warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain the heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain 
diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by chemical 
substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, 
minerals, and water. 
 When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion. Digestion begins in the mouth 
by the action of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes, certain 
proteins that help break down food. Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and the 
small intestine, where digestive enzymes and acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the 
digestive tract. Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and 
carried to the sites in the body where they are needed. At these sites, several chemical reactions occur, 
which ensures the growth and function of body tissues. The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to 
move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces. 
 Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to maintain its 
many functions. Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy needed to raise one 
kilogram of water one degree Celsius. In nutrition discussions, scientists use the term calorie instead of 
kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition. 
 Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential. Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in the body 
and do not need to be obtained from food. Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance present in all 
animal cells. Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body either does not 
produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health. Essential nutrients 
include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. 
 An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as gender 
and age. Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use, make unusual 
demands on the body and increase its need for nutrients. Dietary guidelines, which take many of these 
factors into account, provide general guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64. 
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a 
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which 
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will 
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. 
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are 
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very 
supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him 
a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 
50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his 
father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if 
he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful 
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are 
and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. 
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
