    3) Read the text and answer the questions. (_____/30)
    Why do we love sugar so much?
    Many scientists believe our love of sugar may
    actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary
    foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of
    our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling
    goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do
    this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this
    way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors
    recommend we all cut down on.
    "It seems like every time I study an illness and
    trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to
    sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of
    adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to
    347 million have diabetes. Why? "Sugar, we believe, is
    one of the culprits, if not the major culprit," says Johnson.
    Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early
    humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very
    efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for
    when there was no food. But today, most people have more than
    enough. So, the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
    So, what is the solution? Obvious that we need to eat less sugar.
    The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From
    breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly
    filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in
    foods that are advertised as low in fat.
    But there are those who are fighting back
    against sugar. Many schools are replacing
    sugary desserts with healthier options like
    fruit. Other schools are growing their own
    food in gardens, or building facilities like
    walking tracks so students and others in the
    community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
