Obesity has been identified as a social problem in most of our public schools. Many prominent persons have agreed
and steps have been taken, with little success, to reduce and further erase this unwanted guest from our society.
Obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake, through food and drink, and
energy expenditure in the form of irregular sustainable physical exercises. In other words, where
energy intake exceeds energy expenditure over a sustained period of time, people (adults and
children) will become overweight and obese.
Some of the causes of obesity are: regular intake of foods with a high fat content; large
consumption of sugary sodas or drinks; high usage of salty preserved snacks and other “junky” foods ; lack of sustained
physical exercise.
Pupils are now less mobile than before because technology has brought knowledge and other activities closer to
the students. This has erased the need for them to travel to the libraries or on field trips to do research and collect data.
Additionally, gaming activities can be had at one stop - the internet. This results in them doing less physical activity.
1. According to the passage, how is obesity identified?
2. How is the use of technology helping to cause obesity?
3. According to the passage, the eating of what type of food causes obesity?
4. From the information given in the passage, name the technology responsible for bringing knowledge closer to the students.
5. What is the meaning of the word ‘erase’ as used in line 2 of the passage?
6. Which word in the passage may be replaced by the word ‘surpasses’?
7. Use the information given in the passage to state how obesity occurs.
8. What part of speech is the word ‘field’ as used in line 11 of the passage?

Profit & Loss Review

Secretive and expert at hiding, spotted salamanders live in forests throughout much of the eastern United States and Canada.
Though these bluish-black salamanders are large—about seven inches (18 centimeters) long—and distinctly marked with bright yellow or orange spots, they're still not easy to find. They're active only at night. During the day they stay quietly hidden under rocks, leaf debris, and logs. They also use other animals' burrows as their daytime hideouts.
Spotted salamanders' favorite habitat is forests near rivers and streams. When it's the salamander looking for a tasty meal, it goes after such prey as insects, worms, slugs, spiders, and millipedes.
It takes from 20 to 60 days for spotted salamander eggs to hatch. Like the tadpole stage of a frog, the salamander also starts out in a larval stage. It must be in water to survive until it develops into the adult salamander form, which takes from 60 to 90 days. Young salamanders eat the larvae of such insects as beetles and mosquitoes that share the water, as well as small animals they find around the edges of their pond.
Spotted salamanders produce a nasty-tasting toxin in glands on their backs and tails to deter predators.
1. What word from paragraph 2 tells us that the salamander's spots stand out?
2. Give evidence to show that the salamander is nocturnal. (Hint: look up the meaning of nocturnal if you need to!)
3. Name 3 animals upon which the salamander preys.
4. Explain the similarity between a frog and a salamnder.
5. How does the salamander defend itself?
Find synonyms for these words from the passage.
6. deter
7. expert
8. toxin
