In addition to providing energy, fats have other functions in the body. The fat-soluble vitamins, A,
D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good source of these vitamins have high oil or
fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain
longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten.
Fats add variety, taste and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty
deposits in body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due
mostly to strategically located fat deposits. Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to
human health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases,
their skin becomes inflamed and scaly and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids,
linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevents these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids.

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 following questions from 55 to 64.
Nineteenth-century writers in the United States, whether they wrote novels, short stories, poems,
or plays, were powerfully drawn to the railroad in its golden year. In fact, writers responded to the
railroads as soon as the first were built in the 1830's. By the 1850's, the railroad was a major presence in
the life of the nation. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau saw the railroad
both as a boon to democracy and as an object of suspicion. The railroad could be and was a despoiler of
nature; furthermore, in its manifestation of speed and noise, it might be a despoiler of human nature as
well. By the 1850's and 1860's, there was a great distrust among writer and intellectuals of the rapid
industrialization of which the railroad was a leading force. Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry
Adams lamented the role that the new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values. A
distrust of industry and business continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century
and into the twentieth.
For the most part, the literature in which the railroad plays an important role belong to popular culture
rather than to the realm of serious art. One thinks of melodramas, boys' books, thrillers, romances, and the
like rather than novels of the first rank. In the railroads' prime years, between 1890 and 1920, there were a
few individuals in the United States, most of them with solid railroading experience behind them, who
made a profession of writing about railroading-works offering the ambience of stations, yards, and
locomotive cabs. These writers, who can genuinely be said to have created a genre, the "railroad novel."
are now mostly forgotten, their names having faded from memory. But anyone who takes the time to
consult their fertile writings will still find a treasure trove of information about the place of the railroad in
the lift of the United States.

Question 58: The word "lamented" is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. analyzed B. complained about C. explained D. reflected on
Question 59: According to the passage, the railroad played a significant role in literature in all of the
following kinds of books EXCEPT ___________.

Question 64: What is the author's attitude toward the "railroad novels" and other books about railroads
