Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
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.
66. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol.
C. To persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten
D. To convince people to eat 'designer' eggs and egg substitutes.
67. According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?
A. minerals B. cholesterol C. canola oil D. vitamins
68. Which of the following could best replace the word 'somewhat'?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
69. What has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A. increasing price B. decreased production
C. dietary changes in hens D. concerns about cholesterol
70. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for human
consumption of cholesterol?
A. 3/4 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D. 1/3
71. The word 'portrayed' could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. studied B. destroyed C. tested D. described
72. What is the meaning of 'back up'?
A. reverse B. advance C. block D. support
73. What is meant 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.
74. According to the passage, egg substitutes cannot be used to make any of following types of eggs EXCEPT?

Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant,
e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal. In other
words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper
etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply
requires sensitivity and experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to
do the same in a more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into
your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to
say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The
conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette
appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants.

A. rules of etiquette B. instruction in proper etiquette
