题目内容:
Americans began their days by eating whatever was most easily available(可得到的) since the earliest days of the United States. These foods often included bread, eggs or leftovers(剩饭).
Today, the feeling of being relaxed and comfortable without worries is still an important reason when it comes to breakfast. However, what people eat has changed over time. And some of today’s common breakfast foods, such as cereal (燕麦), are the result of advertising (广告).
“People created advertising to sell cereal,” says the writer of the book Breakfast: A History. In it, Arndt Anderson adds, “One of the first ways that advertising was successfully used was to make mothers believe that it was OK for their children to eat these kinds of food. _____ also played an important role in orange juice becoming a morning drink. In 1916, farmers grew more oranges than usual, so advertisers began saying, “Drink an orange.” They wanted to make people believe that drinking orange juice was a healthy way to start the day.
As for coffee, it became so popular that some people carried coffee beans with them everywhere in the 1930s.
Researchers think people make cookies because they are much quicker to prepare than bread in the morning. Cooks then have to make fresh bread for dinner.
