The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food
more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent
of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the
colon. People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain illnesses because of the characteristic foods they
consume.
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realised that nitrates and nitrites
(commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic
additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels
of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this,
penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purpose, but for financial reasons. The farmers are
simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug
Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-
meaning farmers or others who do not realise the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.
56. How has science done a disservice to people?
A. Because of science, disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually eradicated
B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food
C. As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to food

D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables
57. The word “fit” is closest in meaning to__________.
A. Athletic B. Suitable C. Tasty D. Adaptable
58. The word “prone” is nearest in meaning to__________.
A. Supine B. Unlikely C. Healthy D. Predisposed
59. What are nitrates used for?
A. They preserve flavor in packaged foods B. They preserve the color of meats
C. They are the objects of research D. They cause the animals to become fatter
60. FDA means__________.
A. Food Direct Additives B. Final Difficult Analysis
C. Food and Drug Administration D. Federal Dairy Additives
61. The word “these” refers to__________.
A. Meats B. Colors C. Researchers D. Nitrates and nitrites
62. The word “carcinogenic” is closest in meaning to__________.
A. Trouble-making B. Color-retaining C. Money-making D. Cancer-causing
63. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT__________.
A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons
B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals
C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of food additives for more than forty-five years
D. Food may cause forty percent of the cancer in the world
64. The word “additives” is closest in meaning to___________.
A. Added substances B. dangers substances C. Natural substances D. Beginning substances
65. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Harmful and Harmless Substances in Food B. The Food You Eat Can Effect Your Health
C. Improving Health Through a Natural Diet D. Avoiding Injurious Substances in Food

consume.
That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realised that nitrates and nitrites
(commonly used to preserve color in meats) as well as other food additives caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic
additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients on the packaging labels
of processed food are helpful or harmful.
The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because of this,
penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.
Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purpose, but for financial reasons. The farmers are
simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug

Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.
A healthy diet is directly related to good health. Often we are unaware of detrimental substances we ingest. Sometimes well-
meaning farmers or others who do not realise the consequences add these substances to food without our knowledge.
