Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They spent their child-hood in little wooden rooms. They got little education.

閱讀理解:閱讀下列短文, 從所給的四個選項中, 選出最佳答案。
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 (證實) 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 flavor (香味) was added to the vitamin—enriched liquid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched (轉) to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
In an experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria (自助食堂) 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 over a period of time they managed to select a well balanced diet (飲食).
So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Clearly, 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 (影 響) by long-established 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.
(1)In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to ________.
[ ]
A. encourage rats to drink it
B. find out what kind of flavor rats prefer

D. demonstrate that vitamins are tasteless
(2)The expression "the habit" in the first paragraph refers to drinking water which __________.
[ ]
A. has no smell B. is tasteless

[ ]
A. both have the wisdom to choose a balanced diet
B. both prefer flavored food and drink
C. both have the same eating patterns
D. both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors
(4)In the experiment mentioned in the second paragraph, babies were _________.
A. given many choices of drinks
B. provided with various kinds of baby food
C. placed and fed in a cafeteria
D. trained to select a balanced diet
(5)According to the passage, adults' (成年人) eating habits differ from those of babies because ____________.
[ ]

B. adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foods
C. adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customs
