Read 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 following 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 ofheart 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 alternativesto 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 usedin 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 -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.
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 result. It may be that it 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 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 16: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary at increases the blood cholesterol level
B. To make people know about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. decreasing egg intake and fat intake D. increasing egg intake but not fat intake

It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice.
