Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn’t take much further thought to know that adults will feel better and do better at work as well. Whether you work at home, on the farm, at the office, at school, or on the road, it is not a good idea to have no breakfast.
If we have no breakfast, we are likely to become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel (食物). By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or eat a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Having no breakfast is a popular way to lose weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they have no meals, but that just isn’t true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for losing weight. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to keep a healthy weight.
A healthy breakfast should have some protein (蛋白质) and some fiber (纤维). Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, or beans. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk. Stay away from sugary foods and white bread because they are digested (消化) quickly and will leave you hungry and tired in several hours. Protein and fiber will keep you feeling full until lunch time.

We’ve found the simplest, most powerful steps you can take---without adding more jobs to your to-do list or expenses to your monthly budget---to protect your heart naturally.

It can be as simple as laughing at a bad situation rather than getting angry. It means going for walks after dinner, not watching game shows. It means giving an apple for dessert rather than apple pie, or spending 15 minutes sipping a cup of home-made cocoa curled up on the sofa with your family instead of watching the 11 o’clock news with a bag of chips. It’s doing a 5-minutes-a-day strength-training program while the coffee boils in the morning or taking a 3-second silent pause when the “you’ve got mail” alert sounds on your computer.

Here is the plan that lets you take them all on and win.

1. Focus on Small Changes for Big Results

Fast, simple diet can cut cholesterol (胆固醇) by 30 percent. A 5-minutes-a-day weight-training program can replace 10 years’ worth of lost muscle tissue.

2. Eat Fresh Foods

Fresh, whole foods don’t have to cost more or take more time to prepare than the packaged stuff. These wholesome, delicious foods --- fresh fruits and veggies, grains, fish, meats, dairy products, and even soy---not only taste good, they also protect your heart by greatly reducing blood fats, driving down raised blood sugar, fighting destructive free radicals（自由基）.

3. Find Joy

Accumulated researches link impatience and complaints with poor heart health; in contrast, forgiveness, friends, and optimism are linked with healthier hearts. Do you have a heart- threatening personality type? Find out and learn how to live a more joyful life.

64. As is suggested in the passage, you will keep a healthy heart if you ___________.

A. often dine out with friends in restaurants

B. overlook unimportant bad happenings

C. watch late evening news eating a bag of chips
