Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the
questions.
In 2002, several obese teenagers in the USA sued McDonald's, claiming
that the company was responsible for making them fat. They argued that
McDonald's deliberately misled them into thinking that their cheeseburgers
and other products were healthy and nutritious food. They claimed that the
company had not warned them about the health problems that can result from
eating too much salty, high-fat food and drinking too many sugary drinks:
diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity. The mother of one of the children,
who at the age of 15 weighed more than 180 kilograms, said in her
statement: ‘I always believed McDonald's was healthy for my son.'
McDonald's rejected the claim that they were responsible for these
teenagers’ health problems. ‘People don't go to sleep thin and wake up
obese,' said McDonald's lawyer, Brad Lerman. 'The understanding of what
hamburgers and French fries do has been with us for a long, long time,’ he
added. The judge agreed, and dismissed the case, saying: 'it is not the place
of the law to protect people against their own excesses.' In other words, if
people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food, they can't blame the
company that sold it to them.
Other similar lawsuits against fast food companies in the USA have also
failed. In 2005, the US House of Representatives passed a bill which became
known as the 'Cheeseburger Bill'. It made it much harder for obese people to
take legal action against the food industry. However, the bill has not ended
the arguments about responsibility. There is some scientific evidence to
suggest that fast food is addictive, and harmful too. So is selling fast food the
same, in a way, as drug-dealing?
Question 27. In paragraph 2, the word “rejected” is closest in meaning to

Question 28. In paragraph 2, the word “it” refers to ____.

Question 29. In paragraph 3, the word “failed” is closest in meaning to ____.
A. not famous B. not important C. not successful
D. not proud
Question 30. What happens if people choose to eat a lot of unhealthy food?
A. The company will be responsible for their health problems.
B. They may get financial support from the company.
C. They will surely succeed in lawsuits.
D. They can't force the company to be responsible for them.
Question 31. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
