In most of the earliest books for children, illustrations were an afterthought. But in the Caldecott "toy
books" which first (31) in 1878, they were almost (32) important as the lines
of text, and
occupied far more space in the book. One can almost read the story from the dramatic action in the pictures.
(33)_ then, thousands of successful picture books have been published in the United States and around the world. In the best, the words and illustrations seem to complement each other perfectly. Often a
single person
is responsible (34)
both writing and illustrating the book. One of (35)
, and
certainly one of the most successful, illustrator-authors
was
Dr. Seuss, (36) real name was Theodor
Geisel. His first children's book, And to Think That I
Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the market in
1937, and the world of children's
literature was changed forever. Seuss's playful drawings were a perfect complement to his engaging stories and (37) characters. In 1957,
Seuss's The Cat in the Hat (38)_ the first book in Random
House's best-selling series, Beginner Books, written by Seuss and several (39) authors. These combine outrageous
illustrations of people, creatures, and plants, and playful stories written (40) very simple language.

B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each
of the questions from 46 to 55.
American movies create myths about college life in the United States. These stories are entertaining, but
they are not true. You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is really like.
Thanks to the movies, many people
believe that college
students party and socialize more
than they study. Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library.
Instead,
movies show them eating,
talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties. While it is
true
that American students have the
freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities. In order to succeed, they
have to attend classes and study hard.
Another movie myth is that athletics
is the only important extracurricular
activity. In fact, there is a wide variety
of nonacademic activities on campus such as special
clubs, service organizations, art, and theater programs. This variety allows students to choose what interests them. Even more important, after graduation,
students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities.
Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education. If only this were true! While it is true that
some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes. Up to 80% of
them get some type of financial aid. Students from middle and lower-income families often work part-time throughout their college years. There is one thing that many college students have in common, but it is not something you will see in the movies. They have parents
who think higher
education is a priority, a necessary
and
important part of their children's lives.
Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic, super
intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc. Movies use these stereotypes, along with other myths of
romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements. Of course, real
college students are not like movie characters
at all.
So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies. Look at some
college websites or brochures instead. Take a walk around your local college campus. Visit a few classes. True,
you may not be able to see
the same people or exciting action you will
see
in the movies, but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic
adventures going on all around you!

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 65 to 74.
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body. Human beings
require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could not stay 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.
