Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.

Fruit Fly Fix

It is breakfast time. You have been looking forward to eating a nice ripe banana
ever since you woke up. Just when you reach for the delicious piece of fruit on your
counter, you see something that makes you much less hungry: a swarm of fruit flies!
Fruit flies are tiny insects that are attracted to ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables.
The flies not only eat the fruit, they also lay their eggs there. A single fruit fly can lay up
to 500 eggs on the surface of a piece of fruit. Within eight days, the fruit flies that hatch
from these eggs are full adults that can lay their own eggs. As you can see, what might
start out as a small fruit fly problem can become very large very quickly.

Although there is a chance fruit flies can carry germs on to your food, this is not
very likely. Fruit flies are annoying, but they probably will not hurt you. Because they are
such a nuisance, however, most people want to get rid of these pesky bugs as quickly as
possible. Some people use pesticide sprays on the fruit flies. Although this will kill the
flies, it will also spread harmful poison all over your kitchen. Luckily, there is also a
completely safe way for you to get rid of fruit flies in your house.

The first step is for you to remove all fruits or vegetables from your counter. Store
these items in the refrigerator or in sealed containers. Clean up any spilled juice or bits of
food that might be on the floor. Take out the trash and empty the recycling bin. Wash any
dirty dishes that are in your sink. Doing all of these things will stop new fruit flies from
finding food or places to lay their eggs.

Next, make a trap to catch all of the remaining fruit flies in your house. First, fill a
small bowl with a few tablespoons of vinegar. Then, put a piece of very ripe or rotting
fruit into the vinegar. Cover the bowl very tightly with a sheet of plastic wrap and poke a
few very small holes in the wrap with a fork. If all goes according to plan, the flies will
enter the trap through the holes but will be unable to fly back out. This trap will catch all
of the remaining fruit flies. You can either kill these flies or release them outdoors.

39
 Fruit flies can be a pest, but they do not have to make you crazy. With a little effort,
you can get existing flies out of your house and prevent new ones from taking over your
kitchen.

Questions:
1) Figure out from this passage, we learn that fruit flies
I. die immediately after they lay their eggs
II. can grow into adults after only 8 days
III. are mostly harmless

A. I only
B. I and II only
C. II and III only
D. I, II, and III

2) As used in paragraph 3, identify the word “nuisance” is something that

A. bothers you
B. can be dangerous
C. grows fast
D. is very small

3) According to the passage, why should you not use pesticide spray to kill fruit flies?
A. most sprays do not actually kill all of the fruit flies
B. buying sprays can get expensive if you need to use a lot of them
C. the sprays take too much time to work
D. it can be dangerous to use them in your kitchen

4) Based on the information in the penultimate (next-to-last) paragraph, we can

understand that the author thinks that
A. some people do not mind having fruit flies in their house
B. some people do not like killing insects
C. fruit flies do not like vinegar
D. making a fruit fly trap can be difficult

5) Imagine you had a fruit fly outbreak in your kitchen. What would you do to
handle the situation?
A. I Would use pesticide spray to kill fruit flies.

40
 B. I would make a trap like the advice given in the text.
C. I would leave my house.
D. I would call the police.

6) Figure out the first step to get rid of fruit flies in your house safely
A. Use pesticide sprays on the fruit flies.
B. Remove all fruits or vegetables from your counter.
C. Fill a small bowl with a few tablespoons of vinegar.
D. Put a piece of very ripe or rotting fruit into the vinegar.

7) How many eggs a pair of fruit flies can lay?

A. 1200
B. 800
C. 500
D. 1000

Comprehension 2
Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.

To Whom it May Concern:

On March 5, 2010, I bought a Perfect Muffin Kit from your store at

Midfield Mall. The cashier who assisted me was George. George was very
friendly and assured me that the Perfect Muffin Kit would live up to the
guarantee on the box: “Perfect Muffins Every Time!”

Unfortunately, this product did not live up to its claim. Although the box
promised, as I stated above, to provide “Perfect Muffins Every Time,” the
muffins I made were far from perfect. I followed the directions included in the
package very carefully. First, I removed the bag of mix from the box. Then, I
poured it into a bowl. Next, I added the correct amount of water to the mix and
stirred it. The directions said that after stirring the mixture, I could, and I quote,
“add half a cup of raisins, nuts, berries, or another favorite ingredient.” My
favorite ingredient happens to be hot sauce. I find that a dash of hot sauce makes
pizza, pasta, and soup taste very delicious. So, continuing to follow the
directions, I added half a cup of hot sauce to the mix and stirred it. Finally, I

41
 poured the mix into muffin tins and baked it in the oven at 350 degrees for
exactly 20 minutes.

