Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow : Food Deserts and Nutrition1. Many of the serious health concerns in modern America can be linked to poor diet. People who regularly consume foods high in sodium, sugar, and saturated fats not only increase their chances of obesity, but also increase their risks of developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and several types of cancer. Although some people who regularly consume unhealthy foods do so knowingly, there is a significant portion of the population that remains under-educated about proper nutrition. Individuals who live in food deserts in low-income neighbourhoods that lack easy access to healthy, affordable food may not even have the opportunity to obtain nutritious food.2. Food deserts are located in high-poverty areas such as sparsely populated rural areas or densely populated, low-income urban centres. Food deserts most often develop when major supermarket chains either relocate out of these areas or simply refrain from building stores there in the first place. Major food retailer chains tend to limit their store locations to wealthier urban or suburban neighbourhoods. This means that those who live in high poverty areas often also live miles away from access to fresh meat and dairy products available at supermarkets. Residents of these areas who do not have cars have no other option but to travel long distances on public transportation to do their grocery shopping or remain limited to the food available at local convenience stores and gas stations. These types of food retailers often only sell packaged, processed foods that o er little nutritional value.3. Furthermore, fast food restaurants are disproportionately concentrated in low-income areas. Recent estimates suggest that those living in the poorest areas of a city experience I.5 times more exposure to fast food restaurants than the wealthiest inhabitants of the city. As individuals who live in food deserts tend to get their meals from fast food restaurants or convenience stores, they often suffer from a variety of health issues. Research has found that individuals who live in low-income neighbourhoods are much more likely to develop problems with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension than those who live in more affluent neighbourhoods.1. Why is a poor diet a serious health concern in modern America?a. A poor diet is a health concern because it can lead to malnutrition and decreased risk of developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and several types of cancer.b. A poor diet is a health concern because it can lead to extreme physical fitness and decreased risk of developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and several types of cancerc. A poor diet is a health concern because it can lead to obesity and increased risk of developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and several types of cancer.d. A poor diet is a health concern because it can lead to malnutrition and increased risk of developing stomach cramps, hypotension, joint pain and several types of cancer.2. How do food deserts develop?a. Food deserts often develop when major supermarket chains either relocate out of these areas or simply refrain from building stores there in the first place.b. Food deserts often develop when major supermarket chains food the market and edge out local retailers.c. Food deserts often develop when small local retailers either relocate out of these areas or simply refrain from building stores there in the first place.d. Food deserts often develop when major supermarket chains either relocate into these areas or simply begin building stores there in the first place.3. Why do people living in low income areas suffer greatly from a variety of health issues?a. People living in low income areas are most often exposed to meals from unclean restaurants. They often suffer from a variety of health issues.b. People living in low income areas are most often exposed to infrequent meals. They often suffer from a variety of health issues.c. People living in low income areas are most often exposed to meals from exclusive restaurants or organic markets. They often suffer from a variety of health issues.d.

Which types of foods increase a person's chances of obesity?a. Foods that are high in sodium, sugar, and saturated fats increase a person's chances of obesity.b. Foods that are high in protein, carbohydrates, and lipids increase a person's chances of obesity.c. Foods that are very low in sodium, sugar, and saturated fats increase a person's chances of obesity.d. Foods that are very low in nutritional value, and which have no animal proteins, are likely to increase a person's chances of obesity.9. Why do people living in food deserts need to travel long distances to do their grocery shopping?a. People who live in food deserts do not have access to packaged, processed food products due to the lack of supermarkets. So, if they want food with proper nutritional value, they have to travel long distances.b. People who live in food deserts do not have access to the full variety of fast foods, especially desserts, due to the lack of supermarkets.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow :Reading for Success1. Not too long ago, a group of teachers conducted a study on students and their learning problems. A curious fact came to light from the study. The teachers discovered that the students who did poorly in subjects such as math and art could still do very well in other subjects.But the students who were poor at reading, performed badly in all subjects.2. No doubt there are other skills involved, such as learning to add and subtract in math, but most of the explanations about how to do things have to be read by the students. Much of the assignments require students to read long sets of directions and questions. These often involve story problems that are explained in words and have to be read and understood before they can be solved.3. So, your success or failure in class depends on your ability to read and understand the study-related material. In college, almost all your study time will be spent in reading. You need more and more information and most of this