IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Human have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a
person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals.
Therefore, it was no wonder that when our ancuent ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the
ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people
snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and
salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that
you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects as
invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to ear. Therefore, being able to eat
insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because
they weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to
even try them.
If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over
the ‘yuck’ factor.
