Researchers found that only people who were seated in the same row as a passenger with the flu, for exampleor one row in front of or behind that individual had a high risk of catc

15、hing the illness. All other passengers had only a very 28K chance of getting sick, according to the findings. Media reports have not necessarily presented 29A information about the risk of getting infected on an airplane in the past. Therefore, these new findings should help airplane passengers to f

19、 be vulnerable toSection BIs Breakfast Really the Most Important Meal of the Day早餐真的是一天中最重要的一餐吗A Along with old classics like “carrots give you night vision” and “Santa doesnt bring toys to misbehaving children”, one of the most well-worn phrases of tired parents everywhere is that breakfast is the

20、most important meal of the day. Many of us grow up believing that skipping breakfast is a serious mistake, even if only two thirds of adults in the UK eat breakfast regularly , according to the British Dietetic Association, and around three-quarters of Americans.A除了“胡萝卜给你夜视”和“圣诞老人不会给行为不端的孩子带来玩具”等古老的

21、经典名言外，各地疲惫的父母们最熟悉的一句话是早餐是一天中最重要的一餐。根据英国饮食协会(British Diettic Association)的数据，我们中的许多人从小到大都认为不吃早餐是一个严重的错误，即使只有三分之二的英国成年人经常吃早餐，而大约四分之三的美国人也是如此。#B “The body uses a lot of energy stores for growth and repair through the night,” explains diet specialist Sarah Elder. “Eating a balanced breakfast helps to up

22、 our energy, as well as make up for protein and calcium used throughout the night.” But theres widespread disagreement over whether breakfast should keep its top spot in the hierarchy( ip) of meals. There have been concerns around the sugar content of cereal and the food industrys involvement in pro

23、-breakfast researchand even one claim from an academic that breakfast is “dangerous”.B饮食专家莎拉埃尔德解释说：“人体整夜都要消耗大量的能量储备来生长和修复。”“吃一顿均衡的早餐有助于补充我们的能量，还能补充整晚消耗的蛋白质和钙。”但是，关于早餐是否应该保持其在餐饮等级(IP)中的首位，人们普遍存在分歧。人们对谷类食品的含糖量和食品业参与支持早餐的研究表示担忧，甚至有一位学者声称早餐是“危险的”。C Whats the reality Is breakfast a necessary start to the

24、 day or a marketing tactic by cereal companies The most researched aspect of breakfast (and breakfast-skipping) has been its links to obesity. Scientists have different theories as to why theres a relationship between the two. In one US study that analysed the health data of 50,000 people over seven

25、 years, researchers found that those who made breakfast the largest meal of the day were more likely to have a lower body mass index (BMI) than those who ate a large lunch or dinner. The researchers argued that breakfast helps reduce daily calorie intake and improve the quality of our dietsince brea

26、kfast foods are often higher in fibre and nutrients.C现实是什么早餐是一天的必要开始，还是谷类食品公司的一种营销策略研究最多的早餐(和不吃早餐)是它与肥胖的联系。对于为什么两者之间存在联系，科学家们有不同的理论。美国的一项研究分析了5万人七年来的健康数据，研究人员发现，那些把早餐作为一天中最丰盛的一餐的人比那些午餐或晚餐吃得多的人更有可能身体质量指数(BMI)更低。研究人员认为，早餐有助于减少每天的卡路里摄入量，并提高我们饮食的质量-因为早餐食物通常含有更高的纤维和营养素。D But as with any study of this kin

27、d, it was unclear if that was the causeor if breakfast-skippers were just more likely to be overweight to begin with. To find out, researchers designed a study in which 52 obese women took part in a 12-weck weight loss programme. All had the same number of calories over the day, but half had breakfa

28、st, while the other half did not. What they found was that it wasnt breakfast itself that caused the participants to lose weight: it was changing their normal routine.D但与任何这类研究一样，目前还不清楚这是不是原因，或者不吃早餐的人一开始就更有可能超重。为了找出答案，研究人员设计了一项研究，52名肥胖女性参加了一个12周的减肥计划。所有人在一天中摄入的卡路里都是相同的，但一半人吃早餐，而另一半人没有。他们发现，导致参与者减肥的不

29、是早餐本身，而是改变了他们的日常生活方式。E If breakfast alone isnt a guarantee of weight loss, why is there a link between obesity and breakfast- skipping U Alexandra Johnstone, professor of appetite research at the University of Aberdeen, argues that it may simply be because breakfast-skippers have been found to be le

30、ss knowledgeable about nutrition and health. “There are a lot of studies on the relationship between breakfast eating and possible health outcomes , but this may be because those who eat breakfast choose to habitually have health-enhancing behaviours such as regular exercise and not smoking,” she sa

31、ys.E如果单靠早餐不能保证减肥，为什么肥胖和早餐之间存在联系阿伯丁大学(University Of Aberdeen)食欲研究教授亚历山德拉约翰斯通(U Alexandra Johnstone)认为，这可能只是因为人们发现，不吃早餐的人对营养和健康的知识较少。她说：“有很多关于吃早餐和可能的健康结果之间关系的研究，但这可能是因为那些吃早餐的人选择习惯性地进行有益健康的行为，比如定期锻炼和不吸烟。”FA 2016 review of 10 studies looking into the relationship between breakfast and weight management concluded there is “limited evidence” supporting or refuting the argument that breakfast influences weight or food intake, and more evidence is required before breakfast recommendations can be used to help prevent obesity.F2016年，一项针对早餐与体重管理关系的10项研究的综述得出结论，支持或驳斥早餐影响体重或食物摄入量的观点
