Reading
Read the text. Then decide if the
statements below are true (T) or false (F).
Michael Phelps is probably the greatest
Olympic swimmer in the history. He won ix
gold medals in the 2004 Olympics, and then
in the Olympic games at Beijing, in 2008, he
won another eight gold medals and broke
five world records.
How does he do? Well, Phelps’ biggest
secret is that he eats a huge amount of food
every day. In fact, you won`t believe how
much he eats. He eats so much that it`s
almost impossible for an ordinary person to
eat the same quantity. We know because one
of our reporters, Joe Finch, tried to eat
Michael Phelps` breakfast. First, he ate a
bowl of cereal, which was much smaller
than the one Phelps eats. Then he had a big
sandwich which was made of white bread
and butter, with a fried egg and tomatoes
inside. Phelps usually eats three of these!
Then he ate a five-egg omelette. Our
reporter could only eat half of it. And finally
he had a piece of toast and two chocolate
pancakes. Unbelievably, Michael Phelps
eats three pieces of toast and three large
pancakes. And that`s just breakfast! For
lunch he usually has half a kilo of pasta.
But why does one of the most amazing
swimmers in history eat so much unhealthy
food? Well, the answer is carbohydrates.
Phelps swims a hundred kilometres every
week, so he spends hours and hours in the
swimming pool. Consequently, he needs a
lot of energy, and carbohydrates give him
energy. The problem is that he doesn`t have
enough time to eat properly. He`s always in
the pool, and he can`t eat when he`s
swimming. So he has to eat as much food
with lots of carbohydrates in it as he can.
1. Michael Phelps won fourteen gold
medals at the 2008 Beijing
Olympics. T/F
2. Michael Phelps doesn`t eat any
carbohydrates. T / F
3. He has to eat unhealthy food as
quickly as he can. T / F
4. Michael Phelps didn`t break any
world records. T / F
5. The reporter couldn’t eat the same
quantity of food as Michael Phelps
does. T / F
