Exercise 9. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his experiment to eat only
McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days.
Spurlock made himself a short list of rules for the experiment, including an obligation to eat all of the
three meals he ordered. He also had to ‘Super Size’, which means accepting a giant portion every time the
option was offered to him. He ended up vomiting after the first Super Size meal he finished, after taking
nearly twenty minutes to consume it.
After five days Spurlock put on almost 5kg, and he soon found himself feeling depressed, with no
energy. The only thing that got rid of his headaches and made him feel better was another McDonald's meal,
so his doctors told him he was addicted. More seriously, around day twenty, he started experiencing heart
palpitations and one of the doctors detected liver problems. However, in spite of his doctor's advice, Spurlock
continued to the end of the month and achieved a total weight gain of 11kg. His body mass index also
increased from a healthy 23.2 to an overweight 27.
It took Spurlock fifteen months to recover from his experiment and return to his original weight, but
the film also had a wider impact. Just after its showing in 2004, McDonald's phased out the Super Size option
and healthier options like salads appeared on the menu. Unfortunately, McDonald's denied the connection
between the film and the changes, but it is interesting to note how closely they coincided with the release of
the film.

A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it
was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state
of the existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a
new capital city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city.
The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.
Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They
then produced a report
suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both
locations had advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
Page 8
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as
transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site
north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of
‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections:
Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and
would serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with
industry and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for
education, recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and
well-organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.
