If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then you'd better get it right. Picking a healthy, filling breakfast can set your day up for a chain of good food choices. Best of all, there's a way to lose weight by adding to your morning meal instead of cutting foods out.
Berries(浆果) don't just help you put fresh produce into a breakfast, but they have some specific benefits that can help you lose weight. For one thing, they're full of fibre—you'll get about a third of your daily need in just one cup of raspberries. Your body can't break the fibre down, so it slows down digestion and keeps you full until lunch.
But that's not all. A study found that adults whose diets had the most amounts of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and other produce—were less likely to gain weight. Plus, some studies in mice suggest raspberries could speed up the breakdown of fat. Those studies used higher concentrates(浓缩液) than you'd get from a bowl but they might still provide some benefit. If blueberries are more your thing, another study found that eating the fruit lowered a certain matter, which makes it hard to lose weight, and reduced fat in fat rats.
Even though their sweetness makes them feel like a treat, berries are low-calorie. Put some into your milk, blend them in an icy drink, or have a cup on the side with your eggs. Even better: Add them to this breakfast that helps you burn calories all day. When they're not in season, ignore the overpriced ones in beautiful packs and stick to frozen ones—they're just as nutritious(营养的). No matter how you eat them, they'll keep you full and help you drop extra fat.
1.Why does the fibre of berries keep you full
A.It is rich in nutrition. B.It is digested slowly.
C.It is broken down easily. D.It makes breakfast healthy.
2.What's the main benefit of a breakfast with berries
A.It is delicious to eat. B.It keeps you energetic.
C.It keeps your body shape. D.It keeps you interested in food.
3.What does the underlined word "blend" in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Remove. B.Cool. C.Mix. D.Store.
4.What does the author suggest doing when berries are not in season
A.Having frozen ones. B.Drinking berry juice.
C.Buying expensive ones. D.Eating other fruit instead.
四、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mike licked(舔) the last of the chocolate ice cream. It was almost time to leave. He jumped into the car with his parents and headed off to the Olympic-sized pool for the big swim meet. When his race came up, Mike was confident. He was strong and swift. Mike climbed out of the pool, smiling. He had just won first place.
A week later, it was time for another swim meet. Like before, Mike decided to enjoy his favorite flavored ice cream before they left home. As Mike climbed out of the pool, his teammates patted(拍) him on the back. He'd taken first place again in his race.
As it turned out, Mike decided to have some chocolate ice cream before every one of the next few swim meets that came up. He began to think of it as his lucky charm. After several months of being placed in the top positions of every race he swam, Mike was feeling unbeatable. And he wouldn't admit it, but he was also starting to feel a little uncomfortable. All that ice cream was adding a few pounds to his athletic swimmer's build.
It didn't take long after that for Mike to start coming in second place...and then third place and then last place in his races. The lucky chocolate ice cream had lost its magic. On the day of his next swim meet, his mother sat down at the table with him. "Mike, I think we need to talk about this. We all love ice cream, but it's got lots of fat and sugar in it, and it's not healthy for your body to take in so much of it." Mike unwillingly agreed. His father offered to go running with him a few days a week to help enhance his muscles. The extra weight soon disappeared, and Mike found himself breathing more easily during the swim.
It was the last meet of the season, and Mike wasn't sure what to expect. He felt healthy again, but he didn't know if he still had the excellent speed in the pool.

答案:
Paragraph 1:
As he dived into the water, he kicked his legs and stretched his arms as far as he could. Whenever he came up for a breath, he could see he was gaining on the boy ahead of him in the next lane. Feeling determined to overtake him, Mike found the power in his muscles he needed to swim ahead, and as his hand touched the edge of the pool, the race was over. He lifted his swim glasses off his head and looked at the electronic board. He knew he wasn't the last, but what was his time
Paragraph 2:
His jaw(下巴) dropped as he realized he had beaten his own best time, and everyone else's too. Mike had won his race, and he had also qualified for the national championship. The audience and his teammates cheered loudly, and his parents were laughing from ear to ear. "Hey son, let's go and have some of your favorite ice cream and celebrate!" said his father. "Thanks, Dad, but I'll pass on the ice cream; it's not such a lucky charm after all!"
