There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides that 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 the farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. It 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 the 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 pests in agriculture and
livestock.

their food. People pay to taste good food and not to be put off by foul-smelling smoke.

smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to asthma attacks and even cancer.

Read the text below! This text for question number 26-30!

In order to improve comfort and cleanliness at our school, some dust bins should be increased. There are
paper mineral water cups, straws, and napkins when we look at classrooms, corridors, and schoolyards.
The condition of uncleanliness and discomfort hinders the learning and teaching environment. Litters have
thrown carelessly cause disease, especially empty plastic cups or glasses. They can be filled out with water
coming from the rain, and it will be a place for dengue mosquitoes to spread out. Besides, their rubbish can
deteriorate the scene. Well, painted walls and green schoolyard do not mean anything litters are scattered
everywhere.
Anyway, I notice that most of the students in our school have responsibilities for the school environment.
They put their litters in the proper places. But some are not diligent enough to find the dust bins. The numbers
of dust bins in our schools are not enough. More dust bins should be put near one each other, outside of the
classrooms, and some more in the corridors. Probably one dust bin should be in every ten meters. So when
students want to throw away their litters, they can find the dust bins easily.
When school is equipped with sufficient dust bins, we do not have problems of freak and discomfort
anymore. Our school will be immaculate and become a beautiful place to study.

【 SOCIETY

Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe
usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family.
Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also
bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we
often see the news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and
Internet usage should continue to be campaigned.
The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary.
Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all
activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential
harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They
see that all of they have done are their privacy and no one may know.
We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However,
many parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing
homework or even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the
materials do not fit with his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become
acquainted with many strangers out side. The lack parental supervision of children’s activities is
likely to pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs
to be done from time to time.
【 ENVIRONMENT

Deforestation, as a permanent destructive act to expand land availability for other uses,
should be stopped as soon as possible. This destructive act leads human and other living
creatures into a great disaster. If this act is not stopped, we are eventually will arrive in the end
of the harmonious relationship with our mother earth.
Deforestation leads us into a great disaster for four reasons. First, deforestation forces
climate change. The decreasing numbers of trees increases the amount of carbon dioxide
released into atmosphere. This condition disturbs the cycle of carbon that causes greenhouse
effect. Greenhouse effect undeniably changes the climate. Second, deforestation impacts on the
loss of species. As we know, forest is the house for most of plants and animals. The plants and
animals will lose their habitat if deforestation is continuously going. Third, deforestation
disturbs water cycle. The trees absorb the rain drops and filter the pollution contained in the
water. Lessening the number of trees obviously changes water absorption and pollution filter of
the water. The last, deforestation will cause soil erosion. When the trees are cut down, there
will be no more roots to tightly hold the soil from erosion. This certainly put the society near to
the forest in danger of soil erosion.
The facts that deforestation causes many negative impacts on environment should become
our concern. Deforestation vividly leads human and other living creatures into a great disaster.
Therefore, deforestation should be stopped as soon as possible.
【 E D U C AT I O N

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The
uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are
some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998
concerning school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms
have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also
claimed a negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-
school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging
to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic
standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened
with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes
of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often
competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear.
Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social
outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents
prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear.
Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The
government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for
schools.
