correct answer to each of the Question from 8 to 12.
Ranging from viruses to humans, genes from virtually all kinds of organisms can now be inserted into
plants, creating what are known as transgenic plants. Now used in agriculture, there are approximately
109 million acres of transgenic crops grown worldwide, 68 percent of which are in the United States. The
most common transgenic crops are soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola. More often than not, these plants
will contain a gene that either makes them resistant to the herbicide glyphosate or produces an insect-
resistant protein called Bt toxin.
Advocates of transgenic crops argue that the benefit of these crops is that they are environmentally
friendly, allowing farmers to use smaller amounts of less noxious chemicals for crop production. For
example, there has been a 21 percent reduction in the use of insecticide reported on Bt cotton (transgenic
cotton that produces Bt toxin). In addition, when glyphosate is used to control weeds, other more
persistent herbicides do not need to be applied.
However, adversaries of transgenic crops suggest that there are still many unanswered Question that
must be addressed before transgenic crops will be safe to grow on a larger scale. Some Question concern
the effects that Bt plants have on non-target organisms, such as beneficial insects, worms, and birds that
consume the genetically engineered crop. For example, monarch caterpillars feeding on milkweed plants
near Bt cornfields feed on corn pollen that has fallen on the milkweed leaves. Laboratory studies indicate
that caterpillars can die from eating Bt pollen. However, field tests indicate that Bt corn is not likely to
harm monarchs. Furthermore, the application of pesticides (the alternative to growing Bt plants) has been
demonstrated to cause widespread harm to non-target insects.
Another question that remains unanswered is whether herbicide-resistant genes will move into the
various populations of weeds. Crop plants are sometimes grown in areas where weedy relatives also live.
If the crop plants crossbreed and reproduce with weedy relatives, then this herbicide-resistant gene will be
perpetuated in the offspring. In this way, the resistant gene can make its way into the weed population. If
this happens, a farmer can no longer use glyphosate, for example, to kill those weeds.
Question 8. What is the passage mainly about?
 A. Advantages and disadvantages of inserting genes into crop plants.
B. How to have bumper crops.
C. How weeds and insects are resistant to glyphosate and pesticides.
D. Bt toxin in crop plants.

C. the studies in laboratory D. field tests

A. There are uncertainties about moving of herbicide-resistant genes into weeds.
B. Farmers can’t avoid using glyphosate to kill weeds.
C. Herbicide-resistant genes are bound to maintain in the offspring.

Lopburi is one of the oldest cities in Thailand. It is home to some spectacular ruins and top attractions,
including King Narai’s Lopburi Palace and Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat, a historic temple. Visiting
Lopburi is often left off many travelers’ itineraries, being that it is off the usual trail of cities that lure
tourists to Thailand in the first place. This might change, however, when tourists hear about one of
Thailand’s biggest festivals being held in Lopburi. the Monkey Festival.
In the 17th century, the Khmer Empire fell and King Narai of Ayutthaya rejuvenated the city. The
festival takes place at old Khmer ruins. Monkeys are a common sight all over the city of Lopburi, and
many will gather for the feast offered to them during this festival.The most important guests of the
evening are, of course, the long-tailed macaques. They have certainly become members of the city in their
own way and have intermixed with locals in everyday life. It is not uncommon to see these mischievous
creatures roaming the streets and intermixing with Thais and foreigners alike, though not many foreigners
call the city of Lopburi home.
In addition to one too many monkeys, the festival also has live performances and dances, with
monkeys participating throughout. Long tables are filled with food too, all offered to the monkeys. This
apparently bring people good luck, which is most likely why they are treated with such high respect in the
city. Some of the food included in the feasts includes sticky rice, fruit, and salad. Just hope you do not get
caught in the crossfire of a monkey food fight, which is a common occurrence at this festival.The Lopburi
Monkey Festival, also known as the Monkey Banquet, is not necessarily the best attraction for all tourists
of Thailand to attend. Monkeys can be aggressive, and they have been known to steal purses, bags, and
whatever else they can get their paws on. The town is overrun and home to many monkeys and apes, and
it will be difficult to escape them once visitors arrive in Lopburi.
