Task 3: Listen and fill in the blanks: (Unit 10, listening 2, page 196)
Mae: Hey, Sam. Mind if I join you?
Sam: Not at all. Have a seat.
Mae: So, what’s up with you?
Sam: Not much. Well, everything!
Mae: Are you OK? You seem 1. _______.
Sam: Actually, I’m really stressed. I’ve got so much to do before my big job 2. _______that I don’t know if I’ll have time
to prepare for it. I need to learn more about the company, fix my 3. _______, and get a new suit! I feel so 4. _______ in
a suit. It’s all really causing me a lot of anxiety—and lack of sleep, too.
Mae: Well, if you don’t mind me saying so, one of the things you might want to do first is 5. _______that milkshake and
those chips, too.
Sam: Hmm. Why’s that?
Mae: Well, they’re not good for you, for one.
Sam: I know that, but I have a 6. _______to want junk food when I’m stressed. It makes me feel better. I 7. _______ on
junk food.
Mae: You might think you feel better, but unhealthy foods can actually have a negative effect on your mood.
Sam: Oh, great.
Mae: It’s true that stress triggers the desire for sweets, like 8. _______ and chocolate. . .
Sam: . . . or chocolate milkshakes. . .
Mae: Yes, like chocolate milkshakes. But seriously, eating unhealthy foods can affect you in the short term and the long
term.
Sam: Well, honestly, I’m just looking at the short term right now.
Mae: Ok, then, you might be interested in knowing that research has confirmed that your 9. _______ can be affected by
what you ate two days ago. So, if you eat healthy foods today, you’ll be in a better mood in two days. And if you’re in a
good mood, you’ll feel more 10. _______ and less stressed.
Sam: Well, that makes some sense.
Mae: Yes. And, research shows that in the 11. _______, diets that
contain a lot of sugar and processed foods can lead to depression.
Sam: Well, overall, I do eat pretty 12. _______. It’s just when I’m stressed, I want chips, milkshakes, pizza—all that stuff!
Mae: Well, when’s the interview?
Sam: It’s in three days. So, I guess tomorrow, it’ll be all salads and 13. _______.

Mae: Good idea, Sam.
Sam: It’s 14. _______. I always knew that how I feel affects what I eat, but I never really thought about the fact that
what I eat could affect how I feel!
Mae: It’s really interesting stuff, right? And what’s even more amazing is that your personality type can also affect what
you eat—and how you eat.
Sam: What do you mean by that?
Mae: Well, take an 15. _______, for example. Many people think that being sociable is a positive 16. _______. But
extroverted people are more outgoing and like to be around others. They tend to go to more social occasions. . .
Sam: Like parties and dinners.
Mae: Exactly. And you can see where I’m going with this.
Sam: Yes, I can. So, extroverts eat less healthily because they’re always 17. _______, right?
Mae: That’s right. That’s not true for every extroverted person, of course, but studies have shown that it’s an aspect of
being extroverted.
Sam: And I heard that being a picky eater is a 18. _______ of someone who’s afraid to take risks and who may even
suffer from anxiety.
Mae: Oh, yeah? I wonder why.
Sam: Well, if you’re easily stressed and don’t like unknown situations, you probably don’t want to try new things. So, if
someone asks for sauce on the side or won’t try anything but a plain hamburger at a restaurant, that really says a lot
about their personality overall.
Mae: Uh, oh! I always ask for 19. _______on the side. I don’t think I have an anxious personality!
Sam: Are you sure?
Mae: Yeah. I just think that they always put too much dressing on salads at restaurants!
Sam: Well, I guess that makes you 20. _______, then!
