Accrding t a recent study, cnsuming three largely cmparable meals each day t meet ur energy demands may be the mst effective methd t prevent cgnitive (认知的) deteriratin. The study finds a link between skipping breakfast and a gradual failure in cgnitive health. The study als reveals that eating mre calries at ne meal than anther is nt linked t a quick failure in cgnitive functin, but it des nt imprve cgnitin as much as eating balanced three meals daily.
With previus study fcusing n hw the quality f the fd we cnsume can affect ur health, there hasn’t been much research n hw ur daily energy intake is distributed and hw it can affect ur cgnitive health ver the lng term, as well as if it might affect ur risk f dementia (痴呆).
A recent study, in which the data frm the 1997 — 2006 China Health and Nutritin Survey were analyzed, examines the pssible impact f varius meal schedules n cgnitive decline in rder t better understand this.

Each participant underwent a dietary evaluatin as well as a phne-based cgnitive exam at the beginning f the study perid. This test evaluated each persn’s ability t recall wrds quickly and slwly, cunt backward, and subtract (减) quickly frm given numbers.
The findings demnstrate that, in cmparisn t either less balanced ways f absrbing ne’s ttal calric intake r less equally distributed ways f ingesting ne’s ttal energy intake, eating three balanced meals each day is related with superir cgnitive functin.

A．By ding experiments.
B．By analyzing previus data.
C．By interviewing senir peple.
D．By examining peple with cgnitive disease.
31．Which f the fllwing may cntribute t best cgnitin?

Tw sets f waves meet at a crssrads, creating cl wave patterns.”
Accrding t the media, astrnmy, tpgraphy, and wind directins are the main factrs that prduce the “fish scale tide”. 36． S des the shape f the estuary — very narrw at the river muth, but then very wide where it meets the sea.
Whatever the exact necessary cnditins fr the ccurrence f the “fish scale tide” may be, ne thing is fr sure-it rarely happens.
A．The phenmenn is knwn as the ”fish scale tide".
B．Instead, a rtating current can change its directin during a tidal cycle withut changing its speed.
C．Peple always get endangered there.
D．Apparently, the mn and the sun play a big part in the phenmenn.
E．Besides, the weather cnditins are f great imprtance.
