passage

below

and

answer

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

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, phenethylamine, 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.

Read

the

passage

below

and

answer

questions.

The ability to conduct electricity is one of the key properties of a metal. Other solid material such as
silicon can conduct electricity but only effectively at certain temperatures. Also, some substances
such as salt (sodium chloride) can conduct when molten or when dissolved in water. The ability of
metals to conduct electricity is due to how their atoms bond together. In order to bond together the
metal atoms lose at least one of their outermost electrons. This leaves the metal atoms with a
positive charge and they are now strictly ions. The lost electrons are free to move in what are known
as a sea of electrons. Since the electrons are negatively charged they attract the ions and this is
what keeps the structure together. An electric current is a flow of charge and since the electrons in
the sea of electrons are free to move they can be made to flow in one direction when a source of
electrical energy such as a battery is connected to the metal. Hence we have an electric current
flowing through the wire, and this is what makes metals such good conductors of electricity. The only
other common solid conducting material that pencil users are likely to encounter is graphite (what
the ‘lead’ of a pencil is made from). Graphite is a form of carbon and again the carbon atoms bond
in such a way that there is a sea of electrons that can be made to flow as an electric current. Likewise,
if we have an ionic substance like salt we can make the electrically charged ions flow to create a
current but only when those ions are free to move, either when the substance is a liquid or dissolved
in water. In its solid state an ionic substance like salt cannot conduct electricity as its charged ions
cannot flow. Electrical insulators are substances that cannot conduct electricity well either, because
they contain no charged particles or any charged particles they might contain do not flow easily.
Water itself is a poor conductor or electricity as it does not contain a significant amount of fully
charged particles (the ends of a water molecule are partly charged but overall the molecule is
neutral). However, most water we encounter does contain dissolved charged particles, so it will be

more conductive than pure water. Many of the problems that occur when touching electrical devices
with wet hands result from the ever-present salt that is left on our skin through perspiration and it
dissolves in the water to make it more conductive.

A. one of the most important properties of metals

A. it has free electrons

B. its charged ions can flow easily
