Most of them purchased his products but they borrowed money from Ramesh to buy the products Everyone promised to pay him back within the next 15 days During the last week of June amidst heavy showers

health refers to a person s emotional and psychological well being A state of emotional and psychological well being in which an individual is able to use his or her thinking and emotional feeling

to handle normal levels of stress having good friends and family and leading an independent life and being able to bounce back or recovering from hardships are all signs of mental health Public Health refers to trying to stop a disease that is unhealthy to the community and does not help in long life or promote your health This is fixed by organized efforts and choices of society public and private clubs communities and individuals It is about the health of many people or everybody rather than one person Public health stops instead of encouraging a disease through surveillance 监督 of cases To

healthy behaviors C The oil from palms 棕榈 has a wide variety of uses and is found in food soaps and shampoos An international team found a gene that made some of the trees produce more oil than others Dr Rajinder Singh from government agency the Malaysian Palm Oil Board said The oil palm has three fruit forms a thick shelled type the Dura those that don t have any shell the Pisifera a third form produced as a cross between the thick shell and the one without the shell the Tenera which are more of the fleshy fruit to produce the oil and the researchers identified the gene producing this trait While oil palm growers attempt to grow only the thin shelled Tenera variety up to 10 of the seeds can be contaminated 污染的 and turn out to be the other less oily plants Prof Martienssen from the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory said We can now use that gene in genetic testing which will allow growers as well as producers to know exactly what sort of tree they are planting before it produces fruit It takes a long time for these trees to produce fruit but by being able to predict exactly what sort of fruit that trees will produce it will greatly assist growers The researchers say this could offer a more sustainable form of agriculture Prof Martienssen said This finding gives us huge hope We hope to maximize land usage and produce a lot more on the same amount of land because we do not want to destroy the rainforest any more However the environmental group WWF UK said that the global demand for oil palm was growing rapidly making the expansion of plantations inevitable Adam Harrison the organization s food and agriculture policy officer said In a sense it does not matter if a good variety replaces forest or a bad one the wildlife and communities that need access to that land will suffer So for palm oil to be sustainable the process of allocating 分 配 land needs to be controlled There is an abundance of low carbon low wildlife and conflict free land available and there is no more need for forest areas to be changed 66 What can we infer from the passage A The plantation of oil palms has decreased in recent years B The Dura produces less oil than other two types of palm fruit C It takes less time to produce fruit Pisifera than other two types of fruit D The researchers are trying to produce more palms with the fruit Tenera 67 What difficulty are the oil palm growers faced with A The more oily palms easily died of bad weather B The more oily palms can change to the less oily ones C They don t have enough land to grow oil palms D They are unable to predict exactly what sort of fruit the trees they are planting will produce 68 According to his statement in Paragraph 4 Prof Martienssen thought they should A expand the plantation of oil palms B plant more other trees instead of oil palms C make full use of less land to plant oil palms D only grow the more sustainable type of oil palms 69 The underlined word inevitable in the last but one paragraph means A unchangeable B improper C uncertain D impractical 70 Over which issue Adam Harrison showed his concern A The oil palm is not a good replacement of the forest B The palm oil the researchers are testing is unsustainable C There is not enough land for the plantation of oil palms D The plantation of oil palms will affect the native environment PART FOUR WRITING 45 SECTION A 10 Directions Read the
