Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.
1. What is the text about?
2. From the text above, we imply that ….
A. a good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier.
3. “Human body is made up of countless millions of cells.” (Paragraph 1) The phrase “made up” means ….
A. Produced
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. In the sense of “ flowing water”, the world may also be applied to inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake , which overflows or break levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its unusual boundaries.
While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and show melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area.
Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Flood often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage van be virtually eliminated by moving away from and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek the sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding.
4. What should people do to avoid the loss of their business caused by the flood?
A. Live and work by the body of water
5. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. People do not live by the river for some reasons
