The following text is for questions 17 to 20.

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

       The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva containing digestive juices 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, mixing and moving the food onwards.

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

17.   Where does the first digestive process take place?

A.    In the mouth.
B.    In the stomach.
C.    In the esophagus.

Jadi, makanan dapat dicerna dengan mudah karena telah dibasahi dengan air liur.

19.   What is digestion?

John’s Bright Idea
       Mrs. Walter was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. One morning she told her children about a family which she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife who took care of him and their little boy, and could not go out to work. The little boy — named Tom — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry and Clara, “he is such a help to his mother. He wishes to earn some money very much but I can’t see what he can do.”
       After their mother had left the room, the children sat thinking about little Tom. “I wish we could help him earn money,” said little Clara. “So do I,” said Harry. For some moments John said nothing. Suddenly he sprang to his feet and said, “I have an idea!” The other children also jumped to attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know the big box of corn Uncle Sam sent us for popping? Well, we can pop it and put it into paper bags and Tom can take it round the houses to sell.”
       When Mrs. Walter heard John’s idea, she too thought it was a good one. Very soon the children were busy popping the corn, while their mother went out to buy the paper bags. When she came back, she brought Tom with her. In a short time, he started out on his new business and much sooner than could be expected, returned with an empty basket.Tucked into one of his mittens were two dollars. He had never earned so much money before in his life. When he found that it was all to be his, he was so delighted he could hardly speak, but his bright smiling face spoke for him.
       After he had run home to take the money to his mother, John said, “We have enough corn left to send Tom out many more times. May we do it again?” “Yes,” said Mrs. Walter, “you may send him every Saturday morning if you pop the corn for him. John, will you agree to take charge of the work?” “Indeed I will,” replied John, and he kept his word. For many weeks, every Saturday morning, no matter what plan was on foot, no matter how good the coasting or skating, he ensured that all the corn was popped, the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket before Tom arrived. People began to watch for the “little pop-corn boy” and every week he had at least a half dollar to take home and often more. All this was because of John’s bright idea, and the way he carried it out.
