ED GARDNER - AIRLINE PILOT
At 20, Ed Gardner is too young to drive a bus in some countries Yet he regularly flies tourists to their holiday destinations Ed started flying at 14 - you can't be any younger than that - before he could even drive a car He flew unaccompanied at 16, and got his private pilot's licence on his 17th birthday His dad's an airline pilot too, and Ed has flown with him on passenger flights since Ed became a pilot 'He never pushed me to become a pilot, but as soon as I said I wanted to it, he was pleased And Dad gave me money for my training, and now I'm paying him back He's been very helpful.'
After training, he immediately started work as a pilot for a commercial airline The captain is the boss, but Ed's allowed to almost the same work apart from operating the plane on the runway at the airport When Ed first joined the airline, he flew mail to different places Then he changed to passenger flights 'I was excited, but you don't really get to talk to the passengers The captain is in charge, but if they fly out on a short trip, you fly the plane back, for example.'
There are other pilots around Ed's age, but they are a bit older because they've done something else before they came to flying But it's not everyone that can get a job so soon Ed, who now flies regularly to Europe and Africa, says simply, 'I think I just came along at the right time!'

(2)Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and highquality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease 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 lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for fixing, 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 lowfat 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
Question 13: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes B to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten C to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol D to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level Question 14: As used in paragraph 2, what is the meaning of the phrase "back up"?
A reverse B block C support D advance
Question 15: What does the author mean by the phrase "mixed results" in paragraph 2? A The results are mingled together. B The results are blended. C The results are a composite of things. D The results are inconclusive. Question 16: According to the passage, what has been the cause for changes in the sale of eggs?
A increasing price B decreased production
C a shrinking market D dietary changes in hens
Question 17: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?
A minerals B vitamins C canola oil D cholesterol
Question 18: The word "portrayed" in paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following?
A described B studied C destroyed D tested
Question 19: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?
A reducing egg intake but not fat intake B increasing egg intake but not fat intake C increasing egg intake and fat intake D decreasing egg intake and fat intake

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and highquality protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease 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 lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One disadvantage, however, is that they are not good for fixing, 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 lowfat 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
Question 40: What is the main purpose of this passage?
A to introduce the idea that dietary fat increases the blood cholesterol level B to convince people to eat "designer" eggs and egg substitutes
C to inform people about the relationship between eggs and cholesterol D to persuade people that eggs are unhealthy and should not be eaten

Question 43: According to the author, which of the following may reduce blood cholesterol?

A The results are blended. B The results are a composite of things. C The results are mingled together. D The results are inconclusive.
