The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer,



you pay me $5.00, and vise versa." Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. "Okay" says the lawyer, "your turn." She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, and hands her $500.00. The blonde says, "Thank you", and turns back to get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep. 13.

Pesticides which are commonly used may cause many problems. I think combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests. Firstly, the chemicals in the pesticides may build up as residues in the environment and in the soil which absorbs the chemicals. This reduces the quality of farm product. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This means that newer and



stronger ones have to be developed. Lastly, some pesticides affect non target plants and animals such as fish and bees. This affects the ecology and environment as well. So, understanding of ecology of an area helps a lot in pest control. Pesticides should be chosen and applied carefully so that they don't affect the ecological balance and environment. Therefore, integrated pest management is a safe and more effective option to fight pest in agriculture and livestock. 24. Which of the following is not directly affected by pesticides used? a. Plants d. Environment. b. Ecology e. Human Beings c. Animals. 25. What can you say about paragraph two and four? a. The fourth paragraph supports the idea stated in paragraph two. b.

One of the disadvantages of using chemical pesticides is … a. killing fish and bees. b. increasing crops productivity. c. creating balanced ecosystem. d. causing the pests to become inactive e. helping reduce pollutants in the environment. 27. Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. (paragraph 3) The word resistant in the sentence above means … a. weak d. fragile b. damage e. unaffected c. unbalanced 28.
