SECTION III: READING (6.0 points)
Part 1. Questions 56 – 65 (2 points - 0.2/ each) 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
