3 3. Based on information from the health journal, we can have a healthy eating habit if A Eat when we are hungry. B Eat when we are full. C Select food that we do not like 4. According to the information above, we know that A If you are only 15, you do need calcium. B If you are 21, you need 1,000 mg of calcium. C Only those above 70 years of age have osteoporosis When it is time for meals, we tend to focus on what we should eat, but we overlook our eating habits. Ellyn Satter, a social worker, and registered dietician, suggests that normal eating includes going to a meal hungry and eating until we are satisfied, being able to choose the food we like and getting enough of it. We should also give some thought to our food selection so we get some nutrition, eat three meals a day and leave some cookies on the plate because we know we can have some again tomorrow. You need calcium to build strong bones when you are young and to keep bones strong as you get older. Everyone needs calcium, but it is especially important for women and girls. Many people, including most women, do not get enough calcium. For women, if you are between the ages of 19 and 50, get 1000 mg of calcium. If you are 51 and older, take 1200 mg of calcium everyday. Calcium can help prevent osteoporosis. 1 in 4 women and 1 in 20 men over the age of 65 in the United States have osteoporosis. Calcium helps to keep your bones strong.

According to him, conventional techniques use hot air at 60 degrees Celsius, but the high temperature tends to damage the pigments in lemon skin. He said other active ingredients, such as antioxidants, vitamin C and some bioactive compounds and nutrients could also be very sensitive to high temperature processing. This is where cool-air drying technology plays a vital role. He said his low-temperature preservation technique uses a heat-pump system and heat transfer module to generate a low temperature, low humidity environment to dehydrate bio- origin products.

8 Part 3 You are going to read an extract from an article. For questions 19 to 26, choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D) Meena is an established baker today. However,her life was never a bed of roses. Her story is a true rags-to-riches story. She was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that landed her in the hospital at the tender age of 26. She was in the hospital for three months being a medical guinea pig. The doctors were baffled by her physical condition. She was very upset because she had just obtained her Human Resource degree and now, she was fighting for her life. She had also enrolled in a pastry chef course before getting sick with the hope of starting her career as a pastry chef. She had mapped out her future but the odds were against her. She was then caught in a whirlwind of medical complications, infections, MRIs, tests, seizures, memory loss, stroke, ICU and operations. Her life was fragile and she was unsure if she would come out of the hospital alive. Doctors had given up hope on her and she felt so hopeless. However, she and her family members as well as friends prayed fervently, hoping for a miracle. Suddenly, with God's grace, her health condition took a turn for the better. She was then in the ICU when the miracle happened. She was feeling hopeless and depressed and cried out to God to save her. She could feel His presence as she walked with Him through a very long and dark tunnel. After that turning point, it was a smooth journey to complete recovery. There were no lingering impairments or the need for ongoing medication. It was indeed a total recovery! Her recovery gave her hope to continue living. Her top priority was to complete her pastry course. She was an excellent pastry chef and was offered to design new desserts for the large hospitality franchise that she worked for. This was prior to her hospital fiasco. However, she was left in a lurch as her employer was not keen on having an employee who was sickly and had a stroke and seizures. To make matters worse, her fiancé, now husband, had lost his job. They were planning to start life afresh but now everything was bleak as they had no money. Life was miserable as she was skinny, semi-bald, broke,jobless, and living in a moth-infested apartment She began working at random jobs trying to make ends meet. It was very challenging for her especially as she was still at the recovery stage. However, she was determined to set her life right. She wanted a safe and secure job which paid her bill and gave her the sense of stability that she needed. However, the odds did not deter her as she had faith in God and strongly believed that He would help her. Soon enough, things began to look better for her when she received a call from her friend who wanted her to bake a cake with sugar figurines for their wedding anniversary. The sugar figurines her friend was referring to was none other than fondant icing, she had no experience at all in making fondant icing and decorating cakes using this type of icing. However, that night, she taught herself how to make steam fondant and decorated the cake.It was her first attempt, and it was brilliant! Her friend was so impressed and paid her handsomely for the cake. This was the turning point in her career. She thoroughly enjoyed baking the cake and handcrafting it into a beautiful piece of art. She was also swept off by the encouraging feedback from friends and acquaintances on the beautiful cake. It tasted as pretty as it looked. It was then that she realised that she didn't want just any job. She didn't want to work for people who underappreciated her work. She wanted to spend her time doing what she likes best - to create and bake impressive cakes. She was comfortable working from home at her own pace rather than being dictated by others. Today, she's the proud owner of Crazepop Cake School. She is living her dream with that first sugar figurine cake. She works every day as a creative entrepreneur and teaches passionate like-minded bakers.

