CLOZE TEST U 1

Unit 1  Food Personalities

People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. Because we might choose certain foods to “tell” people something about us, our __1__ can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet foods, __2__ caviar and lobster, and they eat only in __3__ restaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They might want to “tell” the world that they know about the “better things in life.” Human beings can eat many different kinds of food, but vegetarians choose not to eat __4__. They often have more in common than just their diet. Their personalities might be __5__ too. For example, vegetarians in the United States may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or job. They worry __6__ the health of the world, and they probably don’t believe in war. Some people eat mostly “fast food.” One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common with __7__, but they are very __8__ from vegetarians. They are competitive and good __9__ business. They are also usually in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this __10__ of their personalities, but it is a common picture of them.
