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, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.
But for many people the thought, food being the first thing 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 year 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 of guilt 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 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 latest year for which figures could be obtained is______.
选项
A、the year the author wrote the article
B、1977
C、any year between 1977 and 1983
D、1983
答案
D
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问文章中获得数据的最近一年是哪年。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章的第二段中找到相关的信息。这段指出,但是,对于许多人来说,想到早上第一件事便是吃饭绝不是一件愉快的事。所以,尽管费尽周折,他们仍然不吃早饭。1977年至1983年为止的现有数字表明,不吃早饭的人增加了33%,根据总部设在芝加哥市的美国市场调查公司所提供的数字,从880万增加到了1 170万。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“1983年”。
