Birds
Birds are a kind of vertebrate animals, most birds have feathers and wings, and can fly, 
but not all of them can. Birds do not have teeth, but a hard beak or bill instead. They use the
beak to pick up food.
The food they eat gives them energy so that they have a power to fly. Flying takes a lot
of energy. When flying, they make different movements, sometimes by giding with their
wings held still or by flapping their wings up and down.
Unlike humans, birds do not give birth to babies. Instead, they lay eggs. After lying
eggs, a mother bird sits on the eggs to keep them warm until they hatch.
Birds spend most of their time looking for food using their keen eyesight. They use
their beak and claws to get bugs, worms, small mammal, fish, fruit, grain or nectar. Although
birds eat different food most of them feed on insects. Those that eat insects are cal
insectivores.

The following text is for question number 31 to 34
 There is no best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides which 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
farm product.
Secondly, pests can gradually become resistant to pesticides. This 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 of 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 pest in agriculture and livestock.
31.  Which of the following is not directly C. Animals
affected by pesticides used? D. Environment

C. Both paragraphs tell about how pesticides affect the quality of farm products
D. The statement in paragraph is contrary to the statement in paragraph four
E. The second paragraph tells about the effects of using pesticides on animals mentioned
