A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” His father answered, “When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple causes oxidation. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.”The boy asked,“Dad,what are you talking about?”

I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.

The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.

Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.

Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”

So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.

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 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 number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%—from 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 grown-ups especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting (省略) 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.”

Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly little, and most of the recent work involves children, not grown-ups. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr Earnest Polite 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

B. eating little in the morning is good for health

C. the omission of breakfast has little effect on one’s work

D. grown-ups have especially made studies in this field

2. The sentence in paragraph 3 “nor does giving people breakfast improve work” means _______.

A. people without breakfast can improve their work

B. having breakfast does not improve work, either

C. not giving people breakfast improves work

D. people having breakfast do improve their work, too

3. The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to _______.

A. stories, poems, play, etc

B. the films about the breakfast

C. newspaper articles or novels

D. written works on a topic

4. What is implied in the passage is that _______.

A. Breakfast does not affect work

B. Dr Polite works at Market Research Corporation

C. Not eating breakfast might affect the health of children

D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in Chicago

5. The main idea of the passage is that _______.

A. breakfast has nothing to do with people’s health

B. breakfast is not as important as we thought before

C. breakfast is not as important to us as gasoline to a car

D. a good breakfast used to be important to us
