Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage．
Athletes of all shapes and sizes need to pay attention to what goes into their bodies，bu t sometimes It’s hard t0 know exactly what’s being consumed．
Sugar is one of those substances that you might take too much without knowing．One can of Coke contains about 39 grams of sugar，amounting to a total of 140 calories(卡路⾥)．Given their complex lack of nutritional(营养的)value，soft drinks aren’t worth your time．
Another problem is that most people love the taste of sugar and often don’t care whether they consume an unhealthy amount．This presents a risk for the general population，but emphatically for young athletes looking to improve their game．Like many things in life，there’s a fine line between too much sugar and just the right amount．
Staying within the 40-to-60 grams per day range, athletes can use simple sugars to their advantage，fueling their normal levels of activity．Beyond that，intense physical activity requires athletes to increase their daily sugar intake．
Some performance-supporting sugars are found in all kinds of healthy fruits．That’s why NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony has adopted a diet(饮⾷) filled with fruits to stay within his weight range of 228-230 pounds．He would not be the dominating force if he didn’t pay attention to his diet，specifically his sugar consumption.
