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 advantage of having lower 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 eggs, sometimes called "designer"
eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil,
flaw, 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 relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have
brought mixed results. 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 is 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.
41. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. to inform people about the relation 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 fats increase the blood cholesterol level
42. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. vitamins D. canola oil
43. 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
44. According to the passage, one egg yolk contains approximately what fraction of suggested daily limit for
human consumption of cholesterol?
A. 1/3 B. 1/2 C. 2/3 D. 3/4

56. A. manufacture B. plant C. factory D. industry
57. A. degree B. value C. demand D. effect
