the cow for the beans.Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother about
this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans out of the window.

but all the rest was quite dark and shady.So he jumped to the window. What did
he see? The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack's window. He opened the
window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder. He
climbed ... and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around,
he saw a very huge castle. He was very amazed.
Then
Jack walked along the path leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on
the doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess mercy to give him
breakfast, because he felt very hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at
first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.

hadn't finished when the whole house, began to tremble with the noise of

Question 31 through 40 are on
the following passage.
.Your
body needs energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and fibre. In order to get all of
these, it is important to have a varied and balanced diet, and to eat the right
amount of food. Your body "burns" food to energy: the amount of
energy provided by food is measured in units called calories.
How
many calories do you need? This depends on your weight and on what you do. When
you are sleep, your body uses nearly one calorie an hour for every kilogram of
weight. So a person who weighs seventy kilos uses about 560 calories while
sleeping for eight hours. More calories are needed for different activities
from 100 calories an hour for reading or watching TV, to 350 calories an hour
for playing football.To calculate the number of calories needed per day for an
everage person, first find out the person's ideal weight. Then multiply the
weight by 40 for a woman or 46 for a man. A 60 - kilo woman may need about 2400
calories a day - more if she does heavy physical work and less if she is very
in active.
