Part 2. Read the passage carefully and choose the best option. (1 point)
Scientists have discovered that fructose, a naturally occurring sugar, is a major driver of
obesity. Fructose is also known as "fruit sugar". It occurs to varying degrees in fruit and
vegetables. It is also used in processed form in high fructose com syrup, which is in a lot of
the food we eat, and promotes obesity. A study led by Dr Richard Johnson at the University
of Colorado found that although fructose isn't the biggest source of calorific intake, it
stimulates an urge to eat fattier food. Researchers posited a shift of focus on what we eat.
They wrote: "All hypotheses recognize the importance of reducing 'junk' foods; however, it
remains unclear whether the focus should be on reducing fructose intake."
Researchers found that the process of our body converting fructose into energy causes a drop
in the levels of a compound called ATP. When ATP falls, our body tells us to eat more. They
call this process the fructose survival hypothesis. Johnson said: "Fructose is what triggers
our metabolism to go into low power mode and lose our control of appetite, but fatty foods
become the major source of calories that drive weight gain." Scientists have attributed the
consumption of high amounts of fructose to health issues. The most common of these is non-
alcoholic fatty liver disease.

A. intake B. obesity C. food D. fructose
33. What directly leads to reducing the levels of ATP in our body?
A. Converting fructose into energy
B. Eating much food with fructose
C. Eating fruits and vegetables
D. Dropping the amount of fructose
34. What is the result of reducing the levels of ATP in our body?
A. We stop eating B. We are full C. We want to eat more D. We lose weight
