Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his experiment to eat only
McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days.
Spurlock made himself a short list of rules for the experiment, including an obligation to eat all of the three
meals he ordereD. He also had to ‘Super Size’, which means accepting a giant portion every time the option
was offered to him. He ended up vomiting after the first Super Size meal he finished, after taking nearly twenty
minutes to consume it.
After five days Spurlock put on almost 5kg, and he soon found himself feeling depressed, with no energy.
The only thing that got rid of his headaches and made him feel better was another McDonald's meal, so his
doctors told him he was addicteD. More seriously, around day twenty, he started experiencing heart palpitations
and one of the doctors detected liver problems. However, in spite of his doctor's advice, Spurlock continued to
the end of the month and achieved a total weight gain of 11kg. His body mass index also increased from a
healthy 23.2 to an overweight 27.
It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from his experiment and return to his original weight, but the film
also had a wider impact. Just after its showing in 2004, McDonald's phased out the Super Size option and
healthier options like salads appeared on the menu.
Unfortunately, McDonald's denied the connection between the film and the changes, but it is interesting to
note how closely they coincided with the release of the film.
25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. An experiment with McDonald's fast food B. Putting on weight due to eating fast food
C. Connection between fast food and heart diseases D. How fast food trigger liver damage
26. Which of the following is TRUE about Morgan Spurlock?
A. He had to eat Super Size meal once a week. B. He had to eat Super Size meal twice a day.
C. He had to eat Super Size meal three times a week.D. He had to consume Super Size for three meals a day
27. In paragraph 2, the word "giant” is closest in meaning to........
A. light B. balanced C. big D. healthy
28. Which of the following could get rid of Spurlock's headaches?
A. salad B. a McDonald's meal C. a pain killer D. nothing
29. According to the passage, all of the following are the results of the experiment EXCEPT.........
A. Spurlock put on weight B. the experiment affected his heart
C. the experiment affected his liver D. he became fairly relaxed and energetic
30. The word "its” in paragraph 4 refers to.........
