Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Circle A, B, C or D to indicate your answers.
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,


Page 3



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 32- What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
B. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten.
D. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
Question 33- According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. vitamins D. canola oil
Question 34- Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat' in the passage?
A. indefinitely B. in fact C. a little D. a lot
Question 35- According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. dietary changes in hens B. decreased production
C. increasing price D. concerns about cholesterol.
Question 36- According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily
limit for human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 2/3 D. 3/4
Question 37- The word 'portrayed' in the passage could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. described B. studied C. destroyed D. tested
Question 38- What is the meaning of the phrase 'back up' in the passage?
A. reverse B. advance C. support D. block
Question 39- What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results' in the passage?
A. The results are blended. B. The results are inconclusive.
C. The results are a composite of things. D. The results are mingled together.
Question 40- According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs
except?

A. scrambled B. fried C. poached D. boiled
Question 41- According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A. reducing egg intake but not fat intake
B. increasing egg intake and fat intake
C. increasing egg intake but not fat intake
D. decreasing egg intake and fat intake

Hot weather makes your heart pump harder, and if you‟re not very fit,
you start to understand why the majority of mountain rescue statistics are
made up from summer walkers suffering heart attacks. Heart exhaustion is
quite easy to get when you‟re making a great physical effort. It happens
where your body can‟t produce enough sweat to keep you cool.
The answer is to keep up your water intake. It‟s a good idea to drink a
pint of water for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit every 24 hours. So, if the
temperature is in the 70s, and you are doing a five-hour walk, you‟ll need a

minimum of around one a half pints of water. It‟s vital that you don‟t wait
until you develop a raging thirst before you stop for a drink - keep taking
regular swigs from your water bottle.
Many walkers flavour their water with fruit juice, which makes it a lot
more palatable. You could even use one of the isotonic drinks made for
athletes, which replace the body‟s salts lost through sweating. Powders such
as Dioralyte, which you may have in the house as a treatment for diarrhea,
will do the job just as well, as its main aim is also effective rehydration.
Given that evaporation is your body‟s cooling mechanism, you can
help things along with an external application of water. Soaking your hat
with water is a great way to cool the head, though if the sun is beating
down, it will probably dry off almost immediately. Better still then if you
can plunge into a river or the sea fully-clothed. And if that‟s not possible,
then at least take off your boots and socks and paddle in a cool stream.
Walking in the heat increases the rate at which your feet swell, which
can lead to them feeling tight in your boots. Cool water from a stream
reduces any swelling and helps general foot comfort. At the same time, you
can check out your feet or signs of blisters. Extra sweating makes the skin
softer and increases the chance of blisters forming, in the same way as when
water leaks into your boots and gets to your feet.
As for what clothing you wear, this should be lightweight and reasonably
loose-fitting. Tight clothing will feel uncomfortable and may even lead to
the formation of an irritating rash known as „prickly heat‟ on your skin. The

answer, if this does develop, is to try and stay cool as much as possible. Do
this by either keeping in the shade, or washing the affected area with cold
water, but without soap. But prevention is by far the best approach, so keep
your clothing light.
It‟s understandable to want to remove any extraneous clothing when it‟s
extremely hot, but it doesn‟t really make much sense to take off T-shirts.
The sun‟s rays can be quite strong, and shoulders are always very sensitive
to sunburn. This is the worst place to be red and sore when you are wearing
a heavy rucksack on your back. Wearing shorts can also create problems for
walkers, as the backs of the legs can catch the sun very easily.
In fact, those days when an apparently harmless breeze is blowing can be
the most deceptive. It might not feel so hot, so you probably won‟t notice
the damage being done so soon. As on every other day then, a good strong
sun cream should therefore be applied to any skin which is exposed. Make
the most of the summer, but treat the sun with the respect it deserves.
