correct answer to each of the questions.
Package holidays, covering a two weeks" stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular,
because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour
operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming,
sunbathing, skiing - you name it - it"s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother
anything yourselves. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you
will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost
your entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic
buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous
city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may
visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added
disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before,
may not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that
for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a
short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seat and watch the world
go by.
29. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is particularly good for ____
A. schoolboys and schoolgirls B. the lonely or elderly people
C. newly married young couples D. those who always travel by themselves

A.your time always is limited when visiting a place
B. your time is always limited when visiting a place
C. you can take your time visiting a place
D. you can take your time visiting a place

A. arrange anything yourself B. pay for any extra activities
C. follow the tour schedules D. travel in an organised group

A. A coach tour is always exhausting.
B. You are constantly on the move when you are on a coach tour.
C. You get no chance to visit historic buildings in famous cities on a coach tour.

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the
needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the
world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.
Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many
man's needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil
and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals existing
on the ocean floor are ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and
waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong,
new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts
believe that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent US from exploiting fully the food, minerals,
and energy source of the sea will be largely solved.

It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from US by death more than when he was with US in the
flesh; it is only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity
of education, which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good
health, when we are young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is to be weak and ailing. We are so
used to vigorous health that we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we
scarcely know we have lungs and liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives
US pain and sickness, we learn by bitter experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes US miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our
efforts so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils
our life. What must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple
food. Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get
plenty of sleep, which is "nature's sweet restorer", and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must
live as much as possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and
regular physical exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as
we avoid the devil, and keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind
in the sound body.

One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”. These
shows, in which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed without a script, have
become some of the highest rating shows on television. Early programs of this genre, including Big
Brother (from the Netherlands) and Survivor (from the United States), have led to dozens of copycat
programs in many different countries. A common element to many of these programs is that a number
of contestants are placed in a closed environment in which they are filmed 24 hours a day, and every
week contestants are thrown off the show. What is it about these shows that makes them so popular?
Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy watching ordinary people with real emotions being placed in
extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that people are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy,
looking secretly into other people’s lives.

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise
bike. Typically, people who buy them use them for a week or so and then forget about them.
There are effective if they are used regularly but you need to be determined. Most people will
find it much easier to go for a gentle jog around the park.
As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You
don’t need to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach.
The main thing is that they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in
the summer. There is one piece of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and
money on, and that’s your running shoes. Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item,
but for something that will support your feet and protect you from injury. They can be expensive,
but if they are good quality they will last you a long time. It’s always best to get expert advice,
and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do much at the beginning –
especially if you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running
for ten minutes about three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then
start to increase the amount you do gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to
run at reasonable speed for twenty minutes three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel
comfortable with whatever you do. If you do, you’ll start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing
it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop after a short time and return to your
bad habits. In any case, training too hard is not very effective. Research has shown that somebody
who exercise for twice as long as or twice as hard as another person doesn’t automatically
become twice as fit.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean
water. Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and
garbage have made many sources of water undrinkable.
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia
is one of the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300
rare species that do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive
volumes of industrial effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the
governments do not have the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The
Mediterranean Sea occupies 1% of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all
marine pollution. Almost sixteen countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the

now scarce, and we are at last beginning to respect it. What should we do to save this precious source?

speaking clubs or ourselves in front of the mirror.Learning by heart all the words does not help much if

programs. Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around
1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the
Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England
and had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a
result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business,
banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is
English. Two - thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language
of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are
more than 700 million English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers,
constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any other language in the world.

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children
learn the letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link
between watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many
TV shows are violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And
of course, more time in front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the
cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch only
educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching them
to watch TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

career.Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970.They stopped doing live
performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the 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 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 alternatives to eating 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 the
advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in banking. 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.
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 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 certainly 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.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
B. To make people how 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.
29. 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

C. The results are inconclusive. D. The results are mingled together.
31. Which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
32. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily
limit for human consumption of cholesterol?

