C We know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we have lunch breaks at school. However, is this the healthiest way to eat? Should we eat three meals a day? Before thinking about how often we should eat, scientists advise us to think about when we should eat. For example, some people might overeat at night, which is not a good time to eat too much food Intermittent fasting(间歇性断食),which means stopping eating food for many hours, has become a popular topic of the research. It allows our stomach to rest. It helps our body to clear broken proteins(蛋白质), and protects us against many diseases. But if intermittent fasting is a healthy way to eat, how many meals should we eat every day? Some experts argue that it is best to have one meal a day. David Levitsky, professor at Cornell University, does this himself. Wouldn't one meal a day make us feel hungry? Not always, because hunger is often a feeling. Sometimes, we might think we are hungry, but in fact, we aren't. Another expert, Manoogan, doesn't agree with it. He says it can make our blood glucose (血糖) rise. To keep our blood glucose low, we need to eat regularly. "Two or three meals a day is the best. And we should eat most of our food earlier in the day. Then our bodies can use the energy from our food all day, instead of saving it as fat (防). Even if intermittent fasting is the healthiest way to eat, it may not be a good ide for everyone. If you want to try it, remember to check with your doctor first. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 )31. What does scientists advise us to think about in Paragraph 1? A. The food for lunch. B. The right time to eat C.

Unit 2 Healthy Eating C. Unit 3 School Activities D. Unit 4 Outdoor Sports D Many kids help their parents with chores, such as doing the dishes and taking ou the rubbish. And some kids get money or othet rewards(奖局) by doing chores. 36 But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents shows that work isn't important unless you can get something. She thinks that children should learn to help out because it's part of being a family. " 37 " Walton says. "A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities (责任) in the house.” 38 Besides, it also teaches them real world lessons about what they need to do to make money. If a child gets money by doing chores, they can also learn how to save or spend it wisely. There are also new apps now. 39 Kids can change ther into real life rewards either online or in the real world. "We hope kids can do more chores so they can get more rewards," one man says. In this way, kids can feel the happiness of hard work. What do you think? Should kids get rewards by doing chores? Or should kids help do chores without getting anything? ? 40 The last day for the reply is April 1oth.