When the muffins finished baking, I was very excited to eat the “Perfect
Muffins” as promised on the box. You can imagine my disappointment when,
upon tasting the muffins, I discovered that they were not perfect. These muffins
were, in fact, absolutely terrible. Not even my dog was interested in eating these
supposedly “perfect” muffins.

I would appreciate a full refund ($3.99) for this product as soon as

possible. Enclosed are the receipt, the empty box, and one of the un-perfect
muffins so that you can experience it for yourself. Thank you for your prompt
attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Michelle Bauer

Comprehension 3

When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We
might be scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however,
we learn that sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In
fact, the animal that kills the most people every year is one that you have probably
killed yourself many times: the mosquito.
While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case.
Male mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal
blood. They need this blood to live and produce eggs. When a female mosquito bites a
human being, it transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood. This saliva may or
may not contain a deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy
bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry
diseases from one person to another very easily. Two of the most deadly diseases
carried by mosquitoes are malaria and yellow fever. More than 700 million people
become sick from these diseases every year. At least 2 million of these people will die
from these diseases.
Many scientists are working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so
far, there is no sure way to protect everyone in the world from their deadly bites.
Mosquito nets can be placed over beds to protect people against being bitten. These
nets help people stay safe at night, but they do not kill any mosquitoes. Mosquitoes
have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and certain kinds of fish.
Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might help to cut
down the amount of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does not

44
always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. Even
though these sprays kill mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals.
Although mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals,
they are far more dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly
likely that one day scientists will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes
and the diseases they carry.

 For two months, I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream. I have
narrowed it down to my four favorite manufacturers: Randolph Farms, Goodies, Disco,
and Twinkle.
Let's start with Randolph Farms. Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream.
They have lots of different flavors, but this doesn't really matter to me. That's because I
always get coffee flavor. They make the best coffee ice cream in the world. I've never had
hot coffee (the drink) but people tell me that Randolph Farms coffee ice cream tastes just
like the real thing. Also, Randolph Farms uses all natural ingredients to make their ice
cream. This is a good idea, I think.
Second, we have Goodies. Goodies makes excellent ice cream. Like Randolph
Farms, Goodies uses all natural ingredients. They only make three different flavors—
strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate— but they make them very well. The strawberry is
amazing. Every bite of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to pick behind my old
house. The vanilla is wonderful. It is very smooth and has a refreshing, creamy taste. The
chocolate is outstanding. It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia. I didn't know
where Bolivia is so I decided to look for it on a map. After hunting awhile, I discovered
that it is in South America! That's a long way to go to get cocoa, so it must be good. I
would say that the only drawback to Goodies ice cream is that they only make three
different flavors.
Third, we have Disco. Disco ice cream is okay. They don't have many good flavors.
Actually, the only Disco flavor I like is Bubblegum. It is vanilla ice cream with little
chunks of bubblegum in it. After you eat the ice cream, you can blow bubbles with the
gum. That's pretty fun.
Finally, there is Twinkle. Twinkle ice cream is mediocre. The only good thing about
Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive. You can buy a whole carton of twinkle ice
cream for $4.50. That's only two weeks' allowance for me.

Comprehension 5

Directions: Read the passage. Then answer the questions below.

Many people who are looking to get a pet dog get a puppy. There are many reasons
why people get puppies. After all, puppies are cute, friendly, and playful. But even though
puppies make good pets, there are good reasons why you should consider getting an adult
dog instead.
When you get a puppy, you have to teach it how to behave. You have to make sure
that the puppy is housebroken so that it does not go to the bathroom inside the house. You
have to teach the puppy not to jump up on your guests or chew on your shoes. You have to
train the puppy to walk on a leash. This is a lot of work.

49
 On the other hand, when you get an adult dog, there is a good chance that it will
already know how to do all of the previously mentioned things. Many adult dogs have
already been housebroken. Many adult dogs will not jump on or chew things that you do
not want them to jump on or chew. Many adult dogs will be able to walk on a leash
without pulling you to the other side of the street.
Puppies also have a lot of energy and want to play all of the time. This can be fun,
but you might not want to play as much as your puppy does. Puppies will not always sleep
through the night or let you relax as you watch television.
On the other hand, most adult dogs will wait on you to play. What is more, they will
sleep when you are sleeping and are happy to watch television on the couch right beside
you.
There is one last reason why you should get an adult dog instead of a puppy. When
most people go to the pound to get a dog, they get a puppy. This means that many adult
dogs spend a lot of time in the pound, and some never find good homes. So if you are
looking to get a dog for a pet, you should think about getting an adult dog. They are good
pets who need good homes.
