Meat and vegetables are measured in grams and kilograms. Milk and other liquid foods are measured in litres or millilitres. These units only measure quantity; they do not measure the value of the food to the body. The unit which measures the quality or value of food is the “calorie”. A calorie is the amount of heat given off by food when it burns. This measurement tells how much energy a certain food has when it is completely used by the body.

  Our bodies use varying(不等的)amount of calories. The more exercise we take, the more calories we burn. If we eat food which contains more calories than we use up, then it is possible that we would increase in weight. In order to avoid becoming overweight, it is advisable to eat a balanced diet(飲食)and not eat too many foods that have a high calorie rating. The table below gives you some idea of the number of calories in food.

B
  It was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
  Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(*person whose job is selling meat). and he's going to give you your lunch today.”
  Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.
  At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
  The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (*people who buy sth. from a shop).
  But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”
  Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!

60 . It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs Smith gave it_______.
  A. might do it much harm  B. could do it much good
  C. would help the butcher  D. was worth many pounds
61 .The butcher did not give any meat to the dog __________.
  A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs Smith
  B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear
  C. because he had sold out all the meat in his shop
  D. until he was paid enough by Mrs Smith
62.From its experience, the dog found that ________.
  A. only the paper with Mrs Smith's words in it could bring it meat
  B. the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw it
  C. Mrs Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher
  D. a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat
63.At the end of the story, you'll find that _______.
  A. the dog was clever enough to write on the paper
  B. the dog dared not go to the butcher's any more
  C. the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dog
  D. the butcher found himself cheated(*act in a way that is not honest)by the                  clever animal