In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults. They
learned mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken language.
Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed they set up
schools to teach reading, writing, maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and powerful
families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures the religious
leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools
focused on military training. Sometimes youths attended special schools to learn the art of public
speaking. These skills were meant to help them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other useful
skills. Over time education became available to more people, not just the rich and powerful. The
governments of some countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s. More schools opened
to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing became a
regular part of formal education. As education became more important to people, teachers' colleges
opened. The requirements for becoming a teacher became stricter. Teaching became a highly respected
profession.

In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was
determined to become a doctor. The young American wrote
again and again to a number of medical colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time the
answer was NO.
Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva, which said
YES.
At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Elizabeth. But later the
important people of that college learned that Elizabeth's application had the support of a famous doctor,
and they were afraid to offend that man.
So the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to the student's general meeting of
the college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take Elizabeth.
When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some
considered the young American's idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they would be
proud of their college training the world's first woman doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to
accept Elizabeth.
The dean of Geneva College was of course very sorry to learn this, but seeing that he could do
nothing to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and
rapid consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks.
By the 1960s and 1970s fast foods became one of America's strongest exports as franchises for Me
Donald's and Burger King spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and
China. Traditional meals cooked at home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches
and dinners eaten on the run as other countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more
poultry, fish and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world
cuisines in forms closer to their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables
available with ingredients and spices borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative
cooking style that was lighter than traditional French, but more interesting and varied than typical
American cuisine. Along with the state's wines, California cuisine took its place among the
acknowledged forms of fine dining.

answer to each of the questions.
Package holidays, covering a two weeks" stay in an attractive location are increasingly popular,
because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator
to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing
- you name it - it"s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother anything yourselves. You
make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local
people. This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time travelling. Of
course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will
probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and
breakfasted early in time for the coach next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient,
but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your
holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like and have no reasonable excuse for
getting away from. As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly,
the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit
safely back in their seat and watch the world go by.
29. In spite of its disadvantages, spending a holiday with a group is particularly good for ____
A. schoolboys and schoolgirls B. the lonely or elderly people
C. newly married young couples D. those who always travel by themselves

It is often considered that the schoolyard is where bullies go to make other kids a miserable school
life, but a new study suggests that classrooms are another popular place. The study, presented recently at the
American Public Health Association's yearly meeting in Philadelphia, is based on the results of the research
from more than 10,000 middle school students who answered questions online.
Of those researched, 43% said they'd been physically bullied within the last month. A bit more than
half said they had been laughed at in an unfriendly way, and half reported being called hurtful names. About
one third said groups had excluded them to hurt their feelings. 28% said their belongings had been taken or
broken; 21% said someone had threatened to hurt them. According to the results, two-thirds of the students
said they had been bullied in more than one way over the previous month.
The study authors mentioned that 8% of the students who answered said they had missed school at
least once during the school year because of fear of being bullied. 25% said they had taken other actions, such
as missing recess, not going to the bathroom or lunch, missing classes, or staying away from some area of the
school to escape from experiencing a bully. Bullies did too much to the school life.

Man is a land animal, but he also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs
of man. The sea has provided man with food and convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today,
nearly two thirds of the world's population lives within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on
land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many man's needs. The list
of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man's technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have
been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals existing on the ocean floor are ready to be
mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and
shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature
of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer
possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new
materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe
that by the year 2020 the problems that prevent US from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy
source of the sea will be largely solved.
29. The major things that the sea offers man are________.
A. fish and oil B. minerals and oil
C. food, energy sources, and minerals D. ocean currents and waves
30. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. the sea resources have largely been used up.

