Almost everyone , however, recognizes that people should take in about as many calories as they use up. A calorie is not a substance but a measure of heat. In the context of eating , calories tell how much energy the body can get by burning up a certain food item. Balancing the calories in food with the body's energy needs is the central goal of any long-term diet program. B It should be clear that calories in food are not a bad thing. In fact , we would die without them. Archaeologists suspect that many healthy civilizations either died or relocated because they could no longer get enough calories from their food. The Anasazi of the American southwest , for example , probably suffered a huge loss in their calorie intake , and their health , when deforestation slowly removed deer and pine nuts from their diet. Our appetite for food , a problem for many modern humans, is a natural drive for survival. In fact , some of the most irresistible foods- those high in fat or sugar-have a special hold on humans because ancient impulses tell us to consume them.

other physical activities of a low-tech civilization used up a lot of calories.Modern life is far less active.Even a moderately active person in a wealthy society today has to deliberately exercise to even come close to such a level of activity. E So how many calories does an average person need?That question cannot be answered. There is no average person.Calorie needs vary because each person processes food in a slightly different way,depending on body chemistry.And calorie needs are greatly influenced by height,weight,age,and other factors.Still some estimates can be made if we put certain numbers into a long formula from the U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA). Let's assume two healthy,moderately active young people,each 20 years old.The man is 6 feet tall and weighs 160 pounds.The woman is 5 feet,6 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds. According to the USDA formula,the man would need to take in about 2,750 calories each day.The woman should take in about 2,002 calories each day. Complete the following statements by choosing the best from the answers A,B,C,or D.Write A,B,C or D on your Answer Sheet. 1.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the reading as a whole? A.A healthy diet should balance the number of calories the body takes in with the number it uses. B.Early humans had a healthier way of living than.modern people do. C.Modern humans are healthier than their ancient ancestors. D.People do not agree about which foods should be part of healthy eating. 2.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of Paragraph B? A.The Anasazi civilization lost two important sources of calories. B.Humans cannot survive unless they take in enough calories. C.Civilizations have died because they depended on fats and sugars. D.Humans naturally seek high-calorie foods. 3.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of Paragraph C? A.Some of the body's survival techniques do not fit in with modern society. B.The human body cannot evolve in ways that keep it healthy. C.The human body has stopped evolving but societies continue to evolve. D.The food-supply system in modern societies is better than that in earlier societies. 1695

C.Men need to take in more calories each day than women need to take in. D.The USDA has a formula for figuring out how many calories a person should take in every day. BRead the passage.Then answer the questions that follow.(3 points each) Sharing the Water Every community of humans faces a life-or-death question:How do we distribute water?Some water has to be held'as a community resource if a town,city,or even nation is to survive.Many early human settlements were based on irrigation systems.These exist because earlier people agreed where the water should flow and to whom.Wells in desert lands are protected by cultural traditions that make them a shared resource among traveling peoples.Many large lakes,such as Lake Michigan in the United States,are mostly reserved for public use,not for the people who own houses on their shores. Water-use laws can prevent a few powerful people from gaining control over all available water.But water laws do not make water freely available in equal amounts to everyone. Farmers need huge amounts of it.So do many industries.Families,however,do not need nearly that much.There is also the issue of pollution.Water laws must prevent careless (or intentional)pollution by some users before the water reaches all users.
