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 (脂肪).” Even if intermittent fasting is the healthiest way to eat, it may not be a good idea 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。 11. What does scientists advise us to think about in Paragraph 1? A. The food for lunch. B. The right time to eat. C. The healthiest way to eat. D. The importance of breakfast. 12. What are the advantages (优点) of intermittent fasting? ①Clearing broken proteins. ②Allowing the stomach to rest. ③Helping us sleep well at night. ④Keeping us safe from some illnesses. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 13. What does the underlined word “regularly” probably mean? A. 健康地 B. 持续地 C. 广泛地 D. 有规律地 14. What can we know from the passage? A. All of us can try intermittent fasting if we want. B. Eating most of our food earlier can help lower our fat. C. All the experts think having one meal a day is the best way to eat. D. Intermittent fasting means we should stop eating fruit for many hours. 15. In which unit of the textbook can you read the passage? A. Unit 1 Science World B. 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 out the rubbish. And some kids get money or other rewards (奖励) by doing chores. ____16____ But some people do not think that kids should get rewards by doing chores. Susie Walton, an expert, believes that by rewarding kids, parents show that work isn’t important unless you can get something.

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? ____20____ The last day for the reply is April 10th.
