Task 1
Read the text and complete the gaps with one word only.
Little picky eaters
Picky eating is partly genetic. Parents, whose children like something one day but dislike it the next day, might be
surprised to find out that their child may have (26) born to be fussier than others. Studies have
shown that (27) sensitive we are to flavours (28) inherited. While parents can
relate to the daily challenge of finding foods that children (29) eat, they shouldn’t simply give in to
certain food the child wants or worse, give them (30) food at all. Encouraging a variety of healthy
food and getting the children exposed (31) different foods can help to counter this tendency.
Research has shown that (32) babies are given a wide range of healthy foods from six months
(33) , they are likely to develop healthy eating habits. Elena, a twenty-two-year-old from London
who is an emotional eater believes that her childhood habits (34) resulted in her having an awfully
sweet tooth. Although it is crucial for children to have a balanced diet, they shouldn’t (35) pushed
too hard to try different things as this can have an adverse effect.

Blood Type Diet
The Blood Type Diet which has many advocates is based on the notion that a person’s blood type determines which
foods are best for one’s health. However, there is no solid (36) to back this up. It’s claimed that each blood type
represents genetic (37) of our ancestors, including which diet they evolved to thrive on. There are four groups;
Type A, B, AB and O. There is a (38) reliance on plants in Type A with no red meat, while in Type B people should
avoid wheat, corn, and a few other foods. Type O has a close (39) to the Paleo diet; a high-protein
diet based (40) on meat, but limited in grains, legumes and dairy. Individuals with AB blood type are believed
to benefit from a mix of Type A and B diets. There’s no clinical evidence that any of these diets would (41) the
trick, however, (42) adherence to any of them can be effective for (43) one’s health. Any benefits are most
(44) due to nutrient intakes and (45) processed food from the diet.
