Read a text about calories. Circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer to each of
the questions.
CALORIES
A calorie, which is usually associated with food items, is a unit of energy or heat. Nearly every kind
of food and drink product contains some calories, and some may have more calories than others.
Calories are important as they contain energy for a human to survive, including breathing, moving
and pumping blood. Humans need to eat in order to get energy from the calories in their daily food
so they eat all types of foods with a wide variety of ingredients, vitamins, nutrients and other
substances that are helpful for the body.
Recently, people have paid more attention to the number of calories which is measured by how
much potential energy the food contains. For example, a gram of carbohydrates or a gram of protein
has 4 calories while a gram of fat has 9 calories. Therefore, a person can determine the amount of
energy based on finding the number of carbohydrates, fats and proteins that the food product
contains.
Each person also has a different number of calories needed although approximately 2000 calories
are suggested as the average number for most adults per day. The numbers of calories that people
need each day differ in their height, muscles, gender, age and activity level. If a person takes in
more calories than needed, that person will often become overweight. In contrast, if a person does
not get enough calories needed for his body, that one will usually lose weight. Hence, counting
calories is a good way to help people reach and maintain their weight and fitness goals, as it
involves tracking how much energy is going into the body a day.
36. Which of the following does the word associated in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. connected B. consumed C. needed D digested
37. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Calories are a unit of energy.
B. A gram of fat and a gram of protein have the same number of calories.
C. The number of calories needed for every person is different.
D. Taking more calories than needed can make a person gain weight.
38 How can people count calories of what they eat?
A. by looking for the suitable kind of food B. by finding out how to cook the food
C. by measuring the food weight D. by finding the ingredients of the food
39. Which of the following factors affects the number of calories people need?
A. how old they are B. how heavy they are
C. how much they know about nutrition D. how they achieve their fitness goals
40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Some types of food may have more calories than others.
B. The average number of calories most people need is about 2,000 per day.
C. Not all calories from foods are healthy.
