1.  Read the passage given  below carefully  and answer the questions  that  follow  : 
 
There is much concern among doctors about patients who are obese. Many of us are hardly 
taking any exercise and we are consuming far too many calories for our sedentary way of 
life. 
On the other hand, doctors are also worried at the increase in the number of people who are 
suffering from anorexia. This is an eating disorder in which people think that they are 
disgustingly overweight when, infact, they are far too thin. Often they pretend to eat at meal 
times, but hide the food, disposing  it off later. The disease is sometimes  known as the 
Slimmer's disease,  but it is far more  serious than what this  name implies.. 
Anorexia can result in malnutrition and later the complete collapse of the body, eventually 
leading to death. Excessively thin or skinny fashion models and other celebrities are often 
blamed for the spread of this disorder since the young and impressionable :regard them as 
role models and try to copy them. Some experts claim that anorexia is also an emotional · 
disorder. Men may also suffer from  this disease. 
At the same time, a growing number of people are suffering from another disorder called 
bulimia. In the course of this disorder, the sufferer often has times when the 'Y over eat and 
binge on  various food items and later vomit to get rid of it. It is alright to go on a diet for a 
short period of time if you want to lose weight, but you should avoid crash diets. It is far 
better to have a healthy balanced diet along with regular exercise, rather them, falling prey 
to these  disorders.