10 Part 4 Questions 27 to 32 Read an article on durian. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fits each gap (27 to 32). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. The King of Fruits – Durian Malaysia and her neighbours are blessed with a climate which favours the generous growth of various types of fruits- rambutans, mangosteens, langsats, jackfruits and a host of others. Among these, durian is undoubtedly the most popular and the most expensive too. It is regarded by the locals and some visitors as the king of fruits. It is named king of fruits due to its rich sweet creamy delicious taste with strong distinctive odour. A.R A.R Wallce, in his book entitled The Malay Archipelago, has this to say: “….. to eat durians is a new sensation worth a voyage to the East to experience.” But save for a minority of Europeans born with special palate, most of them detest the smell of durians, which they liken to rotten onions. The tree has oblong tapering rounded at the base, and yellowish green flowers borne along the older branches. A durian tree starts to bear fruits after five years of age and it can bear fruits twice a year. The fruit is large, about the size of a ruby ball. Its colour varies from olive green to yellow. The hard, outer shell is covered in thorns, whose shape and size differs depending on the type. When ripe, the custard-like-flesh inside can be sweet and creamy. However, the durian’s distinctive smell has made the fruit a polarising delicacy. Hshshgggfs Durians are usually eaten raw, but Malays like to boil pulp with sugar, making ‘lempok’ which means sweetened durian paste. Most people prefer to eat durians with glutinous rice. It is difficult to open durians. Once opened, there are several compartments inside. Each compartment contains a few seeds and each seed is covered with a layer of pulp. 27 28 29 30 31 32
11 A Its outer rind is thick and covered with sharp thorns, giving rise to the Malay name 'durian' which literally means 'thorny fruit’. B An expert person opening a durian looks for faint grooves amid the thorns and using a long knife, carefully slits along these lines of weakness. C The fruit is not plucked off the tree but is left to fall when it ripens. D At a certain extent, some people vomit when they smell its scent. E The seed is usually fried to be eaten with rice. F Durian is one of the most important fruits grown in South-East Asia. G The pulp can also be used to make durian cake and durian jam, and to provide flavour for ice cream. H In the eyes of the westerners, durian is a strange and mysterious fruit. It is the pulp that is eaten. At the height of the durian season, durians are sold in markets and at roadside stalls. Everywhere durian lovers look for the kind of fruit to suit their taste.
12 Part 5 Questions 33 to 40 We interviewed six individuals about their hobbies and leisure. Read the texts below and answer the questions that follow. Hobbies and Leisure A - Hannah, 16 years old I always thought that I wasn't 'the artistic type'. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone to take pottery has taught me that everyone is artistic or creative in some way. Creating something from scratch, moulding it and watching it evolve is very fulfilling and relaxing. B - Jun Ni, 17 years old Ever since I was a young girl my favourite style of music has been jazz and blues. The first ever CD that I bought was Chuck Berry’s Greatest Hits. Even now, whenever I hear one of Chuck Berry’s songs I can’t help but tap my feet and hum along to the music. I just loved music that made me want to dance. C - Renuka, 17 years old I started learning how to swim when I was five years old and I have been swimming ever since. The reason I love swimming is that it can be extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the water. I find that whenever I leave the pool I feel totally relaxed. D - Farisya, 16 years old I think it’s important for me to learn how to cook. Maths and English are important, of course, but we need other skills too to help us live in today’s world. I love cooking and I think I’m really good at it. I don’t know why it isn’t difficult and it’s great fun. E - Christine, 17 years old I bought my first proper camera when I was 13. Before this, I had always enjoyed looking through the photos when they had been developed. Since then my enthusiasm has grown and grown. I enjoy experimenting with different ways to get an interesting picture. F - Ismat, 16 years old I’ve been training in karate for over seven years. Karate has helped me develop as a person and provided me with the tools for self-defence. I’m enjoying my karate journey and I am glad that it’s helped to shape the person that I am today.
