V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer for each of the questions.
It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this

viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted
concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factor. Some of the
conclusions of these studies may give insight into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when
several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted
to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is
not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing.
A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste and crave
more flavorful food than non-obese people. When derived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese

people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people
after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood
insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen with average-weight people. In another
experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced hunger for
carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough
serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides.
Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has been
found that mind exercise, such as using stairs instead of the elevator, is better in the long run than talking
on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over periods of
time and which also increase appetite.
