V/ (1,5 points) Read the following passage then answer the questions. Write your answers on the answer sheet.

As a result of years of research, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of their diet, they have high rates of cancer and heart disease. In Japan, in contrast, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have low rates of cancer and heart disease. In fact the Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. Unfortunately, when people move to the US, the rates of heart disease and cancer increase as their diet changes. Moreover, as hamburgers, ice-cream, and other high fat food become popular in Japan, the rates of heart disease and cancer are increasing there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy products in other countries such as Cuba, Mauritius and Hungary. Not surprisingly, the disease rates in these countries are increasing along with the change in diet. Consequently, doctors everywhere advise people to eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and to eat less meat and fewer dairy products.

The oldest living things on Earth (46) .....are……trees. Some of California's sequoias have for four thousand years looked down on the changes in the landscape and the comings and goings of  humans. (47) They…… sprouted from tiny seeds about the time the Egyptian pyramids (48) ...were…… being built. Today these giant patriarchs seem as re-mote and inaccessible (49) …as……the rocks and mountain cliffs on which they grow, like cathedral columns holding up the sky. It is hard to imagine them playing any part in the lives of (50)…mere….. mere humans (50)…or…..  doing in any way affected by the creatures that pass at their feet.

Lesser trees, however, have played an important and intimate (51) …role…….. in the lives of people since they first appeared on(52) …Earth………  . Trees fed the fires that warmed humans: they provided shelter, food, medicine and even clothing. They also shaped people's spiritual horizons. Trees expressed the grandeur and mystery of life, as they moved through the cycle of seasons, from life to death and back to (53) ……life …. again.

Trees were the largest (54) ……living…… things around humans and they knew that some trees had been standing on the same spot in their parent's and grandparents' time, and would continue to stand long after they were gone. No wonder these (55) ……trees……  became symbols of strength, fruitfulness, and everlasting life.
