14. 0:29There are two tasks in this test.
15. 0:31Listen and do task one, true or false.
16. 0:36The word diet originally meant things
17. 0:38that people usually eat, but these days
18. 0:40we use the word to mean an eating
19. 0:42pattern or program designed to change
20. 0:45something.
21. 0:46We could be talking about any one of
22. 0:48many different kinds.
23. 0:50There are diets for avoiding certain
24. 0:52chemicals like salt, and there are diets
25. 0:55to increase amounts of certain things
26. 0:57like potassium.
27. 0:59There are even diets to help people put
28. 1:01on weight.
29. 1:03However, despite all these, we usually
30. 1:05say diet about losing weight. This is
31. 1:08certainly the area where the money gets
32. 1:10spent, and it has a long history.
33. 1:13But when did it all start?
34. 1:16There's a story that in 1087, William
35. 1:18the Conqueror, King of England, had
36. 1:20become so fat that he could no longer
37. 1:23ride his horse.
38. 1:24He stayed in bed and drank alcohol
39. 1:26instead of eating healthy food and
40. 1:28trying to lose weight.
41. 1:31Now, it may or may not have worked for
42. 1:33him, but we can't really recommend it as
43. 1:36an approach for most people.
44. 1:38What's important is the kinds of food
45. 1:40you eat because different foods contain
46. 1:43different things our bodies need.
47. 1:46But it has taken a long time to find out
48. 1:48exactly what these are.
49. 1:50Sea travel led to some increase in
50. 1:53understanding.
51. 1:54When it became possible to build ships
52. 1:56that could go on long voyages. Sailors
53. 1:59started to spend many months at sea.
54. 2:02They also started getting a strange
55. 2:04disease called scurvy.
56. 2:06Eventually, it became clear that they
57. 2:08needed fruit or vegetables to survive.
58. 2:11Today,
59. 2:12we know that vitamin C is the reason.
60. 2:16Although the discovery helped their
61. 2:17lives, there was much more that wasn't
62. 2:20known.
63. 2:21Nobody knew, for example, why some
64. 2:23people got fat and others didn't, or
65. 2:26what to do about it.
66. 2:28Then, in the 1890s, a chemist called
67. 2:31Wilbur Atwater began investigating how
68. 2:33foods consisted of proteins, fats, and
69. 2:36carbohydrates.
70. 2:38He found that he could measure the heat
71. 2:40value of these by burning them and
72. 2:42called a unit of this heating a calorie.
73. 2:45This measurement he created can be seen
74. 2:47as the start of modern food science and
75. 2:50dieting.
76. 2:52Since then, knowledge has come quickly.
77. 2:54Some people say too quickly.
78. 2:57Listen and do task two. Choose one
79. 2:59correct answer.
80. 3:00The word diet originally meant things
81. 3:02that people usually eat, but these days
