Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B or C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. (1.0 pt) The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates, nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-meaning farmers or others who do not realize the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge. 1. What is best title for this passage? A. The food you eat can affect your health. B. Harmful and Harmless substances in food. C. Avoiding injurious substances in food. D. Improving health through a Natural Diet. 2. What are nitrates used for? A. They preserve the color of meat. B. They preserve flavor in package food. C. There are objects of research. D. They cause the animals become fatter. 3. FDA means___. A. Federal Dairy Additives B. Food and Drug Administration C. Final Difficult Analysis D. Food Direct Additives 4. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ___. A. Drug are always given to animals for medical reasons B. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives since 1945 D. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the 5

Paul: Nah, you know I don’t like reality shows. I mean, they usually show people doing crazy things like, you know, eating live fish or swimming in a pool full of snakes. I don’t get into that. Brenda: Okay. Well, how about watching a documentary on the life of panda bears in the wild? Paul: Personally, I’d rather watch something with a little bit more action and suspense. Brenda: Well, then. Ah, here’s something. Do you want to watch a rerun of Star Wars? Paul: Nah, I’ve seen it a zillion times. I’d like to see something different. Brenda: Okay, let’s see here. Oh, how about this? On channel 2 at 9:00, there’s a home improvement show about fixing anything around the house. We do have a few things you could repair in the bathroom. Paul: Fixing things? Uh, boy, I’m beat. I think I’m going to hit the sack. Brenda: You’re going to bed? Paul: Yeah. I have to get up early tomorrow. Brenda: . . . and then you’re gonna fix the bathroom? Paul: Uh.

I’ll stay up and keep you company while I . . . I mean, you . . . I mean, WE watch the game. Brenda: I thought you’d change your mind. I’ll get the popcorn. II. In this evening's talk I'm going to be telling you about the peacock, which is one of the world's most spectacular birds and a great favourite in zoos and tourist attractions in many countries. The peacock is best known for its tail, which is huge and brightly coloured and, sort of, stands up behind it. People say that it looks like a fan. When the bird opens and closes this tail, it's a wonderful sight. There are two main types of peacock, the blue and the green. The green peacock lives in Southeast Asia, in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, whereas the blue peacock originally comes from India. And it's the blue peacock that you are more likely to see in other parts of the world, because it is better able to live in different climates than its green cousin. And it has been kept by humans for many centuries. In ancient cultures, blue peacocks were kept both because they looked nice and also because they were good to eat. The Ancient Romans certainly had them two thousand years ago, and there is evidence of them in Ancient Egypt three thousand years ago. But it is thought that the first culture to keep the birds were the Mesopotamians, who lived four thousand years ago. 9
10. Now, as I said earlier, the blue peacock is spectacular to look at. The bird has a long thin neck and a very small head on a big body and looks a bit like a turkey. It's only when it opens its tail that you realise how beautiful it is. The tail, which stands up behind the bird, grows to a length of over two hundred centimetres and is a wonderful shiny bluegreen colour. This tail is covered with large egg-shaped spots which are called 'eyes'. It makes a wonderful pattern and in the sunlight the colours are magnificent, the blues, greens and blacks turning to purple, black and gold. Unfortunately, it is only the male bird that has this tail because the purpose of all this wonderful display is to attract a mate. The female bird, which is actually called the peahen, is brown and rather dull looking compared to her multi-coloured mate. The male walks up and down displaying his tail to impress the female bird. It's such a famous sight that we even find reference to it in different languages. In English, for example, we have the expression 'as proud as a peacock' to describe men who take a lot of trouble over their appearance. In the wild, the peacock's natural habitat is the forest, where they live in small family groups. They like to live near water in hilly jungle areas. Although they can fly quite well, they cannot go very fast and they usually only fly for short distances, usually to escape from danger. When danger approaches, they warn each other by making loud shrieking noises. Although they spend most of their time on the ground, peacocks usually sleep in trees. They move into the lower branches in the late afternoon and then gradually move higher up as night falls. One of the best places in the world to see different types of peacocks is called Peacock Paradise and it is located in Melaka in Malaysia. There you can see both types of bird, and there's also a visitor centre which provides lots of information about peacocks and other similar birds. There's even a pool full of crocodiles to watch if you need a change from birds! If you get the chance to go, it's certainly worth a visit. 10