It is a common saying that we do not fully value a thing until we lose it. We often value the love and
worth of a friend when he has been taken from US by death more than when he was with US in the flesh; it
is only when we have left school or college that we understand the greatness of our opportunity of education,
which has gone forever; and it is the sick and the ailing who realize the value of good health, when we are
young and strong, we cannot imagine what it is to be weak and ailing. We are so used to vigorous health that
we take it for granted. The organs of our body work so smoothly that we scarcely know we have lungs and
liver, heart and stomach. But when any of these gets upset and gives US pain and sickness, we learn by bitter
experience what an unspeakable blessing it is to be well.
Loss of health makes US miserable, and a burden to ourselves and our friends. It cripples our efforts
so that we cannot accomplish many of the good and great things we might have done. It spoils our life. What
must we do to keep our health?
We must be moderate in eating and drinking and wise in the choice of plain, wholesome simple food.
Gluttony has killed thousands, and strong drink tens of thousands. We must, when young, get plenty of sleep,
which is "nature's sweet restorer", and not try to burn the candle at both ends. We must live as much as
possible in the open air and keep our rooms well ventilated. We must get sufficient and regular physical
exercise, and keep our bodies clean. And we must avoid bad habits and secret sins as we avoid the devil, and
keep our thoughts clean and our bodies pure. Our ideal must be the sound mind in the sound body.

One of the biggest trends in television in recent years has been the rise of “Reality TV”. These shows,
in which ordinary people are placed in unusual situations and then filmed without a script, have become
some of the highest rating shows on television. Early programs of this genre, including Big Brother (from the
Netherlands) and Survivor (from the United States), have led to dozens of copycat programs in many
different countries. A common element to many of these programs is that a number of contestants are placed
in a closed environment in which they are filmed 24 hours a day, and every week contestants are thrown off
the show. What is it about these shows that makes them so popular? Perhaps it is because viewers enjoy
watching ordinary people with real emotions being placed in extraordinary, situations. Or perhaps it is that
people are really voyeurs - they enjoy being a spy, looking secretly into other people’s lives.

My first piece of advice to people who want to start getting fit is don’t buy an exercise bike.

As well as being easy to do, jogging is also relatively cheap compared to most other sports. You don’t need
to buy expensive clothes if you’re just going running around the park or on the beach. The main thing is that
they’re comfortable, and that they keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There is one piece
of equipment, however, that you will have to spend time and money on, and that’s your running shoes.
Remember that you are not looking for a fashion item, but for something that will support your feet and
protect you from injury. They can be expensive, but if they are good quality they will last you a long time.
It’s always best to get expert advice, and the best place for that is a sports shop.
As for the actual jogging, the secret is to start gently, and not to do much at the beginning – especially if
you haven’t had any exercise for a long time. Try a mixture of walking and running for ten minutes about
three times a week at first. Once you are happy doing that you can then start to increase the amount you do
gradually. After a few months you should hope to be able to run at reasonable speed for twenty minutes
three or four times a week. It’s important that you feel comfortable with whatever you do. If you do, you’ll
start to enjoy it and will probably keep doing it. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, you’ll probably stop
after a short time and return to your bad habits. In any case, training too hard is not very effective. Research
has shown that somebody who exercise for twice as long as or twice as hard as another person doesn’t
automatically become twice as fit.

One of the most urgent environmental problems in the world today is the shortage of clean water.
Having clean drinking water is a basic human right. However, acid rain, industrial pollution and garbage have
made many sources of water undrinkable.
Lakes, reservoirs and even entire seas have become vast pools of poison. Lake Baikal in Russia is one of
the largest lakes in the world. It contains a rich variety of animals and plants, including 1,300 rare species that
do not exist anywhere else in the world. Yet, they are being destroyed by the massive volumes of industrial
effluent which pour into the lake every day. Even though laws have been made, the governments do not have
the power to enforce them. Most industries simply ignore the regulations. The Mediterranean Sea occupies 1%
of the world's water surface, but it is the dumping ground for 50% of all marine pollution. Almost sixteen
countries regularly throw industrial wastes a few miles offshore.
Water is free to everyone. A few years ago people thought that the supply of clean water in the world was
limitless. Today, many water supplies have been ruined by pollution and sewage. Clean water is now scarce, and we
are at last beginning to respect it. What should we do to save this precious source?

