Questions 6 through 9 refer to the passage below. This is a chart of the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid serves as a basic guide to make healthy food choices. If you take a look at the guide you can easily see which food groups you should be eating. According to the pyramid, most of your daily food should consist of breads, rice, and cereals. These are the foods in the bottom level of the pyramid. Almost equal to these, but not quite as much, should be vegetables and fruits. Therefore, you can feel free to go ahead and eat lots of fruit and vegetables every day. Servings of meat, fish, eggs, and dairy foods, which include milk and cheese, should be much smaller. Sugar should be the smallest portion of all. Of course, your daily nutritional needs will vary according to your activity level and life style. You do not have to follow the Food Pyramid, but it is a good way to be sure you will get the healthiest benefits from your daily food. If you keep a copy of the pyramid stuck to the door of your refrigerator, it will remind you to plan your daily meals wisely every time you go into the kitchen. 6. Which of the followings are dairy products? A. Milk and cheese B. Fish and eggs C. Sugar and spice D. Breads and rice 7. What is the purpose of the Food Pyramid? A. to sell food B. to help make healthy food choices C. to show which foods are bad for you D. to help remember the names of foods 8. Which food group has the second smallest serving suggestion? A. Sugars B. Dairy, meat, fish and eggs C. Vegetables and fruits D. Breads, rice and cereals 9. What affects your daily food needs A. your likes and dislikes B. the food pyramid C. your lifestyle and activity D. small portions PDF Eraser – Free Version PDF Eraser – Free Version PDF Eraser – Free Version
