　　(2011·淮南市检测)

　　Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day，we have all been told，and told again，is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.

　　But for many people the thought of food first in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts，they still take no breakfast.During the past ten years the number of people who didn’t have breakfast，have increased by 33 percent.

　　For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast，however，there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that，for adults especially，there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance，”said Arrold E．Bender，former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London，“nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”

　　Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly not enough，and most of the recent works are about adults，not children，“The literature”，says one researcher，Dr Erresto at the University of Texas，“is poor”．

　　1．For those who do not take breakfast，the good news is that________.

　　A．several studies have been done in the past few years

　　2．“...nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means________.

　　A．anyone without breakfast does improve his performance

　　B．not giving people breakfast improve performance

　　C．having breakfast does not improve performance，either

　　D．people having breakfast do improve their performance

　　3．The underlined word “literature” in the last sentence refers to________.

　　A．poems，plays，etc.

　　C．the famous works in history

　　D．the modern stories of America

　　4．What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that________.

　　A．breakfast does not affect performance
