believe that a person should eat until they’re full while others believe that the body
needs less food than what it wants. Some experts say that the best way to keep your
body healthy is to have regular meals and snacks throughout the day.
c The main rules of healthy eating are deciding what to eat and what not to eat. The guidelines
that you should follow are making sure that every meal has a variety of nutrients like
protein, carbs, and vitamins.
 D There are many benefits of healthy eating. The most significant of these is that it stops you
from gaining weight and prevents lots of diseases. In addition to these benefits, a diet
based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes (beans), and lean proteins can lower
the risk for type 2 diabetes by 23 percent.
E There are many rules of healthy eating, and some of them might seem difficult. However, if
you keep these guidelines in mind and watch your portions, you should be able to eat
healthy without feeling too restricted.
III. Read the passage and do the following tasks.
It's important for people to eat as much as they need to give them energy. If they eat too
little food or the wrong food they won't have enough energy. If they eat too much, they will
need to make more exercise; otherwise they will put on weight. When we eat the correct
quantity of food for the exercise we take, we call this the energy balance.
Fat is very high in calories, and so is no help at all in keeping energy balance. Fat has also
been linked with heart disease, and many experts believe that eating ess would help to reduce
it.
Sugar isn't good for the energy balance either. The only value of the diet is to provide
energy, and you can get that from other foods. There's no doubt that too much sugar makes
you fat and it doesn't do your teeth much good either.
Fibre, on the other hand is something that we eat too little of. One of the simplest ways of
eating more fibre is to eat more bread, particularly whole meal, granary, or high fibre bread.
It's a good, cheap source of fibre and nutrients without too many calories. Potatoes are good,
too. Like bread, they are underrated, but they're excellent for filling you up without making
you fat, especially if you don't cover them with butter or fry them in fat.
So eat less fatty food (sweets, chocolate, cakes pudding, jam) and eat more fibre foods
(bread, potatoes, pasta, fresh fruit and vegetables).

A. Decide if the sentences are true (T) or false (F).

1. People won’t need to make exercise if they eat too much.
2. When people eat too much they put on weight.
3. Eating less fat would cause heart attacks.
4. Sugar provides energy, but it causes obesity.
5. Fibre foods are good for the energy balance.
B. Complete these sentences.
1. People eat a variety of foods so as to _________ .
2. People mustn't eat the wrong food so as not to _________ .

1. will be fat (paragraph 1) _______________________
2. decrease and diminish (paragraph 2) _______________________

Blood donation: The most valued service to mankind
 Millions of people owe their lives to people whom they will never know or meet in their
lifetime. They are none other than those people, who have donated their blood freely and
without any reward - voluntary blood donors. Voluntary unpaid donors are the foundation of
a safe blood supply which saves millions of human beings from the death.
Nothing is comparable to the preciousness of human blood. In spite of the rapid and
remarkable conquests of medical science today, there is no laboratory that manufactures
blood. Blood is required for treatment of accidental injuries, burns, and also in various types
of surgical operations. Unavailability of blood may cost lives. Therefore, importance of blood
donation is tremendous. This is the greatest gift one can give to the humans. Voluntary blood
donors are saviors of mankind.
Blood donation is harmless and safe in the body. Rather, it is a social responsibility. The
donor is donating for it as it will be used in saving lives of his fellow beings. He himself may
use the same during his own need. So, today's donor may be tomorrow's recipient.
True (T) or False (F)?
1. Blood donation can save millions of human beings from the death.
2. A lot of laboratories manufacture blood.
3. No available blood may cost lives.
4. Blood donation is harmful to everybody.
5. You give your blood today, you may receive it tomorrow.

You can’t buy a drawing by Julian Beever and you can’t see his work in a gallery or

Julian has made hundreds of pieces of “pavement art” in different countries - in many

take three or four days to finish. But because he draws with chalk, the drawings only stay for a
short time. When people walk on them or when it rains, they quickly disappear. For Julian, this
isn’t a problem. The drawings survive in the photos he has taken, and this is the most important
thing for him.
Julian’s fame hasn’t come from experts in the art world, but from the Internet. “The reason
why my work has become well known is because people like it and they’ve sent it to each other
on the Internet,” he says. “So I know that what I do is popular.”

What's Rap music?
Rap music is a style of popular music, developed by disc jockeys and urban blacks in the
late 1970s. It is a musical form of vocal delivery that incorporates "rhyme, rhythmic speech,
and street vernacular", which is performed or chanted in a variety of ways, usually over a
backbeat or musical accompaniment. The components of rap include: The content (the
message, what is being said), The flow (rhythm, rhyme), The delivery (cadence, tone).
Rap differs from spoken-word poetry in that rap is usually performed in time to an
instrumental track. Rap is often associated with and is a primary ingredient of hip-hop music,

II. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different
times. Music may seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react
differently to the music. We are able to apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If
someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect will probably not make him feel
good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not the music itself
that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does
not want to accept the song's happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes
that anger come to the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our
body, mind, and feelings are being affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China,
India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient
Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the musicians of these
ancient cultures understood these effects, they created music that was positive, uplifting, and
beneficial. Once the effects of music are better understood, the next step is to gain a better
understanding of the music around US, and what effect it is actually having.

FAST FOOD FACTS
There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the United State. Why is fast food so
popular? Because it's convenient, predictable and fast. Fast food has become a part of the busy
American lifestyle. But nutrition experts point out, fast food is often high in calories, sodium,

women need about 2,000 calories per day. It is not well understood why some people can eat
much more than others and still maintain a desirable weight. However, one thing is certain-to
lose weight, you must take in fewer calories than you burn. This means that you must either
choose foods with fewer calories, or you must increase your physical activity, preferably both.
Most Americans get more than 40 percent of their daily calories from fat, the American Heart
Association recommends limiting fat to less than 50 - 80 grams per day. See an example on
how easily these red-flag items can add up.

result many chains are adding healthier choices to their menus.

My favorite movie is “Sherlock Holmes”. This is a movie I watched recently in cinema.

handsome, younger man, just like Holmes. In the film, he is trying to prove that magic doesn’t
exist and that all that happened wasn’t because of a bad magician, and he did it. The whole
movie is exciting and I didn’t want it to end. I really liked the movie and I could watch again
and again... I think that’s what makes a great movie, when it’s every time thrilling as the first
time you saw it.
