READING
I.Read the following passage and choose the correct answer: (10)

It is breakfast time. You have been looking forward to eating a nice ripe banana ever
since you woke up. Just when you reach for the delicious piece of fruit on your counter, you see
something that makes you much less hungry: a swarm of fruit flies! Fruit flies are tiny insects that are
attracted to ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables. The flies not only eat the fruit, they also lay their eggs
there. A single fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs on the surface of a piece of fruit. Within eight days, the
fruit flies that hatch from these eggs are full adults that can then lay their own eggs. As you can see,
what might start out as a small fruit fly problem can become very large very quickly. Although there is a
chance fruit flies can carry germs on to your food, this is not very likely. Fruit flies are annoying, but they
probably will not hurt you. Because they are such a nuisance, however, most people want to get rid of
these pesky bugs as quickly as possible. Some people use pesticide sprays on the fruit flies. Although this
will kill the flies, it will also spread harmful poison all over your kitchen. Luckily, there is also a
completely safe way for you to get rid of fruit flies in your house.
