VII. Read the passage and choose the answer A, B, C, or D that you think fits best each question. 
 The government published a report yesterday saying that we need to eat more healthily - more fruit and vegetables, less 
fat and sugar. So that means fewer burgers, chips and fried food as well as cutting down on sweet things. We went into 
central London yesterday at lunch-time and asked people what they thought about it. 
 'It's got nothing to do with the government what I eat,' says Paul Keel, a building worker, as he eats a beefburger and 
chipr washed down with strawberry milkshake. 'I think I have a healthy diet. You see, I don't normally eat a beefburger 
for lunch. Normally I just have the chips.' 'Any fish? 'I like cod. But I've only ever had it once.' 
 Tim Kennor, a librarian, welcomes the government advice. But he also has his own rules. 'I think,' he explains, eating his 
fried chicken and chips, 'it's important to eat a variety of food.' We then asked Dorothy Matthews, aged 74. 'I don't think 
it's the government's business to tell us what to eat.' We went into Simpson's restaurant and asked the manager if people 
had changed what they were eating. 'I don't think people believe all these reports any more. What they say is good for you
