Text 1.

‘Annie, dinner’s ready,’ I called to my daughter, wondering if she was going to come down at all. No reply, but a moment later Annie came down the stairs and joined us at the table.

‘This portion’s way too big! How many times do I have to tell you that?’ she nearly shouted.

That kind of behaviour was more and more common for her.

‘Darling, just eat as much as you want.’ I hated to say that but I was afraid she might not eat anything at all.

‘Well, I’m certainly not going to eat those,’ she pointed at the few noodles on her plate.

‘No carbohydrates, I’ve told you!’

‘Annie, calm down,’ my husband said. ‘You’re hurting your mum. Let’s eat, okay?’

‘I think I’ve lost my appetite,’ Annie was already getting up from the table. ‘If you don’t respect my rules, I don’t see why I should respect yours,’ she added already on the stairs.

A moment later we heard her bedroom door slamming behind her.

We all know that fruit and vegetables are among the best sources of vitamins and nutritional elements in our diet. That is why many people believe that eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables can (1)       [make, work, get, take] wonders to help us stay healthy and slim. But is it really good for you to eat fresh fruit in large amounts on a regular basis?

The main problem is that modern farming methods have led to the production of fruit which is very different from that growing in the natural environment. The fruit is now larger and sweeter, which means that it contains much more sugar than earlier varieties.

relying on fruit in our diet may badly (2)         [assure, effect, result, affect] our general health. For example, medical research has shown that a lot of fruitarians (people who eat only fruit) complain about problems with their teeth, skin and hair. While some of these illnesses are certainly (3)          [made, started, caused, led] by the fact that fruitarians lack some essential nutritional elements, such as fatty acids, other problems are triggered by the hormones that regulate sugar levels in our body. A number of fruitarians have been diagnosed with heart diseases and diabetes due to their unbalanced diets.

The good news, though, is that eating fruit in moderation can greatly (4)            [compliment, complement, consist, include] a well-balanced diet.
