III. READING ( 20 points )
Read the following passage carefully then do as directed:
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 rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amounts 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 USA,
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 dairy products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius, and
Hungry. 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, fruit and vegetables and to eat less
meat and fewer dairy products.
