 Unsafe levels of pesticides are present in around half of the vegetables and more than a quarter of fruits sold in the capital’s markets, a recent survey has found. A 15-member team of the National Food Safety Laboratory, with support from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), came up with the findings after collecting and testing food samples from the capital’s Gulshan, Karwanbazar and Mohakhali markets.
The survey report, a copy of which was acquired by the Dhaka Tribune, read that nearly 40% of 82 samples of milk, milk products, fish, fruits and vegetables contained banned pesticides such as DDT, Aldrin, Chlordane and Heptachlor. The amounts of pesticide in these samples were found to be 3 to 20 times greater than the limits set by the European Union. Around 50% vegetables and 35% fruits were found to be contaminated with unsafe level of pesticides.
Analyzing more than 30 samples of turmeric powder (branded, packaged and open), the team also found that nearly 30% of the samples contained traces of lead chromate, which can be fatal if swallowed or inhaled. These samples also contained lead at 20 to 50 times above the safety limit of 2.5 parts per million set by the Bangladesh Standard testing Institute (BSTI). Arsenic and chromium above safety limits were detected in a total of 5 out 13 rice samples. 
Answer : A recent survey has found that the food products that are being sold throughout the capital city of Bangladesh are unsafe. They contain very harmful and banned chemicals. Test results on the samples indicate that the products contain harmful chemicals that are above the safety limit set by the 
European Union. Even they are much above the safety limit set by the Bangladesh Standard testing Institute (BSTI).
5. Summarize the following text.
Then a terrible thing happened. While we were waiting for the coffee, the head waiter, with an ingratiating smile on his false face, came up to us bearing a large basket full of huge peaches. They had the blush of an innocent girl; they had the rich tone of an Italian landscape. But surely peaches were not in season then? Lord knew what they cost.
“You see, you’ve filled your stomach with a lot of meat”- my one miserable little chop – “and you can’t eat any more. But I’ve just had a snack and I shall enjoy a peach”.
The bill came and when I paid it I found that I had only enough for a quite inadequate tip. Her eyes rested for an instant on the three francs I left for the waiter, and I knew that she thought me mean. But when I walked out of the restaurant I had the whole month before me and not a penny in my pocket.
“Follow my example,” she said as we shook hand, and never eat more than one thing for luncheon.”
“I’ll do better than that”, I retorted. “I’ll eat nothing for dinner for to-night.” “Humorist!” she cried gaily, jumping into a cab, “you’re quite a humorist!” 
But I have had my revenge at last. I do not believe that I am a vindictive man, but when the immortal gods take a hand in the matter it is pardonable to observe the result with complacency. Today she weighs twenty one stone.
Answer : The writer and the ladz were waiting for coffee ; just then the head waiter came with a large basket of huge peaches. The ladz wanted to eat them and ate. After paying the bill, the writer had only three francs which he gave as tip. They came out of the restaurant and then the ladz advised the writer not to eat more than one thing for luncheon following her example. At the time of departure, she addressed him as a man full of hum our. Finally, the ladz was punished by the almighty for her voraciousness making her a woman of twenty-one stone.
