1. If there was such a thing as a perfect food, eggs would be a contender.

They‟re readily
available, easy to cook, affordable and packed with protein. The egg is meant to be something
that has all the right ingredients to grow an organism, so obviously it‟s very nutrient dense.
Eating eggs alongside other food can help our bodies absorb more vitamins, too. For example,
one study found that adding an egg to salad can increase how much vitamin E we get from the
salad.
But for decades, eating eggs has also been controversial due to their high cholesterol content –
which some studies have linked to an increased risk of heart disease. One egg yolk contains
around 185 milligrams of cholesterol, which is more than half of the 300mg daily amount of
cholesterol that the US dietary guidelines recommended until recently. Cholesterol, a yellowish
fat produced in our liver and intestines, can be found in every one of our body‟s cells. We
normally think of it as “bad”. But cholesterol is a crucial building block in our cell membranes. It
also is needed for the body to make vitamin D, and the hormones testosterone and oestrogen.
Cholesterol is transported around our body by lipoprotein molecules in the blood. Every person
has a different combination of various types of lipoproteins, and our individual make-up plays a
role in determining our risk of developing heart disease. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol – referred to as “bad” cholesterol – is transported from the liver to arteries and body
tissues. Researchers say that this can result in a build-up of cholesterol in the blood vessels
and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
As a result, US dietary guidelines no longer have a cholesterol restriction; nor does the UK.
Instead, emphasis is placed on limiting how much saturated fat we consume, which can
increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Foods containing trans fats, in particular,
increase our LDL levels. Although some trans fats occur naturally in animal products, most are
made artificially and are found in highest levels in margarines, snacks, and some deep-fried and
baked foods, such as pastry, doughnuts and cake.

The following statements are true, EXPECT...

A. Cholesterol is a yellowish fat produced in our liver and intestines.

B. Cholesterol is transported around our body by lipoprotein molecules in the blood.
C. Eaing eggs alongside other food can help our bodies absord more vitamins.
D. Low Dentisity Lipoprotein (LDL) can result buil-up cholesterol in the blood vessels and
incerase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
E. Every person has the same combination of various types of lipoproteins.

What can we conclude from the text?

A. One egg yolk contains around 185 mg of cholesterol. The cholesterol produced in the
liver and heart. it also is needed fot the body to make vitamin D and the hormonea
testosterone and estrogen. The egg yolk can increase the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease.
 B. Egg is a perfect food. Eating eggs along side other food can help our bodies absorb
more vitamins. Eating eggs also been controversial due to their high cholesterol content
in the egg yolk. The bad cholesterol tht transported from the liver to arteries and body
tissues can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
C. Cholesterol, a yellowish fat produced in our liver and intestines. it can increase the risk
of developing cardiovascular disease. The cholesterol is found in highest levels in
margarines, snacks, and some deep-fried baked food.
D. Bad cholesterol found in egg yolk but it also needed for the body to make vitamin D and
the hormones testosterone and estrogen. Eating to much egg can increase the risk of
heart disease.
E. Egg is meant to be something that has the right ingredients to grow an organism. One
egg yolk containns around 185mg of cholesterol. it can trigger some disease but
researchers have't definitively link consumption of cholesterol to an increased risk of
cardiovascular disease.

4. Taking advantage from a high birth rate and the enormous potential of stem cell
research, India‟s biotechnology firm are coaxing more parents to bank blood from their newly
born‟s umbilical cord from which the blood cells are frozen and to be revived if and when there
is a scientific breakthrough. Blood which is extracted from the baby‟s umbilical cord and
placenta discarded after birth are loaded with stem cells. They are master cells from which the
body‟s immune and blood system originate and which can develop into cells of any organ.
Doctors harvest the blood cells once the umbilical cord is clamped and cut using a collection
then ship blood is then packaged in special shipping material provided. The company officials
then ship the package to the laboratory where the stem cells are processed and tested for
various diseases.
These cells can help cure more than 75 serious ailments, according to NaliniKhrisnan
a medical advisor of LifeCell, a firm which deals in preserving cord blood. She further says that
collecting and preserving the baby‟s cord blood stem cells is a security blanket for the baby itself
and its immediate family members. It is effective in the treatment of leukemia, anemia, inherited
disorder and several other deficiencies of the immune system. Even lifestyle diseases such as
diabetes, liver disorders and hear ailments and infectious diseases such as hepatitis, HIV and
malaria can also be treated with stem cells.
The two Indian companies which offer cord blood cell banking – LifeCell and Relance
Life Sciences – have a combined repository of more than 4,000 units, with Relance dominating
with 3.000 units. They are targeting to get to 15.000 units by the end of year 2000. Lifecell is
going to open two banking centers outside India and to clock 10 billion rupees (US $ 222
million) within the next five years. Parents must pay 60.000 rupees (US $ 1,333) for the process
of cord blood banking.
Prasad Mangupid, marketing vice president of LifeCell says the company followed
„ethical standards‟ despite controversial surrounding the stem cell research. In December, South
Korean investigators said that the apparent landmark stem cells research by cloning expert.
Hwang – Woo Suk had been faked, turning the one – time national hero into a disgraced
fabricator. People are not worried with the controversy though. Although the research at present
is shrouded in a bit of controversy no one knows what will happen in the future. It is the „best
gift‟ parents can give to their children, said RoopaDev, a doctor who banked her son‟s cord
blood cells at LifeCell.

In paragraph one, we can infer that…

A. newly born babies are a source of medical breakthrough

B. the umbilical cord of newly born babies can be made into immune and blood systems.
 C. impaired human organs can be repaired by stem cells derived from fresh umbilical cord
and placenta.
D. human immune and bold systems originate from stem cells derived from the placenta
and umbilical cord of newborn babies.
E. the firms can process the blood cells wherever the samples are taken.

6. Instagram has added the Shopping feature to the app to accommodate business and
creator accounts in Indonesia to maximize their marketing strategy.
In an online press conference on Tuesday, Instagram said the platform had already helped
many small businesses sell their products online prior to and during the pandemic.
“Instagram is a platform for business players in selling their products and push marketing,
especially amid the pandemic,” Pieter Lydian, country director for Facebook Indonesia, said.
“This Shopping feature is launched in batches starting today. It is a manifestation of our
commitment to help small enterprises and creators in Indonesia to keep upgrading their service
and become successful, both in Indonesia and abroad."
To use the Shopping feature, users are required to create their shop through the Commerce
Manager. Instagram uses human reviewers to minimize mistakes, so it might take a few days
before the account is verified.
When the profile is approved, the Shopping feature can be activated by connecting the Product
Catalogue with the business account.
Lizzie Parra, founder of CMO BLP Beauty, said she supported the feature as her business had
been helped tremendously by the platform.
“For BLP Beauty, this feature would be very helpful, especially when the pandemic encourages
us to maximize the online platform,” she said.
According to Lizzie, she used Instagram as her main marketing medium as she found that it was
only on the app that she could interact freely with customers. However, so far, she still used a
website for transactions.
“The Shopping feature can help us simplify the process so buyers can have easier and faster
transactions,” she said.
Marketing transactions are one of the most important activities for Instagram users. According to
internal data in 2019, 90 percent of Instagram users followed at least one business account on
the platform. Aside from buying products, users followed these accounts to find inspiration from
business players, creators or public figures. (wng)
