Unit 2 Working the land课时作业.阅读理解(2018江西省上饶市三模)Cotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying CocaCola and Pepsi，believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有泡沫的)drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests，and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicalsalthough soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks.N.Hamunayya，who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh，said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides.“We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests.The pests became dead and fell to the ground，”he said.He said the drinks had all the elements they needed：they were cheaper，sticky，fizzy，and attracted ants，which ate the young of the pests.But Thinupathi Reddy，assistant director of the Regional AgriResearch Station，Guntur，says tests had proved such results wrong.“We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station.There was no obvious productivity or destruction of pests，”he says.Statements from Pepsi and CocaCola said there was “no scientific basis”for this_practice.But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales.Mantan Wall，who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region，said sales rose up，thanks to the farmers.“For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business.Instead of just 30 cases(each containing a dozen onelitre bottles)of cola，I started selling almost 200 cases，”he said.“We expected the sales to drop after the news over pesticide residues(残留)in the cola drinks.Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers，”he said.In February，an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by CocaCola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards.The US firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhibased Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一件有趣的事，印度农民认为有泡沫的饮料具有杀虫作用，也就是百事可乐和可口可乐里面含杀虫刹，但两家公司对此予以否认。1The writers purpose of writing this passage is to _.Atell an interesting incidentBwarn people
