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 36 to 40.
Scientists do not yet thoroughly understand just how the body of an individual becomes sensitive to
a substance that is harmless or even wholesome for the average person. Milk, wheat, and egg, for
example, rank among the most healthful and widely used foods. Yet these foods can cause persons
sensitive to them to suffer greatly. At first, the body of the individual is not harmed by coming into contact
with the substance. After a varying interval of time, usually longer than a few weeks, the body becomes
sensitive to it, and an allergy has begun to develop. Sometimes it's hard to figure out if you have a food
allergy, since it can show up so many different ways.
Your symptoms could be caused by many other problems. You may have rashes, hives, joint pains
mimicking arthritis, headaches, irritability, or depression. The most common food allergies are to milk,
eggs, seafood, wheat, nuts, seeds, chocolate, oranges, and tomatoes. Many of these allergies will not
develop if these foods are not fed to an infant until her or his intestines mature at around seven months.
Breast milk also tends to be protective. Migraines can be set off by foods containing Tyra mine,
Phenathyla mine, monosodium glutamate, or sodium nitrate. Common foods which contain these are
chocolate, aged cheeses, sour cream, red wine, pickled herring, chicken livers, avocados, ripe bananas,
cured meats, many Oriental and prepared foods (read the labels!).
Some people have been successful in treating their migraines with supplements of B-vitamins,
particularly B6 and niacin. Children who are hyperactive may benefit from eliminating food additives,
especially colorings, and foods high in salicylates from their diets. A few of these are almonds, green
peppers, peaches, tea, grapes. This is the diet made popular by Benjamin Feingold, who has written the
book “Why your Child is Hyperactive”. Other researchers have had mixed results when testing whether
the diet is effective.
Question 36:The topic of this passage is__________.
A. Reactions to foods B. Food and nutrition C. Infants and allergies D. A good diet
Question 37:The phrase "set off" is closest in meaning to_______.
A. relieved B. identified C. avoided D. triggered
Question 38:What can be inferred about babies from this passage?
A.They can eat almost anything.
B. They should have a carefully restricted diet as infants.
C. They gain little benefit from being breast fed.
D. They may become hyperactive if fed solid food too early.
Question 39: The word "these" refers to_________.
A. Food additives C. Food colorings
B. Innutritious foods D. Foods high insalicylates
Question 40:According to the article the Feingold diet is NOT ________.
A. verified by researchers as being consistently effective B. available in book form
C. beneficial for hyperactive children D. designed to eliminate foods containing certain food additives
