III. Read the following passage carefully and circle the best answer: A, B, C or D
 (5 × 0,2 = 1,0 pt)
 As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, they have high rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have very low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact, the Japanese will live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when Japanese people move to the USA, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice cream, and other high – fat foods become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungry. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.
What is the main idea of this dialogue?
Doctors advise people to eat more grains, fruit and vegetables
Eating meat causes cancer and heart diseases.
The kind of diet we have can cause or prevent diseases

Why do the Japanese have low rates of heart disease and cancer?

Because they do not eat animal fat.
Because their diet changes.

Some other people B. all other people C. most other people D. nobody
“.Moreover, as hamburgers, ice cream, and other high – fat foods become popular in Japan” . What does MOREOVER mean?
