VI. Read the following passage and choose the best answers A, B, C or D to each of the
questions. (1,0 pt)
       The phrase "healthy lifestyle" is a definition of how you should live if you want to get the
healthiest body you can- one that both looks good and feels good. You know the obvious
behaviours that describe someone who is healthy and takes care of themselves. A healthy
person doesn't smoke, eats healthy foods with plenty of fruits, vegetables and fiber and, of
course, exercises regularly. A healthy person also knows how to manage stress, gets good
quality sleep each night, doesn't drink too much, doesn't sit too much, does everything in
moderation all the time. When you look at everything that could possibly make a healthy
lifestyle, you can see just how hard all of those things are in our current world.
       There is no such thing as a "bad" food, but there are some foods you should try not to
have on a regular basis. Fast food refers to food that can be prepared and served quickly. It is
popular as the food is inexpensive, convenient, and tastes good. Because fast food is high in
sodium, trans-fat, and cholesterol, it isn't something you should eat often.
         The good news is that you don't have to change everything at the same time. In fact,
the trick to healthy living is making small changes-taking more steps each day, adding fruit to
your cereal, having an extra glass of water, or saying no to that second helping of buttery
mashed potatoes. One thing you can do right now to make your lifestyle healthier is to move
more.

A. drink too much alcohol                   B. exercises regularly
C. seat too much                            D. eat too much fast food.
38. The word “current” in the paragraph 1 is CLOSET meaning to_____________
 A. knowledge         B. stress              C. present                 D. cheating
39. According to the passage 2, the food that can be prepared and served quickly
