The number of calories a person needs each day differs from one individual to another. Normally, the food a
person eats in three well-balanced meals each day 41 all the energy-making calories needed. Sometimes
individuals 42 more calories than their body can use, or eat an appropriate number of calories but in foods
high in fat. Such calories are deposited in the body as fat. Those people who have stored too much fat must
carefully watch not only the amount, 43 the kind of food they eat. They may be 44 to find that a
tablespoon of butter and 3/4 cup of peas each contains about 100 calories. But those fat-filled calories from butter

四、閱讀測驗
If you dress in warm clothes, stay out of drafts, and keep dry, will you be able to avoid catching a cold? Not
necessarily.
Many people have believed that colds are caused by getting chilled and wet. Statistically, colds do seem to be
most common in winter and least frequent in June and July. Observers of such patterns of occurrence therefore
reasoned that keeping warm helped to prevent colds, while getting cold and wet produced colds.
But if this is so, how can we explain accounts from Arctic and Antarctic explorers who, in spite of exhaustion,
near starvation, and exposure to frigid conditions, did not catch cold? Then upon returning to the warmth and
comforts of civilization, they often succumbed immediately to colds.
Additional contrary evidence may be found in the experiences of inmates of World War II Nazi concentration
camps. During the late autumn and winter months, prisoners were forced to take showers and then stand wet and
naked in the open air. They fully expected to catch colds; to their surprise, most did not.
Doctors today believe that the common cold is caused not by dampness and cold but by a virus. However, if the
virus is present, it does seem to thrive better in a body whose natural powers of resistance have been weakened by
exposure to the cold and wet.
【3】46. While not directly stated, what may be inferred from the article?
No one now believes colds are caused by dampness and cold.
You will not catch cold if you get wet and cold.
We may cure colds by treating the viruses that cause them.
If you do not eat properly, you will surely catch cold.
【2】47. What is this reading mainly about?
Experiences of Arctic explorers
The cause of the common cold
Experiences in concentration camps
The effects of dampness and cold
【1】48. What does “they” in the fourth paragraph refer to?
