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 72 According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart diseases?

A reverse B advance C block D support 78 What is meant by the phrase 'mixed results' ?

A boiled B poached C scrambled D fried 80 According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol? A reducing egg intake but not fat intake B increasing egg intake and fat intake C decreasing egg intake and fat intake D increasing egg intake but not fat intake SECTION E: WRITING I Complete each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed above it 81 It was easy for us to get tickets for the concert @ We have ………………………………………………………………………… 82 We couldn’t have managed without my father’s money @ If it ……… …………………………………………………………………… 83 However hard you work, you will never be promoted here @ Hard ……………………………………………………………… ………… 84 I shall never lend John any money, no matter what happens Under no ………………………………………………………… …… 85 Walking in the rain gives my brother pleasure My brother enjoys………………………………………………………… II Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given Do not change the word given 86 “You shouldn’t lend him any more money,” Mrs Tuyet said to Nga (NOT) Mrs Tuyet advised ………………………………………………………… 87 It was so late that nothing could be done ( TO ) It was too ………………………………………………………… …… 88 Why did you phone him, Linh?