information comes in the printed form. Success in various courses vastly depends on the ability to read, and students who cannot read, or at least read well enough to master the material, are in trouble.4. We are fast moving into a world where every day more and more technical reading is required. Instructions for using applications are becoming more complex. There are written instructions related to food preparation, traffic signs, travel, and safety and security, all requiring the ability to read. People in modern society read hundreds of words every day.5. The ability to procure and retain a job is directly related to your ability to read. The number of semi-skilled and professional occupations that require high reading ability is increasing rapidly. Today, a person who cannot read is almost unemployable. Even the simplest jobs require some amount of reading ability, and many people advanced to more important and better paying jobs by getting additional knowledge, skills, and qualifications through reading. The more specialised the job, the greater the need to read confidently, quickly, and efficiently.1. What did the study of a group of teachers reveal?a. The study revealed that students who did poorly in reading could still do very well in other subjects, but the students who were poor at math and art performed badly in all subjects.b. The study revealed that students who did poorly in subjects such as math and art could still do very badly in other subjects, but the students who were poor at reading performed badly in all subjects.c. The study revealed that students who did poorly in reading could still do very well in other subjects, but the students who were poor at math and art performed well in all other subjects.d. The study revealed that students who did poorly in subjects such as math and art could still do very well in other subjects, but the students who were poor at reading performed badly in all subjects.2. How are instructions for using applications becoming more complex?a. Instructions for using applications are becoming more complex with written instructions related to food preparation, traffic signs, travel, and safety and security, all requiring the ability to read.b. Instructions for using applications now have multiple steps and require assembly before use. They require a knowledge of engineering.c. Instructions for using applications are becoming more complex with written instructions related to food preparation, and safety and security, all requiring the ability to read multiple languages.d. Instructions for using applications now have multiple steps and require quality checks before use. They require a knowledge of engineering, safety rules and language.3. How is the ability to read essential in procuring and retaining a job?a. The human brain cannot retain all the knowledge one might require during the course of their job. In such instances, the ability to read and refer to relevant material is essential.b. Most entry-level jobs require degrees, which cannot be obtained without a knowledge of language and reading. Professional growth is impossible without literacy.c. Even the simplest jobs require some amount of reading ability, and many people advance to more important and better paying jobs by getting additional knowledge, skills and qualifications, through reading.d. Reading makes people better at communication in general, which helps them while looking for job opportunities. Advancing to a better job also requires a network that is formed through communication.4. Choose the correct option :The synonym of 'unusual' as given in paragraph 1 is ______.a. curiousb. discoveredc. learnd. study5. Choose the correct option :The antonym of 'clumsily' as given in paragraph 5 is ______.a. abilityb. efficientlyc. quicklyd. professional6. Choose the correct option :The synonym of 'complicated' as given in paragraph 4 is ______.a. cardiob. comprehendc. materiald. complex7. Choose the correct option :The antonym of 'slowly' as given in paragraph 5 is ______.a. relatedb. printedc. rapidlyd. affluent8. How does reading help you to do well in college?a. Reading is very important in school, but it does not matter as much in college. Most of the college student's study time involves project work. However, to be accepted to college, your performance in school needs to be impressive.b. Most of a college student's study time is spent reading to access more information. If the student cannot read well enough to understand and master the material, they will not do well in college.c. College students do not have to do any major reading as most of their study time is spent preparing for internships and presentations. Therefore, reading is not important in college.d. Reading is important in college for the student to understand the instructions that the professor gives about the various projects that the student has to do. If the instructions are not understood properly, the project will be done incorrectly.9. Choose the correct option : 'Today, a person who cannot read is almost _____."a. illiterateb. professionalc. unsuccessfuld. unemployable10. Why is reading important in math?a. In math, before any calculations can be done, the meaning and directions given in the question have to be understood by the student. If understood incorrectly, the calculations will be wrong. Therefore, reading is important in math.b. In math, reading is not important as most of the questions are number based. They do not require an impressive reading ability. Being able to read numbers and mathematical signs is enough.c. In math, the student has to read the numbers carefully to make sure that there are no mistakes in any of the calculations. Therefore, reading is important in math.d. In math, teachers need to have mastery over reading in order to explain mathematical concepts to the students. Therefore, reading is important in math. |

