Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions.
Most of us have a sweet tooth. We love to eat a cookie, a donut or a piece of chocolate. But
have you noticed what often happens when you eat one? When we eat or drink sugary foods,
the sugar enters our blood and affects part of our brain. We may feel better, but the good feeling
stops and we just want another one. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong
effect. This is why many scientists believe that our love of sugar might be an addiction. In the
body, sugar acts like an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down.
It seems obvious now that too much sugar can harm us, but why is it harmful? In early human
history, the body began storing sugar as fat to use as energy. Our bodies are efficient, so they
need very little sugar. Today, the Western diet has the highest amount of sugar in history. There
are also more high blood pressure and diabetes in the world. Some researchers believe that too
much sugar may be the culprit.
How do we battle our sweet tooth? Doctors advise us to cut down on sweets. They recommend
that we choose healthy foods for snacks. Nuts, dark chocolate and yogurts are some of them.
Yet even healthy foods can have too much sugar. Yogurts that are advertised as low-fat can
have 17 grams, about half the daily allowance. However, the less sugar you eat, the less you
want. Exercise helps, too. Using facilities such as walking tracks and gymnasiums can help
control our desire.
(Adapted from Reading Explorer 2, Paul MacIntyre et al., 2015)
