Q. test(B)Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told, and told again, is as necessary

48、 as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people, the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure. So in spite of all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could be obtained, the

49、number of people who didn t have breakfast increased by 33% form 8.8 million to 11.7 million according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that, for grow

50、n-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. Going without breakfast does not affect work, ” said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, nor does giving people breakfast improve work. ”Scien tific evide nee linking breakfast to

51、better health or better work is surpris in gly in adequate.

Aga inst their will, she and Daniel are forced to live on differe nt con ti nen ts.The reason is that Caroline is one of hundreds of Br

56、itish wives who are victims of a law which prevents their foreign husbands from joining them in this country. This law makes it almost impossible for a British woma n to marry a foreig nerunl ess she is prepared to live in her husba nd native country. But the law, which was intended to reduce the nu

57、mber of immigrants ing into the United Kingdom, does not apply to the British male who marries a foreign woman. He has the legal right to bring her to live with him in the country.“n the eyes of the law, wome n are sec on d-class citize ns, ” Caroli ne says, n this coun try, we have about as many ri
