I. Read the passage and answer the questions( Circle 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 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 rate 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 dairy 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, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy
products.
