VI. Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D t 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 of heart disease. 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 turns 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 lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One 
disadvatage, 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. 
 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 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 30 
dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. 
Question 17: As used in the second paragraph, which of the following could best replace the word “somewhat”? 
A. indefinitely B. a little C. a lot D. in fact 
Question 18: As used in the first paragraph, the word “plummet” refers to which of the following? 
A. bounce uncertainly B. hesitate unexpectantly C. rise gently D. drop abruptly 
Question 19: What does the author mean 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 
Question 20: According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of the following types of eggs 
EXCEPT ____________ 
A. Poached B. Fried C. Boiled D. scrambled 
Question 21: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease? 
A. minerals B. vitamins C. cholesterol D. canola oil 
Question 22: The word “portrayed” in the third paragraph could best replaced by which of the following? 
A. described B. destroyed C. tested D. studied 
Question 23: According to the author, which of the following may reduce the 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

A. to convince people to eat “designer” eggs and egg substitutes.

 After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its 
universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 
1895, just two weeks before his deathã, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made 
worthwhile contributions to humanity. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, 
and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony. 
 Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards 
which vary from $30,000 to $125,000. 
 Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, 
and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges' decisions. 
Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes. 
 No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War 11. Some people have won two 
prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
