Raised on the farm， Padma Suresh had a love for agriculture just like her father.Young Padma would spend most of her evening after school in the fields， learning the art of organic farming.
After moving to the city， she began missing the farm.Faced with the limited space， Padma felt the absence of fresh vegetables.Besides， she was disappointed with the taste and quality of shop-bought vegetables.Because chemicals used on vegetables were harmful to human health， she finally decided to take matters into her own hands and change her yard into a vegetable garden.
Now 48， Padma has devoted the past 12 years to developing a garden with 200 plants of 20 varieties of vegetables.She relies on natural fertilizers.Additionally， she uses creative organic farming methods like preparing liquid fertilizers from fish.
Her husband Suresh Ettan， who is now working in an oil and gas company， said， “As I don’t eat meat， I have limited food choices in the city.Now every morning， my wife sends me a good breakfast.Apart from that， she also shares the photos of her day’s harvest.I take pride in showing those photos to my colleagues.”
For Padma， the garden has become a source of joy and also a link to her rural roots.Padma says she finds connection to her village through the traditional recipes and taste of home-grown vegetables.More importantly， by growing her own food， the gardener has not only found a way to provide a supply of organic vegetables to her family but also a way to earn some money.Earning money was what she didn’t expect.Padma says she has a small shop where she sells extra vegetables.Within an hour， all her vegetables are sold out.This organic farming business earns her up to Rs 1，000.

Where were the dull sounds of flying insects hitting against the light bulb？ Even the absent singing of cicadas or crickets， whichever they were， had quieted its instruments.Where have all the insects gone？
Our own existence depends on a diverse insect world.Studies show that where more insect species are present， pollination （授粉） is more reliable.As Dave Goulson， professor of biology， points out in his book Silent Earth： Averting the Insect Apocalypse， about three-quarters of all crops grown by humans require pollination by animals， the vast majority by insects.“We could not feed the global human population without pollinators，” he writes.It’s not just about bees and butterflies， the beautiful insects.Other， less visually appealing pollinators such as flies， moths， and earwigs are also showing declines.Several of these species don’t just pollinate.They also eat the pest （害虫） insects that ruin crops.
It turns out that ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years.The culprits are climate change， habitat loss， light pollution， intensive farming， pesticide and fertilizer use.
But it’s a struggle to get people to act.After all， we humans have a complicated relationship with our six-legged fellow companions.Who can forget the horror of Kafka’s The Metamorphosis （《变形记》）， where a travelling salesman wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect？ Even insects like butterflies and bees can seem strange when you look at them closely.Maybe we’ve been ignoring them because they seem different from us.
Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial lights.A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing， lit by street lights at night， seem to have tougher leaves.In other words， insects are probably being starved in the area.
We should change our attitudes to insects.Those annoying flies hovering around your food are simply doing what they were born for.They’re recycling.Without them we might be wondering what to do about rotting （腐烂的） waste.Besides， they’re food for birds， and UK bird populations have greatly decreased in recent years.
5.What can we learn about insects in the first two paragraphs？（ ）
A.Less appealing insects are on the increase.
B.Beautiful insects can help kill the pests.
C.Insect pollination affects the crop types.
D.Insect decline threatens global food supply.
6.What does the underlined word “culprits” mean in Paragraph 3？（ ）
A.Solutions. B.Causes.
C.Effects. D.Consequences.
7.What does the author want to say by mentioning Kafka’s The Metamorphosis？（ ）
A.The book of insects is interesting.
B.Unattractive insects are ignored.
C.Insects are everywhere in our lives.
D.People have complex feelings to insects.
8.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text？（ ）
A.To explore the diversity of the insects.
B.To compare the different features of insects.
C.To warn about the insect decline and its effects.
D.To review the history of human-insect relationship.
