　 Airtight plastic bags can help farmers protect their harvests without the use of harmful chemicals. These bags are designed to keep air out of crops in storage. Using them is a simple way to fight insects and keep crops fresh.

　 Ten countries in West and Central Africa are involved in a project to improve the storage of cowpeas, also

known as black-eyed peas. Farmers can lose much of the harvest to insects called bruchids (豆象), which grow from egg to adult in a few weeks and then lay forty to sixty eggs. They can destroy the whole harvest within months.

　 Farmers can sell their crops immediately. But selling at harvest time means more competition and lower prices.Or they can use pesticides (杀虫剂) to kill the bugs. But a crop scientist Dieudonne Baributsa says, “They end up misusing or overusing the pesticide. In Nigeria, they have reported a lot of cases of death. They usually call cowpeas ‘killer beans’ in Nigeria.”

　 Mr. Baributsa is a researcher at Purdue University in Indiana, America. The project is called PICS---Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage. He says the storage bags are thick enough that any insects already in the cowpeas willdie from a lack of oxygen. The lack of air will also help prevent the growth of bacteria that can ruin the harvest. The bags cost about two dollars each. Mr. Baributsa says that is not much, especially if it means farmers can wait long enough to get a better price for their crops. The bags are produced locally. Donors currently support the project, but the groups involved are working to build a lasting market for the bags because donation for the project will not lastforever.

　 A company based in the United States called GrainPro makes another kind of airtight bags. These are called SuperGrainbags. Phil Villers, the company’s president, says storing a harvest safely not only helps farmers earn more money, but also reduces the amount of the harvest loss to insects, spoilage and mishandling. “What does not get wasted and eaten means it is possible to feed a hungry world,” said Phil Villers.

62．It can be inferred that bruchids_______.

63．How does the name of “killer beans” come out?

　　　 A．The beans are poisonous by nature.　　　　 　 B．People eat beans that are infected by bugs.

　　　 C．Farmers use chemicals to kill bugs improperly.　 D．Bugs ruin beans within a short time.

64．Which statement of the following is NOT true?

　　　 A．Any insects in the bags will soon use up the air and then die.　

B．The airtight plastic bags currently sold on the market do not last long.

　　　 C．The project provides the farmers with the bags for free at present.　　

D．What farmers can earn from the use of the bags is more than they have to pay.

65．According to the passage, the storage bags can do the following EXCEPT______.

　　　 A．double the total harvest　　　　 B．raise farmers’ income

　　　 C．help fight world hunger　 　　　 D．help project crops from being spoiled
