I A quick look at junk food facts tells us junk food and diets do not go hand in
hand. Junk foods are also called ‘empty calorie’ foods and have no nutritional
value. Nevertheless, they are enjoyed by lots of people because of their simplicity
to manufacture, consume and, of course, their taste. Chocolates, burgers, pizzas,
potato wafers and fries will surely find their way into everyone’s heart.
II Thai cuisine is one of the healthiest foods you can eat. In fact, several Thai
dishes, such as Tom Yum Soup, are currently under scientific study for their
incredible health benefits. Of course, it’s already known that many of the fresh
herbs and spices used in Thai cooking — such as turmeric, galangal, coriander,
lemongrass, and fresh chillies — have immune-boosting and disease-fighting
power.
III Vegetarian diets can be very healthy, but eating a balanced diet when you are
vegetarian usually requires a little extra attention. Because vegetarians eliminate
certain foods from their diets, they often need to work to add foods into their
diet that will provide the nutrients found in meat products. If properly planned,
vegetarian diets can provide all the nutrients you need.
IV It’s actually easy to make good choices at a fast-food restaurant or the
cafeteria. Most cafeterias and fast-food places offer healthy choices that are also
tasty, like grilled chicken or salads. Be mindful of portion sizes and high fat add-
ons, like dressings, sauces or cheese. Most restaurant portions are larger than the
average serving of food at home. Ask for half portions or take half of your dish
home.
V Family meals are making a comeback. Shared family meals are more likely to be
nutritious, and kids who eat regularly with their families are less likely to snack on
unhealthy foods and more likely to eat fruits and vegetables. Teens who take part
in regular family meals are less likely to smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs.
Beyond health and nutrition, family meals provide a valuable opportunity to
reconnect.
VI Families are cooking more meals at home, cutting back on take away in the
face of the economic downturn. In addition to cutting back on take away and
eating out, families have begun cooking more vegetarian meals and are adding
vegetables, lentils and baked beans to allow them to cut back on meat quantity.
Consumers also indicate that they are likely to prepare meals that can be spread
across more than one mealtime.
Read the following text for questions 21 - 29.
Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard people daily with things to
buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes and shoes than ever before.
Online shopping means it is easy for customers to buy without thinking, while
major brands offer such cheap clothes that they can be treated like disposable
items - worn two or three times and then thrown away. In Britain, the average
person spends more than £1,000 on new clothes a year, which is around four per
cent of their income. That might not sound like much, but that figure hides two
far more worrying trends for society and for the environment. First, a lot of that
consumer spending is via credit cards. British people currently owe approximately
£670 per adult to credit card companies. That’s 66 per cent of the average
wardrobe budget. Also, not only are people spending money
they don’t have, they’re using it to buy things they don’t need. Britain throws
away 300,000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill sites.
People might not realize they are part of the disposable clothing prob lem
because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities. But charity shops can’t
sell all those unwanted clothes. ‘Fast fashion’ goes out of fashion as quickly as it
came in and is often too poor quality to recycle; people don’t want to buy it
second-hand. Huge quantities end up being thrown away, and a lot of clothes that
charities can’t sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and
environmental problems. However, a different trend is springing up in opposition
to consumerism - the ‘buy nothing' trend. The idea originated in Canada in the
early 1990s and then moved to the US, where it became a rejection of the
overspending and overconsumption of Black Friday and Cyber Monday during
Thanksgiving weekend. On Buy Nothing Day people organize various types of
protests and cut up their credit cards. Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups
organize the exchange and repair of items they already own. The
trend has now reached influencers on social media who usually share Posts of
clothing and make-up that they recommend for people to buy. Some YouTube
stars now encourage their viewers not to buy anything at all for periods as long as
a year. Two friends in Canada spent a year working towards buying only food. For
the first three months they learned how to live without buying electrical goods,
clothes or things for the house. For the next stage, they gave up services, for
example haircuts, eating out at res taurants or buying petrol for their cars. In one
year, they’d saved $55,000. The changes they made meant two fewer cars on the
roads, a reduction in plastic and paper packaging and a positive impact on the
environment from all the energy saved. If everyone followed a similar plan, the
results would be impressive. But even if you can’t manage a full year without
going shopping, you can participate in the anti-consumerist movement by refus
ing to buy things you don’t need. Buy Nothing groups send a clear
message to companies that people are no longer willing to accept the
environmental and human cost of overconsumption.
