Directions: Read the following passages and choose the most appropriate answer for each question. (40 points)
Passage I
If you do not want to pay hefty prices for imported beef, try buffalo meat, which may not have the organic label but will be grass-fed and leaner than cow meat. That will satisfy your craving for red meat. Fresh meat markets in Bangkok and the Northeast mostly sell cow meat, but if you are living in the North, the markets mainly sell buffalo meat. (P1)
As for white meat, you can go for organic pork chops and eat no more than eight ounces per meal. A three-oz serving of pork contains 0.105 oz of fat, while a chicken breast without the skin contains 0.106 oz of fat, according to studies at the Universities of Wisconsin and Maryland. (P2)
A much leaner and tastier alternative to chicken is turkey with its white and dark meats that are packed with a gamy flavor. (P3)
Now that you are getting the go-ahead for meats, don’t forget to take everything in moderation and make sure to trim the fats. For optimal health, balance your diet with whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. (P4)
