PART II: READING
Passage 1:
Global Diet Choices
Most words in the English language have more than one simple, or basic, meaning. One
example is the word diet. The most general definition of the noun is ‘‘a person’s or a
group’s usual food choices and habits.’’ In a more specific definition, diet means ‘‘an
eating plan with only certain kinds or amounts of food. ’’For instance, a diet is often a plan
to lose weight. And as a verb, diet means to lose weight.’’ People can ‘‘go on a diet’’,
meaning they are starting a program to lose weight.
International Fast Food
All over the world, the global diet includes fast food—prepared items from inexpensive
restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of typical American fast food are
burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and fried chicken. Some common international fast foods
might be German sausage and schnitzel, Italian pizza and pasta, Mexican tacos and
burritos, Middle Eastern shish kebab and falafel, Japanese sushi and tempura, and Chinese
Egg rolls and noodles. Why is this kind of food becoming even more universal, or
worldwide? First, fast-food restaurants usually prepare and serve the items quickly.
Second, many fast-food restaurants are part of fast-food chains( eating places with the same
name and company owner).For instance, the biggest and most famous American fast-food
chain serves hamburgers in every continent except Antarctica. Its menu items may not be
exactly alike in all cultures, but its 25,000 restaurants all have the same look and style. The
atmosphere seems comfortable and familiar. Third, the items at fast-food places usually
cost less than meals in formal restaurants or special dishes made at home. And finally,
people usually enjoy the taste of the food, even if it is not very nutritious (healthy).

Passage 2:
Everywhere on earth there are “food specialists” with opposite (or different) opinions on
the best kind of nutrition for various purposes. A lot of people believe that the healthiest diets are
high in fiber, vitamins and minerals, but low in fat, cholesterol, sugar and salt. Some nutritionists
say the perfect eating plan contains mostly carbohydrates without much protein. In contrast, other
scientists say people need high protein meals with meat, chicken, fish or milk products and only
small amount of grains, potatoes, breads, rice and noodles .One famous diet plan allows only
certain foods at certain times -protein with protein carbohydrates with carbohydrates ,fruits alone
,and so on .Some eaters stay away from all meat and maybe even fish and milk products .They get
their protein from plants , mostly beans .Others want only high fiber food. These people may not
eat white bread or white rice or even cooked vegetables. So what is the best way to eat and be
healthy? The discussion of food facts will go on far into the future.

Passage 3:
The necessary substances and elements for human life and health are water, protein,
carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Most kinds of food contain some or all of the required
nutrients, but these substances have different effects on people. Various ingredients and dishes
affect the mind in different ways, and some kinds of nourishment have better effects on the brain
than others. For instance, can broccoli increase brain power? Maybe so. Low levels of some of the
B vitamins can cause a decrease in memory and thinking ability, nutritionists say, but dark green
vegetables, like broccoli, contain a lot of these nutrients. Another example of a "memory helper"
is lecithin-a substance from soybeans, also found in high-fiber foods like nuts and whole grains.
High-protein foods influence the mind in more helpful ways than dishes high in sugar and
carbohydrates. And the caffeine in coffee or tea may help thinking. Of course, its effects don't last
long.

Passage 5:
Laws are rules for people in communities. For instance, in every country and culture of the
world, there are laws against serious offenses: murder, robbery, violence against people, and the
like. These laws make sense. They are necessary for safety and health, for community order, and
for good human relationships in communities; they are probably similar all over the world. On the
other hand, many laws and rules differ from one community to another. Some common
illustrations of this variety are laws about driving, eating, smoking, shopping, money, people’s
rights, and many others. For instance, a legal action in Lima, Peru, may be against the law in Seoul,
Korea—and an illegal activity in Asian community may be perfectly legal in a European city. On
the other hand, laws may be the same in various countries but vary in different cities or states of
the same nation.

Passage 6:
In the United States, people might give directions in different ways according to their
region or community. In the countryside of the American Midwest, for example, there are not
usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are
no towns or buildings for miles. Instead of landmarks, residents of the flatlands will tell you
directions (like north, south, east, and west) and distances, like two miles. In the states of Kansas
or Iowa, for instance, people will say things such as “Take this road here .Go straight north for two
miles. Make a right turn, and then go another mile in a northeast direction. Keep to the left around
the curve. Then merge with Local Route 12”. In most cities however, people will name the streets,
number of the blocks, even the number of stoplights or stop signs. People in towns or cities might
say,” Go straight for five blocks. Turn left at Main Street. Go to the third stoplight and turn right.
That is Sixth Street. The post office is two blocks up in your left.

most places in the United States, it’s illegal to sell tobacco products to young people under the age
of 18. Smoking is no longer legal in public places-such as workplaces, restaurants, airports, and
on airline flights within the United States. In Japan and other countries, there is a legal age for
smoking; in some Muslim countries, all smoking is against religious law. On the other hand, many
people around the world smoke - including more and more teenagers and young people. Customs
