II. Read the text and choose the correct answers for the questions.
Carbohydrates are the most common source of energy for the human body. Protein builds tissue and
cells in the body. Carbohydrates are very good for energy, but, if a person eats more than needed, the
extra is changed into fat. If necessary, humans can live without eating carbohydrates because the
human body can change proteins into carbohydrates. People of some cultures eat food with very little
carbohydrates, but they still remain healthy.
Carbohydrates are found in a wide variety of foods. The important sources are cereals (wheat, maize,
rice), potatoes, sugarcane, fruits, table sugar (sucrose), bread, milk, etc. Starch and sugar are the
important carbohydrates in our diet. Starch is abundant in potatoes, maize, rice and other cereals.
Sugar appears in our diet mainly as sucrose (table sugar) which is added to drinks and many prepared
foods such as jam, biscuits and cakes. Glucose and fructose are found naturally in many fruits and
some vegetables. Glycogen is carbohydrate found in the liver and muscles (as animal source).
Cellulose in the cell wall of all plant tissue is a carbohydrate. It is important in our diet as fibre which
helps to maintain a healthy digestive system.
Research in the United States and Canada have shown that people get about 40% to 60% of their
energy from carbohydrates. However, studies suggest that some people get at least 55% to 75% of
energy from carbohydrates. It may depend on the amount of physical work done by people: the
harder the work, the more energy they need. The other need for energy is body temperature. Living in
a cold climate means a person needs more energy.

A. nutritious foods

with their breakfast.
Around noon, people eat their lunch. People who are working at jobs are given a break to eat their
lunch. The lunch meal includes foods such as a sandwich, soup, vegetables, fruit, and milk. In some
countries, such as Italy, people serve an alcoholic drink with lunch. In England, some people have a
glass of beer with their lunch.
