In a city with trillions of American cockroaches(蟑螂), the Houston Museum of Natural Science has agreed to pay a quarter per bug-up to 1,000-as it seeks to populate a new insect exhibit alongside its Cockrell Butterfly Center. Nancy Greig, the museums director insists the public payday for roaches isnt just a marketing ploy(炒作). “Absolutely, this wasnt devised as a joke, Greig said. We needed more roaches for the exhibit, so I sent this message out to everyone in the museum asking people to bring them in. Well, someone decided to tell the press, and all hell has broken loose. “But we really do need cockroaches. “One might be forgiven for never considering how to catch a live cockroach. But its simple enough to fool them, Greig said, and even easier to catch them. American cockroaches are the most mon kind in Texas, measuring up to 2 inches long and invading homes. Despite their less-than-attractive reputation, cockroaches actually arent that dirty. Greig even went so far as to call them “fastidious” saying they dont enjoy rooting(用嘴拱食) in waste. Theyre only dirty if, say, they used a sewer(下水道)line to gain aess into a home. The roaches collected by the museum will bee part of a display in a new exhibit that showcases insects such as cockroaches, dung beetles and termites. Theres more to like about roaches, too. They dont bite, and they dont carry diseases like a mosquito, so theyre generally safe to handle. 56.For what does the museum pay for cockroaches? 【湖北省xx届第五次综合测试】【细节理解】 A.For a marketing ploy.
