Your body needs energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fibre. In order to
get all of these, it is important to have a varied and balanced diet, and to eat the
right amount of food. Your body “burns” food to energy : the amount of energy
provided by food is measured in units called calories.
How many calories do you need? This depends on your weight and on what you
do. When you are asleep, your body uses nearly one calorie an hour for every
kilogram of weight. So a person who weights seventy kilos uses about 560 calories
while sleeping for eight hours. More calories are needed for different activities –
from 100 calories an hour for reading or watching TV, to 350 calories an hour for
playing football.
To calculate the number of calories needed per day for an everage person,
first find out the person’s ideal weight. Then multiply the weight by 40 for a woman
or 46 for a man. A 60 – kilo woman may need about 2400 calories a day – more if she
does heavy physical work and less if she is very inactive.
10. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?
a. To read something for an hour, a person needs 100 calories.
b. A person needs 350 calories per hour to play football.
c. Inactive persons do not need calories at all.
d. Food is burnt by the body to get energy.

11. How many calories do we need? It depends on ....
a. how old we are
b. how heavy we are
c. our weight and what we do
d. our age and our weight

12. The text mainly tells us about ....
a. energy
b. calories
c. protein
d. minerals
13. A sportman will need ... a businessman.
a. as many calories as
b. not so many calories as
c. more calories than
d. less calories than

Two very important fuel gases are made from petroleum during the refining process. They are butane and propane, which are similar to methane. These gases are sold in small tanks and are used for cigarette lighters, portable welding torches, and camping stoves.
Mixture of the two gases are stored under pressured .as a liquid. For this reason the mixture is called liquefied petroleum gas or LPG. As it is used the liquid in the tank evaporates and leaved the tank as gas. The main use of LPG is as a cooking fuel on farms and in small towns are where a central gas making plant
would not be practical. Instead of piping the gas to the house where it is to be used, a tank of LPG is connected directly to the stove. Because LPG is sold in tanks, it is often called tank gas or bottled gas.

THE DIGESTTVE SYSTEM
When you're hungry and you smell dinner, your mouth waters. This is the first step in changing the food you eat into the kind .of food that cells can use. This change is called digestion, and it begins in the mouth.
Suppose you are eating sandwich. Your front teeth cut and tear the sandwich. The molars grind it. Saliva, the juice in the mouth, gets everything moist. Saliva also contains a type of chemical called an enzyme. It starts breaking down the starch of the bread into sugar.
The moist ball of the food is carried to the back of the mouth by the tongue. Muscles force the food into the esophagus, a narrow tube behind the windpipe. Other muscles force the food down the esophagus. They do their work so well that the food would travel along even if the person were doing a headstand.

OIL
That oil has helped’ to shape the world is not an exaggeration. Indeed, the discovery of oil during the last hundred years has changed a great deal of things. An oil product called kerosene has replaced firewood in the kitchen of our cities. Motor vehicles using gasoline or diesel oil have put animal-drawn carriages into museums. Steamships have lost against motor vehicles. Diesel locomotives have driven steam locomotives off the rails. :Jet planes using aviation fuel fly the skies, making remote places reachable in a matter of hours.
That oil is indispensable to our everyday lives is not an exaggeration, either. Yet few of us ever ask how this important liquid is extracted from the earth and changed into finished products. In the first place, it is not an easy matter to find an oil reserve. Exploration teams, sent by oil companies, have to go to remote places, find sometimes have to live under harsh conditions, to explore the earth or seabed for oil. They study the rock and the soil, and if there are promising result, the next thing for the oil company to do is to send a drilling team to the location. Again, this not a simple matter. Roads, for examples, have to be built first to transport the men and materials to the site. What is worse, the first drilling does not always bring about oil. The drilling team often has to drill up to ten wells before oil is found.

Water is an essential component of all living matter. The body itself consists of more than 70% water. Water is necessary for weathering processes that convert rock to soil and for the transport of soil nutrients to plant. In the form of vapour, it provides protection for us against the harmful radiations from outer space and the chilling temperatures at night. Water is so much a part of our daily lives that we take all this for granted, we drink it, wash with it, use it to dispose of our waste products and for countless other domestic purposes.
The widest use of water in some countries is for irrigation. The farmers grow rice extensively to satisfy the need for this staple food. With the programmer's priority being to increase rice production, the heavy use of water for agriculture will continue in the future.
Water is also used to produce electric power. Many hydroelectric power plants provide electricity for cities, towns and villages.
Industry depends on water. The manufacture of foodstuffs, textiles, man-made dams now attract more and more people for fishing, boating and other recreations.
Water sources can be classified as either surface water or ground water. Surface water originates from two main sources rivers and rainfall, which act as the sources of water in urban areas. Rainwater failing on land areas partly infiltrates the earth's surface and is partly intercepted by plants, while some evaporates. Water collected in lakes, swamps, streams and rivers can be used to provide an urban water supply.
