　　据美国媒体报道，长久以来，我们一直听说早餐是一天中最重要的一餐。更重要的是，早餐不仅能让你充满干劲，提高记忆力，还能影响你的寿命。研究表明，一些食物可以帮助人类延缓衰老。接下来就为大家介绍六种神奇的抗衰老食物，或许会让你想在早上第一时间享用它们。

　　1. Blueberries

　　1.蓝莓

　　Although tiny, blueberries pack a huge anti-aging health punch. Rich in polyphenols, research suggests that a blueberry-rich diet not only improves your motor skills, but also can help fight diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

　　尽管果实小，蓝莓却有强大的抗衰老功能。研究表明，蓝莓富含多酚，食用蓝莓不仅能发展运动技能，还有助于对抗癌症、心脏病和糖尿病。

　　Indeed one recent study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association showed that women who ate the most blueberries -- as well as their superfood cousin, strawberries -- enjoyed a 32 percent lower heart attack risk than women who only ate these berries once a month (or not at all).

　　近日发表在美国心脏学会期刊《循环》(Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association)上的一项研究指出，大量食用蓝莓和草莓的女性，比每月只吃一次或不吃的女性，患心脏病的几率要少32%。

　　2. Oatmeal

　　2.燕麦片

　　For years, research has shown a strong correlation between oatmeal and cholesterol reduction. Oatmeal is rich in soluble fiber that gets rid of "bad" cholesterol. Oats also are packed with the antioxidants that do battle against cell damage. And that can help plump skin and reduce wrinkles.

　　多年来，研究表明燕麦片与降低胆固醇密切相关。燕麦片富含可溶性纤维，有助于降低胆固醇。燕麦含抗氧化剂，能对抗细胞损伤，令肌肤丰盈，减少皱纹。

　　3. Eggs

　　3.鸡蛋

　　Eggs usually come under fire because of their high cholesterol content. But studies show that healthy men and women who consume an egg a day actually do not experience negative health repercussions. In addition, eggs contain all the essential B vitamins: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, choline, biotin, and folic acid. Choline has been shown to protect your memory, while two proteins in eggs -- lutein and zeaxanthin -- protect against vision loss.

　　鸡蛋通常因高胆固醇含量而遭受批评。但研究表明，身体状况良好的男女每天吃一个鸡蛋，实际上不会对健康产生消极影响。另外，鸡蛋含所有人类需要的维生素B： B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12，胆碱，生物素，叶酸。胆碱已被证实能提高记忆力，而鸡蛋里的两种蛋白质——叶黄素和玉米黄质，有助于保护视力。

　　4. Tea

　　4.茶

　　Many teas are high in anti-aging antioxidants. But green tea is rich in an antioxidant known as EGCG, which helps fight wrinkles and rejuvenate skin cells. Green tea also may protect against cancer, control blood sugar levels, and help reduce inflammation associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

　　许多茶类含有抗衰老的抗氧化剂。绿茶富含一种EGCG抗氧化剂，有助于对抗皱纹和激活皮肤细胞。同时，绿茶能预防癌症，控制血糖，减少与节段性肠炎和溃疡性结肠炎相关的炎症。

　　5. Pomegranate Juice

　　5.石榴汁

　　If tea's not your thing, try pomegranate juice instead. Studies show that a glass of pomegranate juice a day could help keep wrinkles at bay. Not only has pomegranate been shown to slow down the natural oxidation ("wear and tear") of DNA, it also has been linked to the prevention of heart disease and stress relief.

　　如果你不喜欢茶叶，那么试试石榴汁吧!研究表明，每天一杯石榴汁能助你对抗皱纹。石榴不仅延缓DNA的自然氧化(消耗)，还能预防心脏病和缓解压力。

　　6. Grapefruit

　　6.葡萄柚

　　In addition to helping you feel full, which in turn may assist with weight loss, grapefruit also can help lower "bad" cholesterol and triglyceride levels while also boosting “good” HDL cholesterol. Deep red varieties are best as studies show they can also help keep heart disease at bay.

　　葡萄柚能让你产生饱胀感，因此也有助于减轻体重。葡萄柚能减少体内不利于健康的胆固醇和甘油三酯，同时增加有利于健康的HDL胆固醇。研究表明，深红的葡萄柚预防心脏病的效果最好。

　　One caveat: Grapefruit can prove hazardous when combined with certain prescription medicines.

　　小贴士：葡萄柚不能与一些处方药一起食用。

　　第一，模拟

　　模拟是最好的提供口语能力的方法之一，通过多模拟电影、电视或以英语为母语的人的语音和语调来提高自己的口语能力。

　　第二，朗读

　　要想提高口语能力，一定要大声的把英文读出来，而且要带有意识的去模拟母语朗读也可以说是第二模拟，所以也需要有意识地以磁带里的语音、语调去朗读。在朗读时，可以把自己的声音录下来，认真听一听，并进行比较，找出差距，发现自己的弱点。

    第三，复述

　　复述是在模拟、朗读之后的一个再创作的过程，它比背诵要难。可以尽量用自己的话复述朗读、听过的或阅读过的，也可以完全摆脱原文，组织、创作材料内容。对于程度较差的人，可以先复述原文的中心思想，一句、两句话即可。然后，由少至多。复述是在没有人对话的情况下提高口语最有效的途径之一。

　　第四，背诵

　　练习口语不免背诵一些东西，但很多人不喜欢背诵。不过，背诵一些名篇偶是非常有必要的 .基础较差的人一定要背诵一些常用的句型和表达方式。

第五，坚持用英语写日记。用英语写日记无论是对提高口语还是提高英语其他方面的能力都是一个行之有效的好方法。
