Without food, our<br /> bodies could not stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right<br /> foods can help us avoid certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other<br /> important functions are fueled by chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients<br /> are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.<br /> <br /> When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion.<br /> Digestion begins in the mouth by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a<br /> watery fluid that contains enzymes, certain proteins that help break down food. Further<br /> digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and the small intestine, where digestive<br /> enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the digestive tract.<br /> Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and carried to<br /> the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites, several chemical reactions occur,<br /> which ensures the growth and function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are not absorbed<br /> continue to move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces.<br /> Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy<br /> it needs to maintain its many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the<br /> amount of energy needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition<br /> discussions, scientists use the term calorie instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure<br /> in nutrition.<br /> Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are<br /> manufactured in the body and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include<br /> cholesterol, a fatlike substance present in all animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained<br /> from food sources, because the body either does not produce them or produces them in<br /> amounts too small to maintain growth and health. Essential nutrients include water,<br /> carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.<br /> An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon<br /> such factors as gender and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding,<br /> illness, or drug use, make unusual demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients.<br /> Dietary guidelines, which take many of these factors into account, provide general guidance in<br /> meeting daily nutritional needs.<br /> From “Human Nutrition” by Worthington-Roberts, Bonnie, Microsoft ® Student<br /> 2009.<br /> Question 36: The first paragraph mainly discusses ______.<br /> A. chemical substances in our food<br /> B. a variety of essential nutrients to human beings<br /> C. the importance of food to human beings<br /> D. the study of human nutrition<br /> Question 37: The word “released” in the second paragraph mostly means “<br /> ”<br /> A. refused<br /> B. produced<br /> C. expressed<br /> D. renewed<br /> Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true about the process of digestion<br /> A.

According to several leading educational psychologists, this is<br /> one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be<br /> only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations<br /> can cause great damage to children.<br /> However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their<br /> children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing<br /> very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins<br /> is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him<br /> to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive<br /> him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little<br /> about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never<br /> makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s<br /> friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they<br /> set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are<br /> and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when<br /> he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now<br /> he always seems quiet and unhappy.<br /> Question 43: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to _____.<br /> A. push their child into trying too much<br /> B. help their child to become<br /> a genius<br /> C. make their child become a musician<br /> D. neglect their child’s<br /> education<br /> Question 44: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______.<br /> A. force their children into achieving success<br /> themselves have been very successful<br /> understand and help their children sensibly<br /> arrange private lessons for their children<br /> Question 45: Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?<br /> A.

Educational psychologists.<br /> Question 46: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.<br /> A. his father is a musician<br /> B. his parents are quite rich<br /> C. his mother knows little about music<br /> D. his parents help him in a<br /> sensible way<br /> <br />
