Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
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 in 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 tyramine, phenathylamnine, 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.

A. reaction to foods C. infants and allergies B. food and nutrition D. a good diet

A. the vast number of different foods we eat

Harvard Universities, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the worlds universities came from very
inauspicious and humble beginnings.

Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of
England's prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities and these universities graduates in the New World were
determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had had. Because of this

a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school- this land was an area
called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day
university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from
tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In spite of the fact that only half
of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had
done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today's standards, but it was more than the
General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college.
