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 questions
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food,
and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments
Trang 22
They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt
to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later
retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and
how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single
stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of
learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills

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 questions
Human Nutrition is the study of how food affects the health and survival of the human body Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health Without food, our bodies could not stay warm, build or repair tissue,
or maintain the heartbeat Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs These and other important functions are fueled by chemical substances in our food called nutrients Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water
When we eat a meal, nutrients are released from food through digestion Digestion begins in the mouth by the action
of chewing and the chemical activity of saliva, a watery fluid that contains enzymes, certain proteins that help break down food Further digestion occurs as food travels through the stomach and the small intestine, where digestive enzymes and
Trang 44
acids liquefy food and muscle contractions push it along the digestive tract Nutrients are absorbed from the inside of the small intestine into the bloodstream and carried to the sites in the body where they are needed At these sites, several chemical reactions occur, which ensures the growth and function of body tissues The parts of foods that are not absorbed continue to move down the intestinal tract and are eliminated from the body as feces
Once digested, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the body with the energy it needs to maintain its many
functions Scientists measure this energy in kilocalories, the amount of energy needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius In nutrition discussions, scientists use the term calorie instead of kilocalorie as the standard unit of measure in nutrition
Nutrients are classified as essential or nonessential Nonessential nutrients are manufactured in the body and do not need to be obtained from food Examples include cholesterol, a fatlike substance present in all animal cells Essential nutrients must be obtained from food sources, because the body either does not produce them or produces them in amounts too small to maintain growth and health Essential nutrients include water, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals
An individual needs varying amounts of each essential nutrient, depending upon such factors as gender and age Specific health conditions, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, illness, or drug use, make unusual demands on the body
and increase its need for nutrients Dietary guidelines, which take many of these factors into account, provide general
guidance in meeting daily nutritional needs

a nutritional needs b dietary guidelines c unusual demands d general guidance
