Reading Comprehension

  After killing Osama Bin Laden and dropping his body into the ocean to avoid causing more hatred from the Muslims, the American government, shortly after that, released a video of Osama Bin Laden living in his safe house watching TV, which has been viewed millions of times.The following are comments made by Twitter viewers.

  Yeah, Osama got what he deserved, Iraq got what they deserved, and Afghanistan got what they deserved.Saddam got what he deserved, Hitler got what he deserved.The list goes on & on.

  I hate saying this but I believe America deserved 9/11 …They have screwed up so many governments….

  I’m American and I and my brother suspected the whole story about dropping him into the ocean.We feel if they really killed him they would keep his body for proof.

  All you Islamic haters are ignorant fools.The terrorists don’t have anything to do with the religion.They say they are part of the Islamic Religion but they are not.Nuking(kill somebody with nuclear bombs)Pakistan will do nothing by the way.

  Please give me the 2 minutes of my life back that I watched your pointless and fake video.

  Man? Why is this video fake? Rather than shouting about how it’s obviously not Osama, why not provide the arguments for it instead of coming off as if you simply want to deny it for the sake of denial.

  What a load of nonsense, an insult to any intelligent person, Bin Laden dead for ages…watch Benazir Bhutto say so on YouTube a week before she herself was murdered.The Muslims murdered her for being an American spy!

READING COMPREHENSION

  Want to lose weight?Try eating.That’s one of the ways being developed by scientists experimenting with foods that trick the body into feeling full.

  At he Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England, food expert Peter Wilde and his colleagues are developing foods that slow down the digestive system, which then sends a signal to the brain that stops appetite.“That fools you into thinking you’ve eaten far too much when you really haven’t,”said Wilde.From his studies on fat digestion, he said it should be possible to make foods, from bread to yoghurt, that make it easier to diet.While the research is still in its early stages, Wilde’s approach to controlling appetite is one that some doctors say could be a key to solving the problem of obesity

  “Being able to switch off appetite would be a big help for people having trouble losing weight,”said Steve Bloom, a professor of investigative medicine at London’s Imperial College, who is not connected to Wilde’s research.Bloom said that regulating appetite through foods is theoretically possible.But Bloom warned that controlling appetite may be very challenging.“The body has lots of things to prevent its regulatory systems from being tricked,”he said.

  Wilde’s research makes use of the body’s ways of digesting fat.Fat normally gets broken down in the first part of the small intestines(肠道).When you eat a high-fat meal, however, the body can only digest the fat entirely further down in the intestines, which then causes the body to produce a kind of chemical to stop the appetite.

  Wilde’s approach copies what happens with a high-fat meal.He coats fat droplets(滴)in foods with modified proteins from plants, so it takes longer for the chemical that breaks down fat to reach it.That means that the fat isn’t digested until it hits the far reaches of the intestines.At that point, intestinal cells send a signal telling the brain it’s full.Even though the body hasn’t had a high-fat meal, it stops the appetite as if it has.If the fat had been digested earlier in the intestines, no such signal would be sent.

(1)

According to Wilde’s research, what could people do if they want to lose weight?

[  ]

A.

Eat more bread and yoghurt.

B.

Trick the body by eating nothing.

C.

Have foods with fat droplets coated.

D.

Control their digestive system strictly.

(2)

The underlined word“obesity”in Para.2 most probably means“________”.

[  ]

A.

being too fat

B.

eating too much food

C.

stopping appetite

D.

being unhealthy

(3)

What can be inferred about Professor Bloom’s opinion towards Wilde’s approach?

[  ]

A.

It won’t work since the body’s regulatory systems will never be tricked.

B.

It is sure to switch off the appetite of people with a weight problem.

C.

It sounds terrible because regulating appetite through foods is not practical at all.

D.

It’s no that easy to trick the body so more research should be done.

(4)

Which of the following is TRUE about Wilde’s approach?

[  ]

A.

A kind of chemical is added to make a high-fat meal less fatty.

B.

Fat is digested earlier and the body sends a signal telling the brain it’s full.

C.

Fat won’t get broken down in the first part of the small intestines.

D.

The chemical that breaks down fat will not reach the fat.

(5)

The passage is written to ________.

[  ]

A.

give advice on how to stop eating high-fat meals

B.

introduce a research on controlling appetite

C.

discuss the argument between two professors

D.

show different ways to trick the body
