PG74874.          Hurricanes are violent storm that cause millions of dollars in property
damage and take many lives. They can be extremely dangerous, and too often
people underestimate their fury.

        Hurricanes normally originate as a small area of thunderstorms over

Atlantic Ocean west of the Cape Verde Islands during August or September. For
several days, the area of storm increases and their air pressure falls slowly. A
center of low pressure forms, and winds begin to whirl around it. It is blown
westward, increasing in size and strength.

        Hurricane hunters then fly out to the storm in order to determine its size
and intensity and to track its direction. They drop radiosondes, or instruments
for recording temperature, air pressure, and humidity, into the storm. They also
look at the size of waves on the ocean, the clouds, and the eye of the storm. The
eye is a region of relative calm and clear skies in the center of the hurricane.
People often lose their lives by leaving shelter when the eye has arrived, only to
be caught in tremendous winds again when the eye has passed.

        Once the forecasters have determined that it is likely the hurricane will
reach shore, they issue a hurricane watch for a large, general area that may be
in the path of the storm. Later, when the probable point of landfall is clearer,
they will issue a hurricane warning for a somewhat more limited area. People
on these areas are wise to stock up on nonperishable foods, flashlight and radio
batteries, candles, and other items they may need if electricity and water are not
available after the storm. Then should also try to hurricane-proof their houses
by bringing in light-weight furniture and other items from outside and covering
windows people living in low-lying areas are wise to evacuate their houses
because of the storm surge, which is large rush of water that may come ashore
with the storm.

            Hurricanes generally lose power slowly while traveling over land, but
many move out to sea, gather up force again, and return to land. As they move
toward the north, they generally lose their identity as hurricanes.
 
What is the eye of hurricane?
A. He power center of the storm
B. The part that determines its direction
C. The pressure form winds
D. The first part that makes landfall
 E. The calm center of the storm

PG74898.  Unlike beloved children’s stories, nature is a cruel, hard world that is painted
not in water colors but in blood. A study found that chemicals released by plants
as they are eaten can help push caterpillars to cannibalism. Many plants release
the chemical Methyl Jasmonate when stressed or damaged. Getting gnawed on
by a caterpillar is stressful, so when the caterpillars start biting, the chemical
flare goes up. Other nearby plants senses the flare and start producing their
own Methyl Jasmonate, building a camouflage around their leaves and stems.
Once all the food sources taste terrible, caterpillars turn to the next available
meal; each other. Plants with the time to build up a strong defense can make
their leaves so unappetizing that caterpillars will start eating each other to get
their fill, leaving the plant alone.

Researchers now plan to also look into how insect viruses are transferred
during their more carnivorous period. If viruses that harm caterpillars are
transferred more easily by cannibalism, that could be a gain for the plants. Not
only are their leaves protected from pests, but now those predators are
spreading disease amongst themselves, reducing the herbivore population
further.

Interestingly enough, cannibalism can serve some important functions among

these herbivores. Eating each other literally takes the competition out of the
food chain, and keeps the surviving population strong in a time when food
might be scarce. Therefore, we should not be to quick to judge these fuzzy tittle
cannibalism. It’s a bug eat bug world out there.

Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?

A. Stress may save plants from being consumed
B. Plants can manipulate their own perception of taste
C. Under constraints, plants can alter their predator’s appetite

food

PG74900.  Unlike beloved children’s stories, nature is a cruel, hard world that is painted
not in water colors but in blood. A study found that chemicals released by plants
as they are eaten can help push caterpillars to cannibalism. Many plants release
the chemical Methyl Jasmonate when stressed or damaged. Getting gnawed on
by a caterpillar is stressful, so when the caterpillars start biting, the chemical
flare goes up. Other nearby plants senses the flare and start producing their
own Methyl Jasmonate, building a camouflage around their leaves and stems.
Once all the food sources taste terrible, caterpillars turn to the next available
meal; each other. Plants with the time to build up a strong defense can make
their leaves so unappetizing that caterpillars will start eating each other to get
their fill, leaving the plant alone.

Researchers now plan to also look into how insect viruses are transferred
during their more carnivorous period. If viruses that harm caterpillars are
transferred more easily by cannibalism, that could be a gain for the plants. Not
only are their leaves protected from pests, but now those predators are
spreading disease amongst themselves, reducing the herbivore population
further.

Interestingly enough, cannibalism can serve some important functions among

these herbivores. Eating each other literally takes the competition out of the
food chain, and keeps the surviving population strong in a time when food
might be scarce. Therefore, we should not be to quick to judge these fuzzy tittle
cannibalism. It’s a bug eat bug world out there.

The topic of  this passage is …..

PG74909.            Cabbage is a common vegetable native to England and northwestern

France but now grown in many parts of Europe, Asia, and the American
continents. There are three kinds of cabbage, and all have the common
characteristics of leaves grown very close together, forming a hard, round head.
The three types are white, savoy, and red. While the white and red cabbages
have prominent veins in their leaves, the savoy has wrinkled and blistered
leaves.
          Cabbage seeds are quite small. Farmers normally sow the seed in rows that
are about 36 inches apart. After young plants have sprouted, the rows are
thinned to allow a space of 18 to 24 inches apart between plants.
          Cabbage is a biennial. Farmers normally grow it one year, store it during
the winter, and replant it in the spring to produce seed. By controlling the
temperature to which the plant is subjected in this way, farmers can produce
either heads or seeds.
 
What is biennial?
A. Something that is able to fertilize seeds without another plant
B. A member of the cabbage family
C. Something that grow over two-year period, alternating between producing
plants and seeds
D. Something that cannot withstand cold temperatures.
E. Something that help farmer to graft the plants.
