One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol Because alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissues and membranes, the human fetus
is particularly vulnerable to its effects The reality is that the negative effects on a fetus are so
pronounced that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol
syndrome As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her bloodstream almost
simultaneously Moreover, because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the
mother, the alcohol passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother
For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system per hour However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is depends on its stage of development) The rate at which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother's system by passing across the placenta, but this process is slow By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already occurred
Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce significant, irreversible damage to the fetus Babies born after exposure to alcohol generally exhibit facial distortion,
inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering Simply speaking, it is imperative that
pregnant women avoid alcohol
Question 36: What is the main topic of this reading?

A unexplainedly B inseparably C forcefully D formerly
Question 40: According to the passage, how does the concentration of alcohol in a fetus compare to
that in the mother?
A The concentration is more B The concentration cannot be measured.
C The concentration is less D The concentration is equivalent.
Question 41: According to the passage, how is alcohol finally returned to the mother's system?
A it is not completely returned B it is expelled by the fetus's liver.
C it is transferred across the placenta D it is carried through the bloodstream.

A concentration difficulties B disfigurement of the face
