The Cockroach

Many people are afraid of them. It has enjoyed life for thousands and

thousands of years. There are more than a thousand kinds of it found all over the world.

It is closely related to the cricket and the grasshopper but is not as pleasing. It is, in fact,

the most disgusting of all insects. What is it? It is the annoying cockroach.

The cockroach has an oval-shaped body that is covered with a shiny, tough

casing. It has two long feelers. It has long legs that are covered with bristles. These legs

are strong and help the cockroach to run fast. It is one of the fastest-running insects.

Some cockroaches have wings and can fly.

A cockroach will eat anything – food, grease, trash, books, chairs, other insects.

It can be found anywhere – homes, stores, bakeries. A cockroach is dirty and tarnishes

anything it touches.

The best way to keep a cockroach out of your house is to keep your house clean

and dry. A cockroach likes a house that is dirty, greasy, and damp. Seal cracks to

prevent the cockroach from entering the house. Dust cracks with roach powder. The

roach powder has poison in it. The poison gets on the cockroach’s legs, feelers, and

casing. The cockroach eats the poison as it grooms itself and soon it dies.

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Remember to always answer questions in a complete sentence. Poverty Five times a day, the crowd of students flocked around the window through which the caretaker sold her cakes, then broke up in the yard to play and walk about, while heartily biting into long pieces of a type of gingerbread with jam. And five times a day I was forced to endure this spectacle without participating in it. I never had a cent to my name. I was forced to stand in the background, and the sight of those cakes the pupils bought in a joyous uproar and devoured greedily and freely about me, overwhelmed me with passionate desire. Thus I began filling myself with water from the tap, in a corner of the yard and, every now and then, I returned to it, trying to drown my stomach to keep it qui
