Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’ s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought that food is the first thing you have, in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest years for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’ t have breakfast increased by 33 percent—from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain or guilt (内疚) about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does not affect performance." said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition (营养) at Queen Elizabeth College in London, "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance." Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, "is poor.\ The passage is mainly concerned with ______.

The Grange 15 Lamb’ s Mews London SW19IPF 19th JanuaryDear Ms Hawthorne, I am writing to express my disappointment with the evening my wife and I spent at your restaurant two nights ago. While the food was, as usual, very good, I regret to inform you that the service from our waiter, Max, was most unsatisfactory. First of all, when we arrived, we discovered our table overlooking the garden had been given away to some other customers. The new table we finally received was by the door and when I complained, Max just laughed. Furthermore, as we were sitting down, he was extremely familiar with my wife, which deeply made her uncomfortable. When our meal came, he served the food casually and at the end cleared the plates in a most rude fashion. Regarding the payment of service, I noticed your menu which says that the matter of rewarding service is at the willingness of the guest. In addition, I should point out that on other occasions I have left at least 12 percent. This time, I felt right in leaving nothing. I regret having to write this letter, but as a regular customer I am extremely displeased and did not expect to be treated in his manner. I look forward to hearing from you with a satisfactory reply, or if you prefer, we could meet in person to resolve this matter. Sincerely, Pupen Metcalf Why did Metcalf write this letterMetcalf wrote this letter to complain about ______ in this restaurant.
