Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need．It has been demonstrated（證明）that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins(維生素) to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles．When a fragrant（香的）flavor（作料）was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rats did seem to prefer it and kept drinking it ,even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water．In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were．
In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them．They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in．We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet．
So, in choosing food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them．Apparently, there is a kind of “body wisdom”, which humans soon lose．Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could．Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-formed habits．Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs．So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them．
In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rats’ drinking water to _____________ .
A．encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched water
B．test whether rats know which drink is good for them
C．find out rats’ preference in flavor
D．demonstrate the vitamins are tasteless
According to the passage ,adults eating habits differ from those of babies because_________．
A．adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their health
B．adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods
C．adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns
D．adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
The author implied in the passage that most of us_________．
A．eat a balanced diet
B．choose the food that is of nutrition
C．have the habits influenced by the surroundings
D．like to eat the food with a fragrant flavor．
As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_________．
A．both prefer flavored food and drink
B．both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
C．both have the same eating patterns
D．both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors

In 1931, it was discovered that some unknown substance present only in certain foods was necessary for good health. This substance was what is now called “Vitamin A”.
Vitamin A's biggest job is to keep the eyes going. Without it, people and animals get “night blindness” and eye problems. Lack of Vitamin A for a long time can even cause total blindness, particularly among children. This had a chance to be tested in Denmark during World Was I. Because of food shortage, many children had to eat man-made butter and skim milk（脫脂奶）, which contains no Vitamin A. Soon, they developed eye diseases. It was after they were given real butter and whole milk that they had no eye problems.
After Vitamin A was discovered, it took more than thirty years of experiments for scientists to be able to get a small amount of pure Vitamin A. Vitamin A is manufactured and is used successfully to treat a number of diseases. You can easily get enough Vitamin A by eating a variety of food. Good sources of Vitamin A are liver（肝臟） from some animals and dairy products such as milk and cream. Not only many vegetables contain carotene（胡蘿卜素）, from which your liver can make its own Vitamin A, some fruits also provide carotene which helps your liver to supply Vitamin A. As long as you are getting Vitamin A from food you won't need to take any extra in the form of liquid or pills.
(1)According to the passage, if Vitamin A is not provided enough, which of the following are likely to be affected most se riously?
[ ]
(2) Vitamin A is a very. important substance mainly because it _______.
[ ]
A．is hard to made
B．helps to keep one's eyes healthy
C．can make butter more delicious
D．can not be produced in large quantity
(3) What made the children in Denmark get eye diseases during World War I?
[ ]
A．The war they experienced.
B．Their poor housing conditions.
C．The experiments on food.
D．The lack of Vitamin A in their food.
(4) According to the text, the following are all good sources of Vitamin A except _______.

(5) Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
