Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except the northernmost and southernmost regions One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that produces honey and wax Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the honey as a substance that people eat to
maintain life and growth While gathering the nectar and pollen with which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land Many fruits and
vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom
Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for the honey The different types of bees each perform a unique function The worker bee carries nectar to hive in a special stomach called a honey stomach Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells The queen lays eggs in completed cells As the workers build more cells, the queen lays more eggs
Trang 6All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen The male honeybees are called drones; they do no work and cannot sting They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to impregnate a queen The queen must be fertilized in order to lay more worker eggs During the season when less honey is available and the drone
is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that they will starve to death

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43-50
Before the 1500’s, the Western plains of North America were dominated by farmers One group, the Mandans, lived in the upper Missouri River country, primarily in present-day North Dakota They had large villages of houses built close together The tight arrangement enabled the
Trang 7Mandans to protect themselves more easily from the attacks of others who might seek to obtain some of the food these highly capable farmers stored from one year to the next
The women had primary responsibility for the fields They had to exercise considerable skill to produce the desired results, for their northern location meant fleeting growing seasons Winter often lingered; autumn could be ushered in by severe frost During the spring and summer, drought, heat, hail, grasshoppers, and other frustrations might await the wary grower
Under such conditions, Mandan women had to grow maize capable of weathering adversity
They began as early as it appeared feasible to do so in the spring, clearing the land, using fire to
clear stubble from the fields and then planting From this point until the first green corn could be harvested, the crop required labor and vigilance Harvesting proceeded in two stages In August the Mandans picked a smaller amount of the crop before it had matured fully This green corn was boiled, dried, and shelled, with some of the maize slated for immediate consumption and the rest stored in animal-skin bags Later in the fall, the people picked the rest of the corn They saved the best of the harvest for seeds or for trade, with the remainder eaten right away or stored for later use in underground reserves With appropriate banking of the extra food, the Mandans
protected themselves against the disaster of crop failure and accompanying hunger
The women planted another staple, squash, about the first of June, and harvested it near the time
of the green corn harvest After they picked it, they sliced it, dried it, and strung the slices before they stored them Once again, they saved the seed from the best of the year`s crop The Mandans also grew sunflowers and tobacco; the latter was the particular task of the older men

A allow more room for growing corn B share farming implements
C protect themselves against the weather D guard their supplies of food
