C. READING
I. Read the following passage and answer the questions below. (1m)

Nutrition plays a key role in maintaining good health and preventing
many diseases. In spite of all the information available about diets,
Scientists still believe that good nutrition can be simple. There are several
basic rules to follow. Keep fat intake low. Eat foods high in carbohydrates,
which are the starches in grains, legumes (beans and peas), vegetables, and
some fruits. Avoid too much sugar. Limit salt. Eat lots of fruits and
vegetables, which are high in vitamins.
A healthful lifestyle is an active lifestyle. Lack of proper physical exercise
can cause tiredness, irritability, and poor general health. Physical fitness requires
both aerobic exercise, such as running, bicycle riding and swimming, and muscle-
strengthening exercices, such as weight-lifting.
Good health is acquired by saying no to bad habits such as smoking,
drinking and overeating and by avoiding situations that are constantly
stressful. People can take their lives and their happiness into their own
hands. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the first step.
