29、in different ways.One topic of debate,however,is why brown chicken eggs usually cost more than white ones.According to Sharman Hickman,the director of Community Outreach and Education for Hickmans Family Farms,genetics (基因学) not nutrition determines the eggshell colour and thus the eggs price.The ch
30、icken breed (品种) and their genetics decide whether or not hens have pigment (色素) genes,which coat the egg and result in a coloured shell during the egg-laying process.Although all eggs start out white in colour,shell colour can range from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds,Hickman adds
31、.Breeds such as the Leghorn chicken lays white eggs,while the Orpington lays brown eggs and the Ameraucana produces blue eggs.Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is the most efficient egg-laying hen,making it a popular choice for farmers.Hens that produce coloured eggshells,however,tend to be large
32、r and require more feed and energy to create that painted layer.Since those breeds cost more to feed,their eggs are more expensive.Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently,its impossible to know their nutritional make-up from the shell colour alone,according to Malina Linkas
33、 Malkani,media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.“Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference,” she says.“But its important for people to know that the colour of the eggshell has nothing to do with the eggs nutrient content or shell thickness.”What
34、does affect the nutrient content is the specific diet the hen is on,according to Malkani.For example,hens fed with a diet with omega-3s and vitamin D produce eggs that are higher in those specific nutrients.No matter what your preference is,dont judge an egg by its shell colour.29.What makes the egg
35、shell colour different?A.The hens breed.B.The size of the hen.C.The colour of the eggs inside.D.The length of the laying process.30.Why do farmers love the Leghorn breed more?A.They lay brown eggs.B.Their eggs are larger.C.Their eggs sell better.D.They are productive.31.What can we learn from Malkan
36、is words in the last paragraph?A.It takes efforts to test eggs nutrition.B.Its meaningless to study an eggs colour.C.Personal preference matters a lot in choice-making.D.An eggs nutrition is closely related to the hens feed.32.Which of the following is one of the arguments about eggs?A.Which eggs ar
