In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have high oil or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body's fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to remain longer in the stomach, this increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten. Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known. When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other animals but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an essential nutrient for humans.
The phrase ‘these abnormalities’ in line 10 and 11 refers to
A. a condition caused by fried food
B. strategically located fat deposits
C. curves on the human female body
D. cessation of growth, bad skin, and damaged reproductive s

“these abnormalities” nhắc đến những điều ở câu trước đó: When rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids.
Tạm dịch: Khi những con chuột được ăn chất béo quá độ thì tăng trưởng của chúng sẽ chấm dứt, da của chúng bị viêm và có vảy, hệ sinh sản bị phá hủy. Hai axit béo, linoleic và axit arachidonic, ngăn chặn những bất thường và do đó được gọi là những axit béo thiết yếu.

Ngoài việc cung cấp năng lượng, chất béo còn có một số chức năng khác trong cơ thể. Các vitamin A,D, E và K được hòa tan trong chất béo như tên của nó. Nguồn cung cấp các vitamin có dầu cao hoặc hàm lượng chất béo, và các vitamin được lưu trữ trong các mô mỡ của cơ thể. Trong chế độ ăn kiêng, chất béo gây ra việc thức ăn giữ lâu trong dạ dày do đó tăng cảm giác no trong một thời gian dài sau khi ăn. Chất béo cho thêm nhiều hương vị và cùng với thức ăn, chiếm phần lớn trong các loại thực phẩm chiên. Mỡ trong cơ thể có thể cách nhiệt và bảo vệ. Các đường cong của phụ nữ chủ yếu là do sự phân bổ một cách đầy chiến lược của chất béo.
Dù vậy có một lượng chất béo nhất định trong chế độ ăn kiêng là cần thiết đối với sức khỏe con người thì không phải chắc chắn đều được biết đến. Khi những con chuột được ăn chất béo quá độ thì tăng trưởng của chúng sẽ chấm dứt, da của chúng bị viêm và có vảy, hệ sinh sản bị phá hủy. Hai axit béo, linoleic và axit arachidonic, ngăn chặn những bất thường và do đó được gọi là những axit béo thiết yếu. Chúng cũng được đòi hỏi phải có bởi một số loại động vật khác nhưng vai trò của chúng trong loài người đang gây tranh cãi. Hầu hết các chuyên gia dinh dưỡng xem xét axit béo linoleic là một chất dinh dưỡng cần thiết cho con người.

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 from 35 to 42.
A newborn baby can see, hear and feel. By the age of five, a child can talk, ride a bike and invent imaginary friends. How does this development happen? We don't understand the way language, thinking and planning develop very well. Now scientists are using new technology to ‘see’ into children's brains. And they are discovering new information about the way a baby's brain develops.
A study in 2010 showed that the experiences a child has in their first few years affect the development of the brain. It showed that children who received more attention often had higher IQs. The brain of a newborn baby has nearly a hundred billion neurons. This is the same number as an adult's brain. As they grow, a baby receives information through the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. This information creates connections between different parts of the brain. At the age of three, there are a hundred trillion connections.
One experiment looked at images of babies' brains while they were listening to different sounds. The sounds were in different sequences. For example, one sequence was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern ‘A-B-B’. Another sequence was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern ‘A-B-C’. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during ‘A-B-B’ patterns. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. This experiment is interesting because sequences of words are important to grammar and meaning. Compare two sentences with the same words in a different order: ‘John killed the bear’ is very different from ‘The bear killed John.’ So babies are starting to learn grammatical rules from the beginning of life.
Researchers also know that babies need to hear a lot of language in order to understand grammar rules. But there is a big difference between listening to television, audio books or the internet, and interacting with people. One study compared two groups of nine-month-old American babies. One group watched videos of Mandarin Chinese sounds. In the other group, people spoke the same sounds to the babies. The test results showed that the second group could recognise different sounds, however the first group learned nothing. The scientist, Patricia Kuhl, said this result was very surprising. It suggests that social experience is essential to successful brain development in babies.
