1 限时规范练1(必修1 Unit 1) 核心素养关键词: 一、阅读理解 A When things get wildly busy in the morning,some people don’t have breakfast in order to save time.But that may be a big mistake for students.Whether at home,on the way to school or at school,eating something healthy for breakfast may help a student get better grades. Researchers looked at 5,000 9-11 year-olds from more than 100 primary schools in the U.K.They looked at what the students ate for breakfast and then their grades 6 to 18 months later.They found that the students who ate a healthy breakfast were twice as likely to perform above average in educational activities.The researchers also found that unhealthy breakfasts—such as potato chips or a donut did not appear helpful to educational performance.In 2013,an organization in the United States,also looked at possible connections between breakfast and student success in school.They found that on average students who ate breakfast provided by their school attended 1.5 more days of school per year.These students also scored 17.5 percent higher on standardized math tests. Health experts suggest that the best breakfast is a mix of complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物),protein and fat.This gives your body the energy it needs to think clearly and to remember what it learns.Wholegrain(全麦的) bread is an example.The report explains that the brain needs glucose(葡萄糖) to work well.Simply eating a breakfast rich in carbohydrates may make a student tired.So,adding protein helps to prevent fatigue.Having a protein such as milk,yogurt,eggs or meat can help students to feel full longer.Oatmeal(燕麦粥),the researchers say,is an example of a breakfast that is rich in fiber and protein.It releases energy slowly because it is a wholegrain food.So,students will feel full longer. Health experts also suggest not eating too much for breakfast.This can also make a person feel tired and unable to think clearly.They say eating between 350 and 500 calories in the morning is a good amount of energy to start the day.

B I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1991,an incredible experience.I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre,the former Yankees star pitcher(投手) and Mets and Yankees coach.I was saddened when Mel died of complications of multiple myeloma on Jan.13 at age 77. He was warm,friendly and treated us as if we were major leaguers.He asked me whether I would like to pitch and proceeded to demonstrate how to throw a “two-seam”, a fastball that tends to sink,as well as a straight four-seam fastball.I knew pretty quickly that pitching was not for me.At age 45,my experience in organized baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx,and softball games as an adult.Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees.I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis with multiple myeloma,a blood cancer,in April 2000,and a stem cell transplant. In the summer of 2002,I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel. This devastated me,and frankly,I became quite depressed.I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel.One day,my phone rang.Mel was calling from the Yankee locker room.I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details.I hung on every word.He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number! “I feel great,and I’m not retiring,” he told me. This incredible experience lifted my spirits.Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant,I repeated to myself,“Look at Mel.If he can do it,so can I.” 4.Why did the author say he was lucky in Paragraph 1?
