Bees, classified into over 10,000 species, are insects found in almost every part of the world except the
northernmost and southernmost regions. One commonly known species is the honeybee, the only bee that
produces honey and wax. Humans use the wax in making candles, lipsticks, and other products, and they use the
honey as a substance that people eat to maintain life and growth. While gathering the nectar and pollen with
which they make honey, bees are simultaneously helping to fertilize the flowers on which they land. Many fruits
and vegetables would not survive if bees did not carry the pollen from blossom to blossom.

Bees live in a structured environment and social structure within a hive, which is a nest with storage space for the
honey. The different types of bees each perform a unique function. The worker bee carries nectar to hive in a
special stomach called a honey stomach. Other workers make beeswax and shape it into a honeycomb, which is
a waterproof mass of six-sided compartments, or cells. The queen lays eggs in completed cells. As the workers
build more cells, the queen lays more eggs.
All workers, like the queen, are female, but the workers are smaller than the queen. The male honeybees are called
drones; they do no work and cannot sting. They are developed from unfertilized eggs, and their only job is to
impregnate a queen. The queen must be fertilized in order to lay more worker eggs. During the season when less
honey is available and the drone is of no further use, the workers block the drones from eating the honey so that
they will starve to death.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
There are three valid arguments to support the preservation of endangered species. An aesthetic justification
contends that biodiversity contributes to the quality of life because many of the endangered plants and animals
are particularly appreciated for their unique physical beauty. The aesthetic role of nature in all its diverse forms
is reflected in the art and literature of every culture, attaining symbolic status in the spiritual life of many groups.

According to the proponents of the aesthetic argument, people need nature in all its diverse and beautiful forms
as part of the experience of the world.
Another argument that has been put forward, especially by groups in the medical and pharmacological fields, is
that of ecological self–interest. By preserving all species, we retain a balance of nature that is ultimately beneficial
to humankind. Recent research on global ecosystems has been cited as evidence that every species contributes
important or even essential functions that may be necessary to the survival of our own species. Some advocates
of the ecological argument contend that important chemical compounds derived from rare plants may contain the
key to a cure for one of the diseases currently threatening human beings. If we do not protect other species, then
they cannot protect us.
Apart from human advantage in both the aesthetic and ecological arguments, the proponents of a moral
justification contend that all species have the right to exist, a viewpoint stated in the United Nations World Charter
for Nature, created in 1982. Furthermore, if humankind views itself as the stewards of all the creatures on Earth,
then it is incumbent upon human beings to protect them, and to ensure the continued existence of all species.
Moral justification has been extended by a movement called "deep ecology", the members of which rank the
biosphere higher than people because the continuation of life depends on this larger perspective. To carry their
argument to its logical conclusion, all choices must be made for the biosphere, not for people.
