TASK 1: READ THE TEXT AND COMPLETE THE CHART

Good afternoon. I’m Nikita Utami, and you are listening to ABC Afternoon
Report. We will bring you interesting news for the next thirty minutes. Let’s start
with news from researchers at Florida International University.
It has been decades since scientists discovered mosquitoes’ attraction to human
sweat, which contain lactic acid. However, back then, the era of advanced genetics
had not yet arrived, so the precise mechanism of this phenomenon was still a
mystery. Now, because technology is more advanced, researchers from Florida
International University can precisely describe the mechanism. Mosquitoes have a
strong olfactory receptor that helps them detect human odor. These diseases-
carrying insects’ receptors can be switched on and off. Furthermore, in a journal
titled “Current Biology,” they also discuss Aides aegypti. These mosquitoes are
infamous for spreading deadly diseases like yellow fever, dengue fever, and Zika.
The team of researchers was led by an FIU biologist named Matthew DeGennaroe.
Under his leadership, the team succeeded in identifying the receptor as Ionotropic
Receptor 8a or IR8a for short. The success wouldn’t have happened if not for his
earlier research in 2013. Through a process of elimination, Matthew successfully
made the world’s first mutant mosquito. Matthew removed a gene from a mosquito
to inspect how its absence affected the mosquito.
Listeners, we’ll be back with Afternoon Report after the following advertisement.
Stay tuned to ABC Radio.

The National Army BOMB squad had examined what it thought was a suspicious
device in part of Wicklow Park, outside London, on Thursday. An incident
involving a bomb threat near the pond of Wicklow Park has ended, as Defense
Forces confirm it was a hoax call-out. Part of Wicklow Park and the surrounding
roads were closed off by the police and a remote bomb disposal robot was
deployed to detect the bomb.
“The police along with the Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit
examined a suspicious package near the pond and it later established there was no
threat.” Said Major Tim Attwood, head of the Army Bomb squad.
B. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE FACTUAL CONTENT OF THE NEWS:
● Who : The National Army BOMB squad
● What : suspicious device
● When : Thursday
● Where: Wicklow Park
● Why : it was a hoax call-out
● How : a remote bomb disposal robot was deployed

C. SUMMARIZE THE NEWS IN ONE PARAGRAPH.

A suspicious package found at Wicklow Park on Thursday. The police
closed some parts of Wicklow Park and deployed a remote bomb disposal
robot to detect the package. But they examined that there was no threat in
that package. The Defense Forces confirm that it was a hoax call-out.
