Read the following passage, then answer the questions (7.M):

It was believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people agree to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being performed concerning appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give us the ability to understand how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several people were. asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 % said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations of both humans and animals

indicated that it is not food which relieves tension, but rather the act of chewing. A test showed that extremely fat people have a high sense of taste, and love more flavoured food than thin people. When deprived of the variety of tastes, extremely fat people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Exercise has been recommended as an important part of weight-loss programmes. However, it has been found out that mild exercise is a way of losing weight because using the stairs

instead of the lift is better in the long run than taking on a severe programme such as running slowly (jogging). Many people find jogging difficult to continue over long periods of time, it also increases appetite.

A) Answer the following questions :

1- What is the main idea of the passage ?

2- What is the best treatment for overweight, according to the writer's point of view ?

3- What are the two kinds of exercises that help lose weight ?

5- One of the emotional factors which control appetite is………. .

a) jogging b) chewing c) eating d) stress

6- When fat people are deprived of the variety of taste they .....

a) lose weight b) practise exercises
