Task 1
Read the text and complete the
gaps with one word only.
Little picky eaters
Picky eating is partly genetic. Parents, whose children like something one day but dislike it the next
day, might be surprised to fi nd out that their child may have (26) born to be fussier than others.
Studies have shown that (27) sensitive we are to fl avours (28) inherited. While
parents can
relate to the daily challenge of fi nding foods that children (29) eat, they shouldn’t
simply give in to certain food the child wants or worse, give them (30) food at all.
Encouraging a variety of healthy food and getting the children exposed (31) diff erent foods
can help to counter this tendency. Research has shown that (32) babies are given a wide
range of healthy foods from six months (33) , they are likely to develop healthy
eating habits. Elena, a twenty-two-year-old from London who is an emotional eater believes that her
childhood habits (34) resulted in her having an awfully sweet tooth.
Although it is crucial for children to have a balanced diet, they shouldn’t (35)
pushed too hard to try diff erent things as this can have an adverse eff ect.

Task 2
Read the article and decide
which answer (A, B, C or D) best
fi ts each gap.
Blood Type Diet
The Blood Type Diet which has many advocates is based on the notion that a person’s blood type determines which
foods are best for one’s health. However, there is no solid (36) to back this up. It’s claimed that each blood type
represents genetic (37) of our ancestors, including which diet they evolved to thrive on. There are four groups;
Type A, B, AB and O. There is a (38) reliance on plants in Type A with no red meat, while in Type B people
should avoid wheat, corn, and a few other foods. Type O has a close (39) to the Paleo diet; a high-protein
diet based (40) on meat, but limited in grains, legumes and dairy. Individuals with AB blood type are believed to
benefi t from a mix of Type A and B diets. There’s no clinical evidence that any of these diets would (41)
the trick, however, (42) adherence to any of them can be eff ective for (43) one’s health. Any benefi ts
are most (44) due to nutrient intakes and (45) processed food from the diet.
