20、g overstimulated, and prefer more stimulating foods later to avoid feeling under-stimulated.Part of the answer is cultural. The modern workday means we have the least time for meals in the morning. If we find a breakfast rewarding and efficient, eating that same food for breakfast will become a habi
21、t we stick to.However, much of the answer still lies in psychology - not that we believe breakfast is not important but that people pursue different goals when eating breakfast and other meals.What goals are we pursuing in our meals? Two goals influence all kinds of decisions about what we eat hedon
22、ic (享乐的) and practical goals.

30、ut meeting someone, his image will change gradually and slightly as you meet and learn more about him. Therefore, in your additional readings, it is a good idea to compare your understanding each time with the understanding before.A helpful approach to further understanding a poem is to summarize it
31、 in your own words. Compare your version of understanding with those of others reading the same poem, and listen to how they form such opinions. Remember, however, that there is no exact or right meaning for a poem, as most poets have admitted they themselves are not exactly sure what they meant whe

Viewers can be fascinated, drawn into the mind or spirit of the artist. Thus, emotion is felt and inner voice heard.Art encourages self-expr
39、ession, which is often limited during active addiction Finding healthy new ways to express emotions and feelings is an important part of recovery. Art is an outlet for what cannot be spoken.

47、 individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture, and we learn to be closely connected with it.
