Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced than that of the ancient. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our bodies. There are on the market all kinds of vitamin pills which one can take to make up for one’s lack of certain important things which are needed for normal health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food that we eat will take care of our bodies without these pills and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamin pills unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something which can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our bodies, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay no attention to others, we may have too much of one kind of chemical substance and not enough of others. Then, we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary protein. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much of any. 76. According to the passage, we now know ___. A. more and more about food and health B. food and health C. how to keep fit and stay healthy D. health is not important 77. People take certain vitamin pills when they ___.

(1 pts) Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer: True (T), False (F). Once there were lots of pandas in the mountain of Western China. Today they are becoming extinct. The reason is that they cannot find enough food. Pandas eat bamboo leaves. They do not like another food. The bamboo grows very slowly. It can take 10 years for a bamboo to grow from a seed to a big plant. Some types of bamboo have seeds every 60 years. Pandas must wait many years for their food to grow. While the bamboo is growing, pandas do not have enough leaves to eat. Farmers are using more and more of the land on the mountain side to grow food for man. The farmers cut down the bamboo. Bamboo leaves become less plentiful. Pandas cannot find enough food to eat. They starve and die. China and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) are trying to save the panda. In 1979 they began to set up special parks where pandas live. One such park is the Wolong Reserve in Sichuan. The Wolong Reserve has the highest number of pandas in the world. Scientists come here to study the panda’s eating and mating habits. By learning more about the panda’s habits, scientists can save it from extinction. 101. There are many pandas in China nowadays. 102. Some kinds of bamboo grow quickly. 103. The favourite food for pandas is the bamboo leaves. 104.
