The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the American
colonies was the slow evolution of cities in the former and their rapid growth in the latter.
In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present
urban structure. In North America, they started as wilderness communities and
developed to mature urbanisms in little more than a century. In the early colonial day in
North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are
now New America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic United States and in the
lower Saint Lawrence valley in Canada. This was natural because these areas were
nearest England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods
(assets such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported Merchandising
establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from which
goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements. Here, too, were the favored
locations for processing raw materials prior to export. Boston, Philadelphia, New York,
Montreal, and other cities flourished, and, as the colonies grew, these cities increased in
importance.
This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms,
known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further
north along the Atlantic coastline. The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency
of the plantations were antagonistic to the development of the towns. The plantations
maintained their independence because they were located on navigable streams and
each had a wharf accessible to the small shipping of that day. In fact, one of the
strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have it front on a
water highway.
When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a
single city as large as 50,000 inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 10,000
people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one million. It was not until after
1823, after the mechanization of the spinning had weaving industries that cities started
drawing young people away from farms. Such migration was particularly rapid following
the Civil War (1861-1865).

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 effective treatment might
be responsive to vitamin therapy. At that point in time, medical schools started to
become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the
basic sciences. Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of vitamin
deficiency symptoms. Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance
to denial of the value of nutritional therapies in medicine. Reckless claims were made
for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually be achieved from the
use of them.
In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin
therapy began to fall into disrepute. Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical
schools also became less popular. It was just a decade before this that many drug
companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply
practicing physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the
virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions. Expectations as to
the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated. As is known in retrospect,
vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis
conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to
chronic health problems

21. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The effects of vitamins on the human body
B. The history of food preferences from the nineteenth century to the present
C. Nutritional practices of the nineteenth century
D. The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study

22. It can be inferred from the passage that medical schools began to teach concepts of
nutrition in order to ….
A. medical doctors to participate in research studies on nutrition
B. encourage medical doctors to apply concepts of nutrition in the treatment of
disease
C. program convince doctors to conduct experimental vitamin therapies on their
treatment
D. support the creation of artificial vitamins

23. Why did vitamin therapy begin losing favor in the 1950’s?
A. The public lost interest in vitamins
B. Medical schools stopped teaching nutritional concepts
C. Nutritional research was of poor quality
D. Claims for the effectiveness of vitamin therapy were seen to exaggerated
