When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals We might be scared of them because they are big and powerful As we get older, however, we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals In fact, the animal that kills the most people every year is one that you have probably killed yourself many times: the mosquito
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood They need this blood to live and produce eggs When a female mosquito bites a human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood This saliva may or may not contain a deadly disease The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases from one person to another very easily Two of the most deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases every year At least million of these people will die from these diseases
Many scientists are working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far, there is no sure way to protect everyone in the world from their deadly bites Mosquito nets can be placed over beds to protect people against being bitten These nets help people stay safe at night, but they not kill any mosquitoes Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area This is a natural solution, but it does not always work very well Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays Even though these sprays kill mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more dangerous to human beings But things are changing It is highly likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry (Source: TOFFLE reading)

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
Plastic bags are used by everybody Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the future because of the plastic bags
(7)Once they are used, most bags go into landfills Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the environment Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets If they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes About 100,000 animals are killed every year due to these bags Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another victim may ingest it One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable The decomposition takes about 400 years No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic!
Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this non-renewable resource increasingly To make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every year around the world.Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world grinding to a halt
So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones While governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible Cut down your use of plastic, and your bit to save our planet
