Reading
9 Read the texts. For questions 1-4, choose the correct option A, B or C.
A You Are What You Eat
Do you think about what goes into your food?
Choosing to eat and cook with natural
ingredients can have lots of health benefits.
Here are some of the reasons to choose
organic foods:
• Organic food is often criticised for being
more expensive to buy in shops, but it is
grown without harmful chemicals. Can a
price really be put on your health?
• As there are no poisonous chemicals
used on naturally-grown crops, organic
foods are better for the environment.
• There are more vitamins and minerals in
organic foods, so they're not only tastier
but healthier too.
So what are you waiting for? Your health is in
your hands!
C Extreme Eating
Almost everyone loves pizza, it's a food loved
by people around the world. But just how
much of it can you eat in one go? Three
slices? Maybe four? Joey Chestnut, a full-
time competitive eater, can eat a lot. At a
pizza eating competition in the United States,
he ate 37 slices of pizza. Not only that, he ate
them in 10 minutes! Joey doesn't stop at
pizza though. He enters competitions all over
North America to eat different types of food,
and he usually wins!
1 The purpose of text A is to
A promote organic food.
B discuss the best ways to cook organic food.
C warn readers against the cost of organic food.
2 William says that tomatoes
A have more sugar than other fruits.
B are scientifically, a vegetable.
C are a vegetable in the United States.

B From: William
To: Nathan
Subject: Fruit or Vegetable?
Hi Nathan,
Did you know that scientifically, tomatoes are actually a
fruit, even though they are usually sold as vegetables in
supermarkets? They have much less sugar than other fruit
so they are not as sweet and you can use them in lots of
different ways when cooking. Just to confuse things, in the
United States they're vegetables. In fact, this caused such
a problem that the decision had to go to the U.S. Supreme
Court. The decision was made by a judge who said that
because tomatoes are usually served with main courses
and not desserts, they are vegetables, not fruit. Some
people still aren't happy about this, but either way, they
are still very tasty!

D The Hidden Costs of Food
Do you know how your food is made? Knowing how food
is produced nowadays is very important because some
methods used by food producers are cruel to animals and
harmful to the environment. In Costa Rica for example, a
big problem is the destruction of the rainforest to make
way for banana plantations and animal ranches. Since the
1950s over 50% of the rainforest has been cut down. This
can lead to a loss of wildlife and dangers like flooding. So
next time you go food shopping, think about what effect
your choices are having on the planet and be a
responsible customer!
3 What is true about Joey Chestnut?
A He only enters pizza competitions.
B He wins most of his competitions.
C He's a part-time competitive eater.
4 Text D is mainly about
A how bananas are produced.
B being a responsible customer.
C effects on the environment by food producers.