I. Why be a teacher? The short answer is easy ● to witness the diversity of growth in young people and their joy in learning ● to encourage lifelong learning — both for yourself and for others ● to experience the challenge of devising and doing interesting, exciting activities for the young There is more to be said about the value of teaching. Consider, for instance, the “young people” referred to above. In one class, they could be six years olds; in another, they could be sixteen or even older. They could be rich, poor or somewhere in between. There are all sorts of possibilities. But whoever the particular students are, they will have potential as human beings — possibly not yet realised — that can contribute to society. A teacher’s job — in fact, a teacher’s privilege — is to help particular “young people” to realise their potential.II. As a teacher, you will be able to lay the groundwork for lifelong learning. You will often work with students long enough to convey a crucial message: there is much in life to learn — more than any one teacher or school can provide in a lifetime. Whatever you teach, its immensity can be a source of curiosity, wonder and excitement. Learning, when properly understood, is never-ending, though it often focuses on short-term, immediate concerns. As a teacher, you will have an advantage not shared by every member of society the excuse not only to teach valuable knowledge and skills, but to point students beyond what they will be able to learn from you. III. Whatever you teach, you will be able to feel the satisfaction of designing and orchestrating complex activities that communicate new ideas and skills effectively. The challenge is attractive to many teachers, because that is where they exercise judgment and “artistry” freely and frequently. Teaching will need you to know how to explain ideas clearly, to present new materials in a sensible sequence and at an appropriate pace, to point out connections between their new learning and their prior experiences.IV. The complexity of classroom life guarantees that teaching never needs to get boring. Something new and exciting is bound to occur when you least expect it. A student shows an insight that you never expected to see — or fails to show one that you were sure he had. After teaching a particular learning objective several times, you realise that you understand it differently than the first time you taught it. The job never stays the same; it evolves continually. As long as you keep teaching, you will have a job with novelty.1. Which of these BEST describes the organisation of the passage? A. comparing and contrasting information from different sources B. bringing in personal accounts of different people to make a point C. introducing certain points and explaining them in subsequent paragraphs D. reminiscing about events that happened in the past to support the details given2. What are the authors MOST LIKELY referring to when they say 'short-term, immediate concerns'?Learning, when properly understood, is never-ending, even though it often focuses on short-term, immediate concerns. A. the excessive focus on quick memorisation of facts B. the need to create lesson plans to cater to different grade levels C. the emphasis on learning concepts with a clear understanding of them D. the need to have meticulous plans to help students develop self-learning habits3. What is the meaning of 'orchestrating' in the above line? ...you will be able to feel the satisfaction of designing and orchestrating complex activities... A. analysing and evaluating something beforehand B. planning and organising something carefully C. explaining the difficulty in doing something D. introducing something spontaneously4. By instilling lifelong learning in children, teachers can ensure that students __________. A. share innovative ideas with the teachers in classB. understand the importance of schools and colleges C. respect their teachers for their roles in shaping their future D. build confidence to acquire skills and adapt to different challenges in life5. Which of these conveys the meaning of 'artistry' as used in the above line? ...because that is where they exercise judgment and “artistry” the most freely and frequently. A. the ability to follow something exceptionally B. the ability to create something new and valuable C. the ability to appreciate something wholeheartedly D. the ability to criticise something in a constructive manner6. Which of these options supports the above statement? A teacher’s job — in fact, a teacher’s privilege — is to help particular “young people” to realise their potential. A. As a teacher, you will have an advantage not shared by every member of society... B. Teaching will need you to know how to explain ideas clearly, to present new materials in a sensible sequence...C. After teaching a particular learning objective several times, you realise that you understand it differently... D. The job never stays the same; it evolves continually. 7. Which of these can be a suitable summary of the passage? A. The passage uses empty facts to glorify the teachers and their role in society. B. The passage introduces teachers to different ways of creating engaging activities.C. The passage describes the role of a teacher in developing the foundational skills of a child. D. The passage compares the role of teachers with those of other professions in nation-building.8. Select the option that correctly explains the relationship between (1) and (2).(1) Learners come from all walks of life and display great diversity in classrooms.(2) The role of a teacher is extremely challenging as it requires them to cater to the different needs of each child. A. (2) furthers the meaning of (1).B. (1) is the opposite of (2).C. (1) is the cause of (2). D. (2) negates (1).9. According to the details given in the passage, select the option that highlights the MANDATORY qualities that a teacher must have. i) creative ii) quick-thinker iii) avid reader iv) emotionally maturev) believes in a strict routine vi) should be well-versed in various languages A. i), ii) and iv) B. i), iii) and v) C. ii), iv) and v) D. iv), v) and vi)10. Which of these is a VALID conclusion according to the given line?Something new and exciting is bound to occur just when you least expect it. A. Teachers should surprise the students in the class.B. Teachers should share sensitive information in the class. C. Teachers should allow students to share new findings with everyone. D. Teachers should look out for different learning opportunities for themselves. |
