X. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.
We need to eat to meet our nutritional needs, but people often make their food choices for reasons
other than nutrition. The availability of foods and their cost, the taste and appearance of foods, personal
food likes and dislikes, convenience, religious and cultural practices and traditions, health and medical
conditions, etc. are reasons why people eat the foods that they eat.
The foods in people's diets around the world are very different from each other, but all good diets
must be composed of a variety of different foods that provide all of the food energy and other nutrients in
the amounts needed. For most people, a good meal will be based on a starchy food, sometimes referred to as
a “staple” food, as it forms the basis or main portion of the meal, and a variety of other foods (side dishes)
that provide the additional protein, vitamins and minerals needed for a good, healthy diet.
Staple foods are usually starchy carbohydrates such as rice, pasta, bread, couscous, maize (corn),
potatoes, and foods made from wheat, rice, rye, barley or oats. The other foods eaten with the meal should
include generous amounts of vegetables and fruits; good amounts of legumes; smaller amounts of meat,
poultry, eggs or fish and milk and milk products, such as cheese and yoghurt. The greater the variety of side
dishes served with the staple food, the greater the chance that all the needed nutrients are included in the
meal.
A. Find the word or phrase in bold in the passage that means:
1.

more than is necessary; large

XIII. Read the article and do the tasks.
HOW TO STAY HEALTHY
1. _________________
People who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables are less likely to have heart problems. A variety of fruit
and vegetables should make up about a third of the food you eat each day. You should eat at least five
portions of fruit and vegetables a day. A portion is e.g. a banana, an apple, a pear, one slice of melon or
pineapple or two plums. Remember that potatoes don't count because they're a starchy food.
2. _________________
Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. And people with high blood pressure are three
times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke than people with normal blood pressure. Lots of
people think they don't eat much salt, especially if they don't add it to their food. But don't be so sure!
Three-quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as breakfast cereals, soups,
sauces and ready meals. So you could easily be eating too much salt without realizing it.
3. _________________
Having too much saturated fat can cause heart disease. Try to cut down on food that is high in
saturated fat, such as meat, pies, cheese, butter, lard, cream and cakes, and have foods that are rich in
unsaturated fat instead, such as vegetable oils (including sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil), oily fish,
avocados, nuts and seeds.
4. _________________

Having sugary foods and drinks too often can cause tooth decay, especially if you have them between
meals. Many foods that contain added sugar can also be high in calories, so cutting down could help you
control your weight. Try to eat fewer foods with added sugar, such as sweets, cakes and biscuits, and drink
fewer sugary soft and fizzy drinks.
5. _________________
About 60% of your body weight is made of water. If you don't get enough water, you can become
dehydrated. Severe cases of dehydration can cause dizziness, confusion, and even seizures. Drink about 6 to
8 glasses of water every day and even more when the weather is warm. Don't drink too much coffee or tea
as they can dehydrate you.
A. Match the titles of the paragraphs.

B. Avoid saturated fat
