Soy is rich in calcium and iron. It is low in fat and is cholesterol free.
Taking soy is beneficial to us because the phytoestrogens is effective in
preventing calcium loss, enhancing calcium absorption and increasing
bone density. Hence, people who suffer from anaemia need to take in
more soy as it is the most ideal source of iron and calcium.

Questions 26-31 are based on the following passage which is about the writer’s journey to Poon
Hill.
1 Shangri- La is a place surrounded by snow-capped mountains where people
live peacefully to a hundred years. The air is supposed to be pure with flowers
everywhere. This was not so in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. The town was dusty
with outdated motor vehicles spewing white smoke from inefficient engines. I was on
my way to the base camp of Annapurna, a mountain of Nepal. 5
2 The next day, I proceeded to Pokara, the starting point of the trek. The start of
the journey was behind some shacks at the side of a shallow ravine where some
Tibetan ladies were selling trinkets to tourist. Once the trekking started it was like a
dream come true. The air was very pure because there were no motor vehicles of any
kind except helicopters which flew overhead. 10
3 We crossed suspension bridges like the ones in Indiana Jones movies. The trek
was uphill all the time with little respite. Now and then we came to broad flat ledges
but after that it was climbing up and up again. I took my time and admired the sow-
capped mountains and the rustic villages I passed through. All the time I was
conscious of the fresh air I was breathing in. It was invigorating, mostly because it 15
had always been my dream to trek the foothills of the Himalayas.
4 I had chosen the right season- the rains had stopped and the rhododendrons
which grew in bushes and trees were in full bloom. Walking through a forest of
rhododendrons was more like the Shangri-La I had dreamed of. Moss hung from the
branches of these century-old trees. As I sat down to appreciate the vista which 20
spread before me, I heard the porter whistling as he carried my heavy bag past me.
5 Nights were spent in little huts along the trek. It was cold and bathing was a
problem except in rest lodges which had hot water. They used solar power and since
the sun was hardly out when I was there, hot water was in s hort supply. Food was
interesting. It was mainly western food – apple pies and pizzas were common. 25
6 At Chomron, I had to wake up at 4 am and walked up Poon Hill in the dark. I
