Dahl was drawn to competitive eating in 2011, at the former Big Red's Steakhouse in Madison. Dahl didn't want to pay for his meal so he signed up for a challenge: eat a three­pound cheese­steak sandwich in less than 10 minutes and skip (略过) the bill. He finished his eating within 5 minutes and 50 seconds.

　　Dahl's first pay came from Dickey's Barbecue Pit in suburban Minneapolis, where he earned D|S250 for eating nine pulled­pork sandwiches within six minutes. The former high school athlete found the competition and its over­the­top atmosphere reminding him of professional wrestling.

　　“I really get excited when the crowd starts cheering，” he said. “I am friends with other competitive eaters, but once I'm on stage I don't have any friends but we have become opponents (对手)．”

　　Dahl walks a few miles a day, lifts weights twice a week and plays soccer and climbs mountains with his 220­pound weight. He eats no more than 3,100 calories a day, mostly vegetables to avoid increasing his waistline, and stretches (撑大) his stomach by eating 10 pounds of cabbage in a single sitting followed by a lot of water.

　　His next challenge is scheduled for Saturday. Dahl will try to win D|S1,000 at a

　　national pizza­eating contest on Library Mall at the University of Wisconsin­Madison. Good luck to him and let's wait for his good news.

　　1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