For questions 21-24, choose the correct answer А, В, C, or D.
21. How much income do the Britons spend on buying clothes on average every
year?
A) more than a half
B) majority
C) none

B) They send on clothes that they don’t need actually.
C) They drop too many clothes into the rubbish.
D) They wear clothes until they are too old to wear.
23. What is the idea behind the ‘buy nothing* trend?
A) stop purchasing completely
B) prevent excessive spending on shopping
C) ban Block Friday shopping offers
D) stop getting loans from credit companies
24. What do Nothing groups tell production companies?
A) People are against damage to nature and society because of consu merism.
B) People don’t want to spend much money on items.
C) Online shopping will replace traditional shops.
D) Companies should not generate too much rubbish.

Elephants’ Early Warning System
A new study shows that elephants may communicate with other herds through
seismic vibrations. Few sights in nature are as awesome as a six-ton elephant
guarding her baby from a hungry predator. Rather than retreat, the threatened
mother is likely to launch a mock charge - a terrifying display of ground stomping,
ear flapping and frantic screaming designed to frighten off lions and hyenas.
But elephant researchers have discovered that there is more to a mock charge
than meets the eye. According to a new study in the Journal of the Acoustical
Society of America (JASA), foot stomping and low-frequency rumbling also
generate seismic waves in the ground that can travel nearly 20 miles along the
surface of the earth. More astonishing is the discovery that elephants may be able
to sense these vibrations and interpret them as warning signals of a distant
danger. 'Elephants may be able to detect stress from a herd many miles away,’
says Caitlin O'Connell-Rodwell, an affiliate of the Stanford Centre for Conservation
Biology. 'They may be communicating at much farther distances than we
thought,’ adds O'Connell Rodwell, author of the JASA study. In the early ‘90S,
O'Connell-Rodwell began to suspect there was more to long distance elephant
communication than airborne rumblings alone. ‘I started working
with elephants in Etosha National Park in 1992,’ she recalls. ‘I was observing them
at a drinking hole when I noticed this strange set of behaviours. They would lean
forward, pickup one leg and freeze - or begin stomping their feet for no apparent
reason.’ She theorized that the elephants were responding to vibrations in the
ground from approaching herds. ‘When I returned to the University of California
at Davis, I teamed up with my Ph.D. adviser, Lynette Hart, and geophysicist Byron
Aranson to find out if there really are seismic communications among elephants,’
she says. To test the theory that elephants transmit and receive underground
messages, O’Connell-Rodwell and her colleagues conducted several experiments
with elephants in Africa, India and at a captive elephant facility in Texas, USA. We
went to Etosha National Park in Namibia and recorded three acoustic calls
commonly made by wild African alephants,’ she says. ‘One is a warning call,
another is a greeting and the thirs is the elephant equivalent of ‘Let’s Go!’
The researchers wanted- to find out if elephants would respond to recordings
played through the ground; so they installed seismic transmitters at a tourist
facility in Zimbabwe where eight trained, young elephants were housed. The idea
was to convert audible 'Greetings!', 'Warning!" and "Let's go!" calls into
underground seismic waves that an elephant could feel but not hear directly
through the air. 'We used a mix of elephant calls, synthesized low-frequency
tones, rock music and silence for comparison," says O'Connell-Rodwell. "When
the Warning calls were played, one female got so agitated that she bent down
and bit the ground,' she notes. 'That's very unusual behaviour for an elephant,
but it has been observed in the wild under conditions of extreme agitation. The
young female had the same agitated response each time the experiment was
repeated. Researchers also played recorded calls to seven captive males. ‘The
bulls reacted too, but their response was much more subtle,’ notes O'Con nell-
Rodwell. ‘We think they’re sensing these underground vibrations through their
feet,’ she adds. ‘Seismic waves could travel from their toe nails to the ear via
bone conduction.’
