Reading

Read the text. Then decide if the statements below are true (T) or false (F).

Michael Phelps is probably the greatest Olympic swimmer in the history. He won ix gold medals in the 2004 Olympics, and then in the Olympic games at Beijing, in 2008, he won another eight gold medals and broke five world records.

How does he do? Well, Phelps’ biggest secret is that he eats a huge amount of food every day. In fact, you won`t believe how much he eats. He eats so much that it`s almost impossible for an ordinary person to eat the same quantity. We know because one of our reporters, Joe Finch, tried to eat Michael Phelps` breakfast. First, he ate a bowl of cereal, which was much smaller than the one Phelps eats. Then he had a big sandwich which was made of white bread and butter, with a fried egg and tomatoes inside. Phelps usually eats three of these! Then he ate a five-egg omelette. Our reporter could only eat half of it. And finally he had a piece of toast and two chocolate pancakes. Unbelievably, Michael Phelps eats three pieces of toast and three large pancakes. And that`s just breakfast! For lunch he usually has half a kilo of pasta.

But why does one of the most amazing swimmers in history eat so much unhealthy food? Well, the answer is carbohydrates. Phelps swims a hundred kilometres every week, so he spends hours and hours in the swimming pool. Consequently, he needs a lot of energy, and carbohydrates give him energy. The problem is that he doesn`t have enough time to eat properly. He`s always in the pool, and he can`t eat when he`s swimming. So he has to eat as much food with lots of carbohydrates in it as he can.

1. Michael Phelps won fourteen gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. T/F

2. Michael Phelps doesn`t eat any carbohydrates. T / F

3. He has to eat unhealthy food as quickly as he can. T / F

4. Michael Phelps didn`t break any world records. T / F

5. The reporter couldn’t eat the same quantity of food as Michael Phelps does. T / F
