PART II: Reading

*Read the following passage and circle the best answer for each of the following
questions.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin used to treat and prevent a wide variety of
conditions. Often, people use it to prevent or treat the common cold. However, there are
other claimed uses of vitamin C as well, such as for reducing the risk of heart disease.
Some of these uses are more valid than others.
The vitamin has several different effects in the human body, such as:
- Antioxidant - Many of the effects of vitamin C can be attributed to its antioxidant
effects. As an antioxidant, it helps prevent the formation of free radicals, damaging
molecules or atoms that can start a chain reaction of cellular damage. Free radicals play a
role in various age-related conditions, such as cancer and heart disease.
- Immune function - There are numerous different proposed mechanisms by which
vitamin C may improve immune function. At this time, it is not entirely clear how the
vitamin stimulates the immune system.
- Iron absorption - Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron from the digestive tract into
the body.
- Various metabolic pathways and synthesis processes - It is important for many different
crucial processes in the body, including forming cartilage and proteins and building or
breaking down numerous other compounds or tissues in the body.
Vitamin C may be effective for several different uses. However, there is much
controversy about some uses, such as for the common cold.
Most people do not experience side effects with vitamin C (at normal doses). However,
some people may experience side effects (especially with high doses), including, but not
limit to nausea, vomiting, heartburn or indigestion, insomnia, kidney stones. Normal
doses are probably safe for most people, but high doses can cause problems. Some people
may be more likely to experience problems due to vitamin C.

Decongestants, Antihistamines and Cough Medicines

Decongestants and antihistamines come in many forms, including ingredients found in
multi-symptom cold relief drugs. Decongestants are often found in daytime cold medicines
because they may keep you awake. Antihistamines are frequently included in nighttime cold
medicines as they make most people drowsy.
Most of the time, a cough doesn’t require treatment. A cough from a cold or the flu will
usually go away on its own. Sometimes cough medicines are used if your cough is keeping you
awake or interfering with your daytime activities.
Some types of cough should not be treated with cough medicines because the cough is
helping to keep the lungs clear so you can breathe. Examples include a cough caused by
smoking, emphysema, pneumonia, asthma or chronic bronchitis.
Dextromethorphan and guaifenesin are sometimes combined with each other (one brand
name: Robitussin DM). They are also available in combination with other drugs, such as pain
relievers, decongestants or antihistamines. These combination products (such as multi-symptom
cold medicines) are meant to treat many symptoms at once. However, if your main symptom is
cough, be careful of the drying effect of antihistamines and decongestants in combination
medicines. This effect can make mucus thicker and harder to clear from the airways, which can
make a cough worse.
