Meat and vegetables are measured in grams and kilograms. Milk and other liquid foods are measured in litres or milliliters. These units only measure quantity. They do not measure the value of the food to the body. The unit which measures the quality or value of food is the “calorie”. A calorie is the amount of heat given off by food when it burns. This measurement tells how much energy a certain food has when it is completely used by the body.
Our bodies use varying amount of calories. The more exercise we take, the more calories we burn. If we eat food which contains more calories than we use up, then it is possible that we would increase in weight. In order to avoid becoming overweight, it is advisable to eat a balanced diet and not eat too many foods that have a high calorie rating. The table below gives you some idea of the number of calories in food.

[答案与解析]
1. A。根据短文第一段第一句…emigrated to Tasmania 12 years ago, decided to revisit England…可推断出正确答案。 2. C。通过短文第一段和最后一段分别提供的两个数据10,000 miles和14,000 miles, 便能比较出两个方向路程的长短。 3. B。由短文最后两段可知,每个人单程费用是$250, 两个人往返的总费用是$1,000。也就是说,两个人的单程费用是$500。 4. C。由文中给出的各种食品所含的热量可知,a slice of bacon含calorie量为50,a sausage roll含calorie量为350,故它们之间为7倍关系。5. A。本篇短文主要介绍了测定各种食品质量的单位calorie 及各种食品所含的calorie的量。
