没有时间；另一些人认为她们在“节省”卡路里；还有一些人就是不喜欢早餐。

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re 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 year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.
但底线是，当你想减肥时，早餐是非常重要的。“吃300到400卡路里的任何食物比什么都不吃要好”，凯瑟琳·布鲁金R.D.说，她为今年的“自我挑战”制定了超简单饮食计划。即使是比萨，如果里面装满了蔬菜，而且你只吃一小块的话，也是健康的。

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.
我从不错过早餐，大多数减肥成功的故事也是如此。研究表明，早餐会避免你在白天晚些时候吃得过饱。南加州大学的研究人员发现，不吃早餐的人比按时吃早餐的人更容易胖。

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 night’s leftovers—it 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-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.
所以早上吃点东西吧，随便什么。我认识很多朋友，他们最后都不吃早餐，只喝咖啡或橙汁。我说，可以加热昨晚的剩菜——这听起来可能很疯狂，但如果对你有效，就去做吧！我发现如果我告诉自己，“你明天总是可以吃的。”那天晚上，我就会把剩菜收起来，而不是吃得更多。试试吧，你可能会在睡前为自己节省一些卡路里，并且看着你的身体获得脂肪燃烧的效果。
