Items 6-10 No matter where you live or when you were born, you almost surely have at least a

small amount of DDT stored in the fatty tissues of your body. Why? This notorious toxic pesticide, which led to the extinction of the American bald eagle in1970s, has long been banned in the U.S. and most other developed countries. But according to a new report by the World Wildlife Fund in Washington, DDT is still used in many developing nations, mainly because it’s so effective in controlling mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite.

The persistence of DDT is a problem—and not just in the countries that use it. DDT and several other common chlorine-containing pesticides are sturdy molecules that can stay intact for decades. They evaporate into the atmosphere and are blown by the wind all over the globe. They condense and fall to the ground in cold weather, especially in higher altitudes. Some of the highest concentrations of DDT are found in polar bears, penguins and the Inuit people of northern Canada.

Although levels of DDT contamination are gradually falling in countries where the pesticide has been banned, new scientific research suggests that the chemicals are still a serious threat everywhere. Studies show that even small amounts of pesticides can disrupt the working of human hormones, interfering with reproduction and the functioning of the immune system. That’s why representatives of more than 100 nations gathered at a U.N. meeting in Nairobi to work toward a global treaty that would phase out DDT and 11 other pesticides, known as the “dirty dozen.” Environmentalists say it’s possible to find alternative way to fight malaria—and get rid of DDT once and for all.

Notorious (adj) ซงเปนอนตรายแฃะเปนพษ

When asked about the future of TV and of video on the internet, people reveal profound differences in attitudes based on age groups, We asked people ages 12-64 if they agreed with two statements about the future of TV and competition with the computer for entertainment time. When asked whether they agreed that “the computer increasingly competes with the TV for my entertainment time,” 29% of people said they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement. Males overall agreed at a slightly higher rate than females, and, importantly when looking at future trends, the younger generation of 18-to-24-year-olds was considerably more focused on the computer as competition for the TV; 36% agreed vs. 29% for the total population. Only 25% of 35-to 44-year-olds said the computer competes with the TV for entertainment. When we asked consumers if the internet represents “the future” of video viewing, the group that agreed most strongly was the 18-to-24 group with 28% of men agreeing and 20% of women. Clearly, the 18-to-24 population is leading the way in adopting new paradigms for entertainment.

In a perfect world, the ideal home would have “a place for everything, and everything in its place.” But as a family grows, and new interests and hobbies flourish, we all collect essential items and hesitate to throw out anything re-usable. As a result, our homes become more crowded with possessions, and adequate storage is essential to keep everything clean and safe as well as to create a pleasant home environment.

As a general rule, you can never have too much storage because your possessions will tend to grow to fit all the available space. You may wish to have a flexible system for all the essentials, but may find in many apartments and houses there is not much room in which to install shelves, cupboards and drawers in the first place. Or you may be restricted by a tight budget and have to use some temporary storage initially until you can afford something more permanent.

Ideal (n) ความสมบรณแบบ = perfection / (adj) ซงสมบรณแบบ

Essential (adj) ซงจาเปน , ซงมความสาคญ = prime, significant, important, inevitable

Hesitate (v) ลงเล / hesitation (n) การลงเล

Possession (n) การครอบครอง , การเปนเจาของ / possess (v) ครอบครอง

Inadequate (adj) ซงไมเพยงพอ = deficient, insufficient, scarce

Reading Comprehension 2 Passage 1

1 KidZania is a nation just for kids. In other words, it is an educational and entertainment family theme park that allows children to role-play adult activities in a replica city with a functioning economy. At KidZania, children can enjoy playing the role of a number of careers, including a journalist, teacher, flight attendant, pilot, doctor, singer, and banker. 2 And of course, when they work, they earn. This edutainment nation has an official currency called KidZos. If children choose to work as a journalist, for example, they will be given a training session before going out from their news station to cover newsworthy events that happen within KidZania. Then they come back to write a story which will be published in the replica city’s newspaper. Similarly, if they choose to be a flight attendant, a technician, a nurse or any other job, they will be provided with on-the-job training before being allowed to work in their respective role. 3 The KidZos they earn can be spent on goods and services in the city. And if kids earn a lot, they can save their “money’ and earn interest in the KidZania bank. ATM machines are available in the center for them to make withdrawals from their bank accounts. By this means, children learn the value of money. They are prepared for the real world and realize that if they want to have something, they have to work hard for it.

A number of male snores account for 20 to 50 per cent, while female snorers stand at 10 to 20 per cent. Snoring also increases with age. It is mostly found in people aged above 40. Children also can snore due to health problems. Factors of adults’ snoring vary, including age, gender, facial bone structure, genetic cause, obesity, drinking and smoking which damage the respiratory system.
