Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high- quality protein, eggs also
contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart diseases. One egg yolk, in fact,
contains a little more than two- thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has driven
egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several
alternatives to eating regular eggs. One alternative is to eat substitute eggs. These eggs substitutes are not
really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They have the advantage of having
low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. One disadvantage, however, is that


they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of
egg, sometimes called "designer" eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low- flat diets
consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diet, however, these hens
produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these
eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans.
Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to
back up their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels
have brought mixed results. It may be that is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of
cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol
derived from food than other people. In fact, there is evidence that certainly dietary fats stimulate the
body's production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it still makes sense to limit one's intake of
eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help
reduce the blood cholesterol level.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people how about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes.
29. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs? A. Increasing price B. Decreased production C. Dietary changes in hens D. Concerns about cholesterol
30. What is meant by the phrase "mixed results"? A. The results are blended
B. The results are a composite of things.
C. The results are inconclusive.
D. The results are mingled together.
31. Which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"? A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
32. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit
for human consumption of cholesterol? A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
