Breakfast
Studies show that children who eat breakfast do better in school. It doesn't take much further thought to believe that adults will feel better and perform 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 skip (故意略去) breakfast.
If we don't eat breakfast, we are likely to become fired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel. By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee, or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again. This might work for a few minutes, but by lunchtime we are hungry, bad- tempered, and perhaps our mood might make us a little more likely to make unhealthy choices at lunch. Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
People who eat breakfast are generally more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals, but that isn't a good ideA. The body expects to be refueled a few times a day, so start with a healthy breakfast. A healthy breakfast should contain some protein (蛋白質 ) and some fiber (纖維 ). Protein can come from meat, eggs, beans, or soy (大豆). Fiber can be found in whole cereals (穀物), grains or in 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 soy milk.

Intelligent Machines
1. Medical scientists are already putting computer chips (晶片) directly into the brain to help people who have Parkinson's disease, but in what other ways might computer technology be able to help us? Ray Kurzweil is author of the successful book The Age of Intelligent Machines and is one of the world's best computer research scientists. He is researching the possibilities.
2. Kurzweil gets computers to recognize voices. An example of this is Ramona, the virtual (虛擬的) hostess of Kurzweil's homepage, who is programmed to understand what you say. Visitors to the site can have their conversations with her, and Ramona also dances and sings.
3. Kurzweil uses this technology to help people with physical disabilities. One of his ideas is a "seeing machine". This will be "like a friend that could describe what is going on in the visible world," he explains. Blind people will use a visual sensor (探測器 ) which will probably be built into a pair of sunglasses. This sensor will describe to the person everything it sees.
4. Another idea, which is likely to help deaf people, is the "listening machine" This invention will recognize millions of words and understand any speaker. The listening machine will be able to translate into other languages, so even people without hearing problems are likely to be interested in using it.
5. But it is not just about helping people with disabilities. Looking further into the future, Kurzweil sees a time when we will be able to download our entire consciousness onto a computer. This technology probably won't be ready for at least 50 years, but when it arrives, it means our mind will be able to live forever.
23. Paragraph 2
24. Paragraph 3

26. Paragraph 5
A.A new pair of ears

US States Do Poorly in Women's Health
Not a single US state meets basic federal goals for women's health, and the nation as a whole fails except in two areas -- mammograms ( 乳腺X光照片) and dental (牙齒的) check-ups -- researchers said on Thursday.
Millions of women lack health insurance, and states make it difficult to enroll (加入) in Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance plan for the poor, according to the report. And few states are doing anywhere near enough to help women quit smoking -- the leading cause of death in the United States.
"The nation as a whole and the individual states fall short of meeting national goals," reads the report, put together by the National Women's Law Center and the Oregon Health & Science University. "These health goals provide a road map for assessing the status of women's health. " Of 27 measures examined by the group, from screening for diseases to actually treating them, the nation passes on only two, the researchers saiD. "The nation is so far from the health goals that it receives an overall grade of 'unsatisfactory' ," they wrote. The problem seems to be a lack among states of an overall plan for health in general, the NWLC said.
