Will it matter if you don't take your 1 ?A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different2, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got 3 breakfast at all. Scientists wanted 14 how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work 5 than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk 6 going to school, he 7 more quickly and listen 8 in class.
The result is opposite to 9 some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight(减肥). This is because people become so 10 at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight(增肥) instead of losing it.
Frederick was ill and went to the hospital. A doctor looked him over and said, "Well, Mr Green, you're going to get some injections(针), and you'll feel much better. A nurse will come and give you the first this evening, and you'll have to get another one tomorrow evening.'' In the evening a young nurse came to Frederick's bed and said to him. "I'm going to give you your first injection now, Mr Green. Where do you want it?"
The old man was surprised. He looked at the nurse for a while, then he said, "Nobody has ever let me choose that before. Are you really going to let me choose now?"
"Yes, Mr Green," the nurse answered. She was in a hurry, "Where do you want it?"
"Well, then,'' the old man answered with a smile, "l want it in your left arm, please."

Several Asian hospitals are doing experiments with tele-medicine. Tele-medicine is a technology that allows doctors to "see" patients without them being in the same place. This is made possible through high-speed communication networks(网络). At both ends of the line, the way of video-meeting lets them see and talk to each other. Blood pressure (血压) and body temperature are directly shown on computers.
Tele-medicine is already in wide use in some places such as the United States and Germany. Among other uses, village doctors hold "consultations (会诊)"with far-away experts(专家). The experts can also help them during operations.
Tele-medicine has been slow to reach Asia because of high costs besides other reasons. When things improve, this technology will develop very fast. Chinese University of Hong Kong's medical school has joined a big hospital in Beijing, and Thailand is building a tele-medicine station connecting 20 areas.
Tele-medicine will do good to patients because doctors from different places can see them and give their medical advice. The help is quite important if the disease is an unusual one. It also helps spread medical knowledge among experts.
As tele-medicine develops well, its costs will be lower and it will become very popular in the medical field.