In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching
and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them effectively to improve the
quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spending
the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television
did not exist.
There are some explanations for the failure of television to get the interest of the teachers. Firstly, the
schools that purchased television sets have not set aside money for equipment repairs and maintenance so
these television sets are sooner and later out of work. Secondly these schools have not found an effective
way to train teachers to integrate television into their ongoing instructional programs. Lastly, most teachers
do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the classroom.
Teachers at the schools work hard for at least twelve years to train their students to become good readers.
However, according a recent statistics, teenagers seldom spend their free time reading books and newspapers
but watching television instead.

Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until
the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as two
centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade),
colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew
in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the primary
language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two -
thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology,
advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers - Today there are more than 700 million
English users in the world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of
nonnative users than any other language in the world.

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn the
letters of the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link between
watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many TV shows are
violent and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of course, more time in
front of the TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch only
educational programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching them to watch
TV as occasional entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
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 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 alternatives to
eating 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 the advantage of having low cholesterol rates, and
they can be scrambled or used in banking. 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.
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 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 certainly 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.
28. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level.
119
B. To make people how 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.
29. 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
30. 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.
31. Which of the following could best replace the word "somewhat"?
A. in fact B. a little C. indefinitely D. a lot
32. According to the passage, one yolk contains approximately what fraction of the suggested daily limit for
human consumption of cholesterol?

In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults. They learned
mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken language. Eventually cultures
around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed they set up schools to teach reading, writing,
maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and powerful families.
Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures the religious leaders formed the
highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools focused on military training.
Sometimes youths attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to help
them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other useful skills. Over
time education became available to more people, not just the rich and powerful. The governments of some
countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s. More schools opened to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing became a regular part of
formal education. As education became more important to people, teachers' colleges opened. The requirements
for becoming a teacher became stricter. Teaching became a highly respected profession.

In early days no medical college took a woman student. Elizabeth Blackwell, however, was determined
to become a doctor. The young American wrote
again and again to a number of medical colleges, asking if she could be enrolled but each time the answer was
NO.
Then one day, to her surprise, she got a letter from the dean of a college in Geneva, which said YES.
At first Geneva College, like the other colleges, was not willing to enroll Elizabeth. But later the
important people of that college learned that Elizabeth's application had the support of a famous doctor, and
they were afraid to offend that man.
So the dean decided to play a trick by turning the matter over to the student's general meeting of the
college, thinking that the students would be the last to agree to take Elizabeth.
When the boy students met, most students took no interest in the matter. Of the rest, some considered
the young American's idea interesting and some thought by having Elizabeth they would be proud of their
college training the world's first woman doctor. Very soon the students all agreed to accept Elizabeth.
The dean of Geneva College was of course very sorry to learn this, but seeing that he could do nothing
to keep Elizabeth out, he gave in.

American foods began to affect the rest of the world. American emphasis on convenient and rapid
consumption is best represented in fast foods such as hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks. By the 1960s
and 1970s fast foods became one of America's strongest exports as franchises for Me Donald's and Burger King
spread through Europe and other parts of the world, including Russia and China. Traditional meals cooked at
home and consumed at a leisurely pace gave way to quick lunches and dinners eaten on the run as other
countries imitated American cultural patterns.
By the late 20lh century Americans had become more conscious of their diets, eating more poultry, fish
and vegetables, and fewer eggs and less beef. Cooks began to rediscover many world cuisines in forms closer to
their original. In California, chefs combined fresh fruits and vegetables available with ingredients and spices
borrowed from immigrant kitchens to create an innovative cooking style that was lighter than traditional French,
but more interesting and varied than typical American cuisine. Along with the state's wines, California cuisine
took its place among the acknowledged forms of fine dining.
