 The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the 
body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the 
nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first 
time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods 
provided different amounts of these essential agents. Near the end of this era, research studies 
demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be 
rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods.
 The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called 
"the vitamin period. " Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were 
described. As vitamins became recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it 
became tempting to suggest that every disease and condition for which there had been no previous III.Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the 
questions .(2 points ) 
 Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with 
care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. 
Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between 
finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to 
find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to 
where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
 Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to 
begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, 
and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to 
travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” 
There are no right or wrong answers ; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job 
features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank 
them in order of importance to you.
 The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all 
day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that 
involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and 
employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found 
only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail 
sales are found in all regions of the country.
 If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, 
such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases 
along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
 Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive 
or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a 
plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have 
merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without 
sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as 
you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new 
opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
