Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:
On September 30, 1659, I,
miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked during a violent storm, came on
shore on this dismal island. I call it the Island of Despair. I was almost dead
and the rest of my ship's company was drowned. I had neither food, house nor
clothes. I feared I would be devoured by wild beasts. When night came, I slept
in a tree for fear of wild creatures. It rained all night.
The rain continued through the next day with gusts of wind. Only a wreck of my ship was to be seen at low water. I swam to the wreck to rescue and secure for my survival some food and other provisions. I was able to collect some wood, cable, string, a knife, nails, and a gun. I also collected a hammock and some canvas with which I made a tent. I got some ink and paper. I also found some money, but they were useless to me on this barren island. I was some hundred leagues out of the ordinary course of the trade of mankind. I was convinced I had to spend the rest of my life alone on this wild, desolate island.

Sun-warmed in the late

Under the autumn's gentlest
sky
We walked and froze
half-through a pace.
The great black snake went
reeling by.
Head down, tongue flickering
on the trail
He quested through the parting
grass.
Sun glazed his curves of
diamond scale
And we lost breath to see him
pass.
What track he followed, what
small food
Fled living from his fierce
intent,
We scarcely thought; still as
we stood
Our eyes went with him as he

Cold, dark and splendid he was

Into the grass that hid his
prey.
We took a deeper breath of

Looked at each other, and went on.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
A balanced diet is not a fat,
yo-yo or crash diet it is a way of ensuring you eat all of the required
nutrients for your body to function properly. A balanced diet will not be the
same for every one. Every one is different and often, individuals will require
a different amount and type of nutrients. What you need will vary and wa depend
on age, gender, lifestyle, illness and the rate at which your body works.
Eating a balanced diet is the key in maintaining good health and keeping your
body in optimum condition. A balanced diet does not cut out food groups. It
consists of a wide variety of food, served in the correct proportions, to
support your body and keep you energised, motivated and healthy. Carbohydrates
and starchy foods, such as rice, pasta, cereal potato should generally be the
size of your feast. Butter and bread are often high in fat and sugar, therefore
only a small amount if needed, aims for a portion that is the size of the tip
of your thumb. Protein sources, such as meat and fish should generally be the
size of your palm. Fruits and vegetables will generally make up the largest
part of your meals. Try to add a variety of greens to your lunch and dinner if
you can.
Once again, portion sizes will vary. If you exercise regularly, you may need more food than someone who isn't very active. In this case, a nutritionist may be able to help you.
