Finding end of file

I would like to know how can we find the end of file when reading from
a file using shell script.

Basically, I want to read 2 lines using a while loop till it reaches
the end of a file. Here is how I am reading 2 lines from the
result-data file inside a while loop.

do
{
read line1
read line2
} < result-data
done

Can anyone let me know how can I check for the end of file from a shell
script.

Thanks,
Sekar
