In order to get all of these, it is important to have a varied and balanced diet, and to eat the right amount of food. Your body burns food to energy : the amount of energy provided by food is measured in units called calories. How many calories do you need? This depends on your weight and on what you do. When you are asleep, your body uses nearly one calorie an hour for every kilogram of weight. So a person who weights seventy kilos uses about 560 calories while sleeping for eight hours. More calories are needed for different activities from 100 calories an hour for reading or watching TV, to 350 calories an hour for playing football. To calculate the number of calories needed per day for an average person, first find out the persons ideal weight. Then multiply the weight by 40 for a woman or 46 for a man. A 60 kilo woman may need about 2400 calories a day more if she does heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive. 1. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text? a.

And decades after he burst upon the scene as a gold medal winner at the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy, Muhammad Ali remains a magical figure, known and loved throughout the world. Ali brought new speed and grace to his sport, and his charm and wit changed forever what we expect a champion to be. His accomplishments in the ring were die stuff of legend: two fights with Sonny Liston, where he proclaimed himself "he Greatest" and proved he was; three ambitious wars with Joe Frazier the stunning victory over George Foreman in Zaire; and dethroning Leon Spinks to become heavyweight champion for the third time. But there was always far more to Muhammad Ali than what took place in a boxing ring. His early embrace of the Nation of Islam and his insistence on being called Muhammad Ali instead of his "slave name" Cassius Clay, introduced a new era in black pride. His refusal to be inducted into the United States army anticipated the growing antiwar movement of the 1960s. And his willingness to stage his fights in different countries such as Kinshasa, Zaire; Manila, Philippines; and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, signaled a shift away from super power dominances toward a growing awareness of the importance of the third world. Today, Ali is a deeply religious man who causes feeling of love and respect wherever he travels.
