Everything starts off fairly predictably - a young halo-American kid, mixed up with the local Mafia - it

VIII.Read the passage below and choose the correct answer by circling A, B, C or D. (5 pts)
Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age. A study done by the
University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the
general population. Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more than six colds in their first
year. Boys have more colds than girls up to age three. After the age of three, girls are more susceptible
than boys and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys’ two.
The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity. Elderly people who are in good
health have as few as one or two colds annually. One exception is found among people in their
twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because people in this age group are
most likely to have young children. Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties
experience the same sudden increase in cold infections.
The study also found that economics plays an important role. As income increases, the frequency
at which colds are reported in the family decreases. Families with the lowest income suffer about a
third more colds than families at the lower ends. Lower income generally forces people to live in more
cramped quarters those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the
opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also adversely
influence diet. The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly
established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally. Question 1.
Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “particulars”? A. minor errors B. specific facts C. poverty D. individual people Question 2.
According to the passage, factors involved in susceptibility to colds are ________. A. age and economics B. youth and maturity C. poverty and wealth D. sex and income Question 3.
What does the author claim about the study discussed in the passage?
A. It contains many inconsistencies.
B. It specializes in children.
C. It contradicts the results of earlier studies in the field.
D. Its result apparently are relevant for the population as a whole. Question 4.
It may be inferred from the passage that which of the following groups of
people is most likely to catch colds? A. infant boys B. Young girls C. Teenage boys D. Elderly women 4 Question 5.
The phrase “in this age groups” refers to _______. A. infants
B. people in their twenties
C. people in their thirties or forties D. elderly people
