Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the question 1 to 10:
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 caused 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 egg 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 baking. 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-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets,
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.
Egg 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 it is not the type of egg 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 certain 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.
Question 1: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.

C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

Question 5: According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily

A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
