PART 6 .READING (10 questions)

Read the text and choose the best answer for each question. (5 questions)
The power of water
Drinking water is very important for our health. Scientists say the human body needs two litres of water a
day. That is the same as eight glasses. This sounds like a lot, but it's because we are 60% water, and our
bodies need water to work well. It helps the skin on our faces look good, helps us digest food and keeps
our energy up. It is also important for our joints.
But our need for water does not mean that we have to actually drink eight glasses. We also get water from
the food we eat. Fruit and vegetables are 90% water, while dairy products, like cheese and milk, contain
80% water. Fish (80%) and meat (75%) are also full of water, and even bread has 60% water. So, when we
eat these foods, we're getting some of the water our body needs.
Not everyone needs the same amount of water. The amount you need depends on how active you are, on
the weather and on your health. So it's best to listen to your body. Drink when you're thirsty and remember
that eating foods which are full of water helps too. Drinking enough water keeps you healthy and feeling
good!
36. Which of these ways that water helps the body does the text NOT talk about?
A. Losing weight B. The digestive system C. The way we look D. Parts of the body like
elbows and knees
37. Which of these food types contains the least water?
A. Fruit and vegetables B. Fish and meat C. Bread D. Dairy products
38. What are "these foods" in paragraph two?
A. Bread B. Fish and meat C. Cheese and milk D. All the products in the paragraph
39. How much water does the writer conclude we should drink?
A. Eight glasses a day B. It depends on the person. C. Two litres D. The writer doesn't say.
40. Where in the text does the writer give advice?
A. In the first paragraph B. In the second paragraph
C. In the third paragraph D. The writer doesn't give advice
