Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有 泡 沫 的 ) drinks kills pests.
Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals— although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground, ”he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed : they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri-Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests, ”he says.
Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “ no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “ For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases( each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases, ”he said. “ We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残 留 ) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers, ”he said.
In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The U. S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.
1.The writer’ s purpose of writing this passage is to .
A. tell an interesting incident
B. warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to health
C. suggest using Coca-Cola to kill pests.
D. announce a new discovery of Coca-Cola

A. they thought it went against science
B. they believed that the farmers didn’t tell the truth
C. they might fear that it could bring harm to their business
D. they insisted that no poison was left in their products
3.The underlined part in Para. 3 “ this practice” probably refers to .
A. testing the mixture
B. selling more drinks in India
C. mixing the drinks with the pesticide
D. attracting ants to eat the young pests
4.The drinks can kill pests because .
A. there is some pesticide left in them
B. they are sticky and fizzy
C. they have elements that kill pests
D. they made the pesticide more effective

As you climb into the hill country, the roads get dustier and rougher, and fewer cars can be seen. Phonxay is one of the poorest districts of Laos, and many of its villages are only accessible by footpath. Our destination this hot morning is a concrete water tank that can be found just off the road. A UK organization helped to build it six years ago, and in the nearby village of Thapho, where clean drinking water is scarce, it has made a big difference. The tank feeds six taps which in turn give water to over 800 people---it has improved things for almost every family, from schoolchildren to grannies.
But lately, we were told, the clean water supply has come under pressure from new arrivals, people who have come down from the hill areas, and there are concerns that there will not be enough clean water to go round.
There are also serious worries about resources in Laos. The Chinese are building a 400km railway link, which could transform the landlocked country. About 150,000 Chinese workers will be involved. What will this do to local clean water supplies? How will the workers be fed?
The vast majority of Laotians live on farms. But with foreign investors wanting to buy up land, local people will have to be moved to make room for them. Heavily dependent on both foreign aid and foreign investment, Laos still falls well behind its neighbours, although its economy has grown at about 6% a year in the last decade. Its biggest economic problem is the lack of locally trained skilled workforce.
But there are reasons to be hopeful for the future. Laos is beautiful, and foreign tourism continues to grow: fortunately so far the fast-food chains and coffee bars common elsewhere are nowhere to be seen. Although all local media are government-run, the Internet is not controlled and the BBC and CNN are available to those with satellite dishes.
The government has also achieved impressive results in rural development, with communities benefiting not just from cleaner water but the construction of new schools and regular visits from medical teams. Poverty will not be history in Laos within the next decade, but with small steps forward and a bit of outside help, the country could find itself out of the UN’s least-developed category by 2020.
1.What is putting pressure on the local supply of clean water?
A. Dust from the road is making the water dirtier.
B. There are too many taps accessing the water.
C. The population of the area is growing fast.
D. The coming summer will dry up rivers and lakes.
2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for Laos to be hopeful?
A. There are no fast-food restaurants in the country.
B. Laos has a variety of tourist attractions.
C. Information on the Internet is freely accessible.
D. The government owns all local media.
3.What is the most serious limitation on Laos’ economic growth?
A. The lack of local skilled workers.
B. A poor transportation system.
C. Too much foreign aid.
D. Too many foreign workers.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Laos: slow-developing nations
B. Laos: small steps forward
C. Laos: least-developed land
D. Laos: landlocked country
