A new reprt cnnects eating eggs t an increased risk f heart disease. The results fllw several earlier studies that fund eating eggs was generally healthy. The study cllects data frm six ther earlier studies. It shws a 6 percent increased risk f heart discase when the number f eggs a persn ate each day increased by half an egg.
Nrrina Allen, an assciate prfessr at Nrthwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally ne f the tp surces f chlesterl (胆固醇) in a persn’s daily fd. Peple with higher levels f chlesterl in their fd are at increased risk f the develpment f heart disease later in life. Hwever, Allen added that she wuld nt say that eggs are cmpletely unhealthy. “I’m nt saying that peple shuld take them cmpletely ut f their fd,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that peple eat them in a prper amunt.”
Sme experts believe the new study des nt prve that eggs are causing heart disease. “Chlesterl’s rle in the develpment f heart disease has been discussed fr mre than 30 years,” said Dennis Bruemmer, an assciate prfessr f medicine at the University f Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study des have clear shrtcmings, including self-reprting at a single time pint,” he added.
Bruemmer said, “Eggs in mderatin (适度) are prbably acceptable frm a nutritinal standpint.” “Mderatin,” he added, “is less than ne egg a day, including eggs in fds such as bread.”
Hlly Andersen, a dctr at the New Yrk-Presbyterian/ Weill Crnell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shrtcmings”. One prblem Andersen has with the study is that a lt f the egg-eating peple in the study als appeared t be eating much meat and prcessed meat. “If yu’re taking a lt f prcessed meat, it desn’t matter hw many eggs yu’re eating,” Andersen said.
Als, Andersen said, “The study can nly shw there is a relatin between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannt prve eggs are the cause f the disease. It may just be that peple eating a lt f eggs are als taking a lt f bacn.”
8. What des Nrrina Allen agree with?

B. Eggs cntain the mst chlesterl.
C. Eggs shuld be eaten in a right amunt.

Imagine driving behind a huge truck shting cluds f smke int the air while yur new fully electric vehicle cleans up its carbn emissins (排放). This dream may sn be a reality. A team f students in the Netherlands has created an electric car that nt nly desn’t prduce carbn dixide when driving, but actually pulls it ut f the air.
The tw-seater sprts car was designed and built in less than a year by a team f 32 students at Eindhven University f Technlgy. Called “ZEM”, which stands fr “zer emissin mbility”, the car is equipped with special devices that remve carbn dixide frm the air as it drives. The team says if ZEM is driven abut 32,000 kilmeters, it can remve 2 kilgrams f carbn dixide frm the air. That’s nt a huge amunt. The team calculates that 10 ZEM cars n the rad fr a year wuld remve as much carbn dixide as a typical tree des during that time. Hwever, they als pint ut that there are ver a billin passenger cars in the wrld that culd be using this technlgy. And if a billin cars were remving carbn dixide instead f prducing it, the result wuld be huge.
ZEM als has several ther innvatins that help t make it mre capable f being sustained: the car’s frame and panels (面板) are 3D printed t reduce waste; it was built using recycled and recyclable materials; and it can be easily taken apart s that many f its parts can be reused. ZEM’s battery is als reusable, and has anther handy feature: it can be charged with slar panels n the car’s rf—and can even be used t prvide pwer t yur huse when the car isn’t n the rad.
Accrding t the statistics, transprtatin was respnsible fr ver 20% f glbal carbn dixide emissins in 2020—and f thse emissins, cars were respnsible fr 41%. The Eindhven team says its gal is t challenge the electric car industry: If 32 students can build a car like this in less than a year, then surely car manufacturers (生产商) are expected t adpt these innvatins, t.
12. What is special abut ZEM?
A. It can end the wrld’s CO2 release.
B. It can cut the truck’s CO2 emissins.
C. It can reduce the level f CO2 in the air.
D. It can absrb dirty air as well as CO2.
13. Why des the team run the calculatin f ZEM in paragraph 2?
A. T demnstrate a superb visin f ZEM cars.
B. T explain hw ZEM remves CO2 as trees d.
C. T illustrate the nging change in car making.
D. T shw the influence f ZEM n the car market.
14. What d we knw abut all the cmpnents f ZEM?
A. They are f high quality. B. They are easy t prcess.
C. They are cnvenient t print.D. They are envirnmentally friendly.
15. What des the Eindhven team hpe t achieve in the future?
A. Sharp decline in fuel cnsumptin. B. Mass prductin f ZEM cars.
C. Big success in beating ther car makers.D. Dramatic changes in transprtatin.
