D
Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies.
B. breakfast has much to do with people’s health.

BIG!
我刚来美国时,在肿瘤研究所研制一种肿瘤疫苗,已在病人身上试用了,我自认为我的实验技术是很好的。所以有一次我的老板对我说:"The experiment's very big."我随口答道:"No,It's very small for me."老板用奇怪的眼光看着我说:"The vaccine have been tested by patient."(疫苗已给病人试用了)
[回家查辞典,开开big在这里是什么意思]
我突然感到不好意思,赶快回去问美国技术员,他们告诉我这是很重要的意思(important),老板只是告诉我要仔细,我却误会了。
我再去查了字典才知道,这个简单的小字在美国俚语中用法很多,如:big men(重要人物)、make big(飞黄腾达)、go over big(走红)等。
Have a turkey on one's back
感恩节在美国朋友Bob家聚会。Bob 夫妇每年都会邀请亲朋好友去他们家,大家互相都很熟了,要是谁没来,大家都会问为什么。有个朋友Audun能吃能喝说,大家都很喜欢他。可是这次Audun 迟迟未到,我建议是否打个电话过去催一催。 Bob说不必了,"He's got turkey on his back."
我一听纳闷了。Bob不是已经在烤turkey了吗?Audun为何还要再背只turkey来呢?
[让学生回家查辞典,探究答案]
原来Bob已打过电话,知道Audun那天已喝多了点,恐怕来不及了。Have a turkey on one's back是喝醉酒或吸毒成瘾的意思。当然我们都知道Audun只是贪杯而已,他可不会去吸毒的。
You Have Matches?
一次, 我有机会上豪华游轮观光,自酒吧台拿两杯鸡尾酒想回房间享受,途中遇到一位女士,她看看我后笑着说:"You have matches?"我一愣,答复她说:"很抱歉,我15年前就戒烟了,我没有火柴。"她立该会意到我误解了她的意思,好像是有点抱歉地说:"It's a joke."双方就相互尴尬一笑分开了。
[让学生先自己查找答案]
事后在晚餐桌上聊天,趁机问一位美国朋友,他解释说:"因为她看你两手都忙,就故意开玩笑跟你要火柴,是个非常普通的笑话,不但没有恶意,还有问你需不需要帮忙的意思。
