Most of us think that we wear clothes only because we want to protect our body from cold, or in order to look smarter or more beautiful in them. Some people also buy clothes thinking that they are fashionable. However, without realising it, the clothes we choose to wear tell other people a lot about ourselves. For example, people dressed in expensive clothes are thought to be wealthy. Our shoes, accessories and jewellery all tend to create an impression of our social class and personality. On the other hand, if we work as a nurse, police officer or fire-fighter, we have to wear a standard uniform. In conclusion, more than being just a way to keep warm, clothes reveal a lot about a person’s life, character and status.

Mine-clearing efforts made more progress last year than ever before. But there is concern about future progress because international support decreased for the first time. The European Commission, the United States and eight other major donors decreased their financing of 'mine action,' which is defined as clearing mines and destroying supplies of them. It also includes mine risk education and survivor assistance. Seven hundred forty square kilometers, an area about the size of New York City, was cleared of mines last year. It is the most land cleared in one year since modern de-mining efforts started in nineteen eighty. Yet the number of reported casualties from landmine explosions was eleven percent higher than in the previous year. Landmines killed at least two thousand people and wounded more than five thousand others last year. About eighty percent of the victims were civilians. What is more, numbers of reported casualties are often less than half of the real number. More than one hundred fifty governments have joined the Mine Ban Treaty, banning the use, production and trade of landmines. Twenty-nine still have to finish mine-clearing within the next few years. But thirteen might not meet that goal.

about mine-clearing ----.

In the 1940s DDT was found to be an excellent way to control insects. It cost little to produce and was not found to harm humans. So it was widely used for people and crops. But then it was found that DDT stayed in the environment for many years. It thinned the shells of unborn birds and led to health problems for other animals. So the support for the common use of it was ended. But now again the use of DDT in homes is supported to control malaria, as indoor spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. DDT presents no health risk when used correctly. But it should be used only inside houses and huts, not outside and not for agriculture use. Malaria sickens five hundred million people and results in more than one million deaths every year. Each day, an estimated three thousand babies and young children die from it. The large majority of deaths are in Africa, south of the Sahara. But critics of DDT argue that DDT is not as effective as people might think. For instance, some African mosquitoes have already developed resistance to it. It seems that DDT should be only one tool among many for insect control.
According to the passage, one advantage of DDT was thought to be its ----.

A) because it could not control insects
B) since it became too expensive
