Reading comprehension Read the two passages carefully and choose the best answers.AWhen people have enough vitamins B, their appetite (食欲) is good and their nerves are calm. Vitamins B in the diet come from some meats and vegetables, Milk, cottage cheese, and whole grains.When a grain is processed (加工), it loses vitamins. For example, there is a big difference between brown and white rice. When rice is processed, the brown outside is lost. The brown outside of rice has important vitamins B than processed rice.Vitamin C keeps the cells of the body together. It helps skin tissue (组织) recover from cuts and burns. Vitamin C in the diet comes from tomatoes, citrus (柑橘) fruits like lemons and oranges, and some vegetables such as cabbage and green peppers.Vitamin D is called “sunshine” Vitamin. When people sit outside, ultraviolet rays (紫外线) from the sun change fat in their skin to vitamin D. Vitamin D is also in cod liver oil and the yellow of eggs. It is sometimes added to milk. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium(钙). It helps build strong bones, and it prevents a disease in children that is called rickets (软骨病). When children have this disease, their bones bend because they do not become hard. Rickets is seldom found in sunny, tropical countries. Rickets is more common in countries that have long winters with little sunshine, in cities that have pollution that keeps the sun out, and in towns surrounded by mountains that keep the sun out.1. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that_. A. unprocessed grains contain more B vitaminsB. vitamins B harm digestion (消化) C. milk contains more vitamins B than meat D. white rice has lost all its vitamins B 2. We can infer from the third paragraph that_.A. vitamin D quickens the growth of children B. vitamin D is only found in the sunshineC. people living near the North Pole often have health problems caused by the lack of vitamin D D. milk contains much vitamin D 3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The outside of rice also contains certain vitamins.B. Vitamin C can come from sunshine and some kinds of vegetables.C.

When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over you body. You dont want to work, and you stay in bed, felling very sad. What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you cant find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope(显微镜).They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing. Germs are always found in dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water, Germs arent found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut, some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red, and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body, and you would have pain everywhere.5. Which of the following is true? A.
