A

lbert Einstein stayed in Berlin for twenty years from 1913 to 1933. During that period he 

worked on his famous Theory of 5

Relativity. He gave a simple example, in simple language, to explain the idea of relativity. A man riding on a train drops a stone out of the window. To the man on the train, it seems that the stone

10

follows a straight path as it drops. However, to a man outside the train, the path of the stone does not seem straight; it looks like a parabola. The theory expands those of Newton and Galileo, which are correct only under certain conditions.

Einstein made very important contribution in the field of physics. The nobel prize that he won in 1921 at the age of 42 was no surprise to the scientific world. No scientist beat him in his field. What beat him was time. He died in Princeton in the America in 1955.

T

he most efficient sources of food energy are carbohydrates. Plants, grains, milk, fruits, and honey all provide this nutrient. Carbohydrates are composed of the chemical compounds of simple and complex sugars. These compounds are glucose,

fructose, sucrose, maltose, starch, and glycogen. All of these forms of sugar can be converted within the body according to supplies and demands. Basically, all sugars must

5

be converted to glucose for use by the muscles and other tissues. Sugar is stored in the body in the form of glycogen. When the glycogen storage areas in the liver and muscles are lifted,

10

the excess amounts of glucose are converted into fats and stored in limited quantities in the fat cells throughout the body. An average, well-nourished person must replenish carbohydrates supplies

15

throughout the day because the available supply of glucose will usually be depleted by only a hald-day of sedentary activities without replenishment. For an active and athletic person, the supply would last for a shorter time. Fifty-five to sixty percent of daily food intake should be in the form of carbohydrates. It should be well over 50 percent for active 20

athletes.  10. What is the topic of the passage? a.  Carbohydrates, the most efficient food energy sources b.  The composition of carbohydrates c.  How sugar stored d.  The amounts of glucose 11. According to the passage, what is providing carbohydrates? a.  Meat

c. Butter

b.  Corn

d. Cheese

12. These are compounds of carbohydrates, except... a.  Fructose

c. Glycogen

b.  Hydrogen

d. Starch

 

  13. Where is the glycogen stored? a.  Heart

c. Liver

b.  Lung

d. Brain

14. According to the passage, which is NOT TRUE? a.  Sugar is converted to glucose b.  Sugar is stored in the form of glycogen c.  Glycogen is stored in the liver d.  For athletes, the supply would last for a long time 15. How many percent of carbohydrates should be taken by active athletes? a.  Over 50%

c. 45%

b.  Less than 50%

d. 40%

16. According to the passage, the excess amounts of glucose are converted into... a.  Fats

b.  Glycogen c.  Sugars d.  Waste 17. The word “it” in line 19 19 refers to... a.  Athletic person b.  Glucose c.  The form of carbohydrates d.  Sugar 18. The word over in line 19 has a close meaning with... a.  End b.  Finish c.  Less d.  More
