In 1783, two French brothers build the first balloon to take people into the

II. Read the passage and answer the questions by choosing the best answer:
As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for
our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of

grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, they have high rate of cancer
and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amount of grains and very
little meat. The Japanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In
fact, the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when
Japanese people move to the United States, the rates of heart disease and cancer
increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice cream, and other high
fat foods become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are
increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and diary products in
other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease
rates in these countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently,
doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains and vegetables and to eat less
meat and fewer diary products.

Most types of paper can be recycled. Newspapers have been recycled
profitably for decades and recycling of other paper is growing. It’s important to
know what you are buying in a paper product, for that reason virtually all paper

rolls. “Post- consumer” mean the paper that you and I return to recycling
centers.
