Many people are unaware of how pesticides affect our food supplies. Health risks are inevitable result.
Pesticides can run off into nearby streams, where they are carried from their original dispersal site. This is how
pesticides end up in drinking water, fish and game. And because of wind, rain and evaporation, residues routinely
show up in animals in the remotest parts of the world. For example, if grain fields or rough lands are sprayed with
pesticides, residues can show up in poultry, eggs, milk, and butter. The end result is that every food we eat carries
pesticides as the inevitable consequence of spraying crops with these poisons. And human exposure doesn’t even
end there: residues are transferred from mother to child through the placenta and mother’s milk.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions from 43 to 50.
Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another. Smoke signals and
tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication. Letter, carried by birds or by humans on food or
on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between two places. The
telegraph and telephone set the stage for more modern means of communication. With the invention of the
cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile.
For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you or your friends use to keep in touch with your family
and friends, take pictures, play games, or text messages. The definition of a cell phone is more specific: It is a
hand- held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called
cells.
Walkies-talkies, telephones, and cell phones are duplex communication devices; they make it possible for
tow people to talk to each other. Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because they
can be used in many different locations. A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a half- duplex communication
device. Because only one person can talk at a time. A cell phone is a full-duplex device because it uses both
frequencies at the same time. A walkie-talkie has only one channel. A cell phone has more than a thousand
channels, across a distance of about a mile. A walkie- talkie can transmit and receive signals over hundreds of
miles. In 1973, an electronic company called Motorola hired martin Cooper to work on wireless communication.
Motorola and and Bell Laboratories (now AT&T) were in a race to invent the first portable communication
device. Martin Cooper won the race and became the inventor of the cell phone. On April 3, 1973, Cooper made
the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking down the street of the New York City. People on
the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement as he walked down the street talking on his cellular phone. Cooper’s
phone was called Motorola Dyna-Tac. It weighed a whopping 2 ½ pounds (as compared to today’s cell phones
that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)
After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the
general public. After ten years, Motorola introduced the first cell phones for commercial use. The early cell phone
and its service were both very expensive. The cell phone itself cost about $ 3,500. In 1977, AT&T constructed a
cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2,000 customers. In 1981, a second cellular phone system
was started in Washington ,D.C. and Baltimore area. It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available
for general public use. Today there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing
over thirty billion dollars per year.
