Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells
and replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into
substance that can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed, this process
is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes places in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into
small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the
mouth. Saliva contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach.
Here, the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours.
Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are
squeezing, mixed and moving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. There are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projections from the intestine walls) walls and passed into the
bloodstream.

2. How can we swallow the food easily?

a. The food changes into acids absorbed by the will
b. The food must be digested first through the process

e. The food we take must be changed into substances carried in the blood to the places
Answer: b

a. a good process of digestive system will help our body becoming healthier.
b. no one concerned with the process of digestive system for their health.

The following text is for number 6-10!

Acid rain is rain that is highly acidic because of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and other air
pollutants dissolved in it. Normal rain is slightly acidic, with a pH of 6. Acid rain may have a
pH value as low as 2.8.

Acid rain can severely damage both plant and animal life. Certain lakes, for example, have
lost all fish and plant life because of acid rain.

Acid rain comes from sulfur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulfur dioxide (SO₂).
Most sulfur leaves factory chimneys as the gaseous sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and most nitrogen
oxides (NO ᴏr NO₂), both of which are gasses. The gasses may be dry deposited-absorbed
directly by the land, by lakes or by the surface vegetation. If they are in the atmosphere for
anytime, the glasses will oxidize (gain an oxygen atom) and go into solution as acids.
Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) and the nitrogen oxides will become nitric acid (HNO₃). The acids
usually dissolve in cloud droplets and may travel great distances before being precipitated
as acid rain. Catalysts such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, and ammonium help promote the
formation of acid in clouds. More ammonium (NH₄) can be formed when some of the acids
are partially neutralized by airborne ammonia (NH₃). Acidification increases with the number
of active hydrogen (H⁺) ions dissolved in acid. Hydrocarbons emitted by, for example, car
exhaust will react in sunlight with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Although it is invaluable
in the atmosphere, low-level ozone causes respiratory problems and also hastens the
formation of acid rain. When acid rain falls on the ground it dissolves and liberates heavy
metals and aluminum (Al). When it is washes into lakes, aluminum irritates the outer
surfaces of many fish. As acid rain falls or drains into the lake the pH of the lake falls.
Forests suffer the effect of acid rain through damage to leaves, through the loss of vital
nutrients, and through the increased amounts of toxic metals liberated by acid, which
damage roots and soil microorganisms.
