Questions 2631 are based on the following passage.
1 Hotels in Kuala Lumpur are selling them at about RM 100 a piece and local
Chinese restaurants are chasing in on them as well. It is that time of the year againwhen connoisseurs and common folks in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and
Malaysia go crazy over a Shanghainese delicacy in the form of a small, hairy-legged,
green crustacean. We are talking about the seasonal Hairy Crabs which are widely 5
available in Shanghai from October to November. You can even get them in 7-Elevenstores there!
2 So whats so great about these crabs? In ancient China, it was regarded an elite
activity to enjoy the crab delicacies, watch the blooming chrysanthemums and
compose lyrical poems. The secret lies with the roe - a sinfully rich and creamy 10
orange substance that has melted the resistance of even the most cholesterol conscious.
3 Dragon-O Restaurant which serves Shanghainese cuisine has also jumped on the
bandwagon to bring these tiny delicacies to Malaysia. To make it more affordable,
they import the crabs direct from the source - Tai Lake in Jiangsu Province, China.
The ecology around Tai Lake is the reason why Hairy Crabs are reared there. Tai 15
Lakes ideal depth of two metres allows sunlight to reach the bottom of the lake,causing seaweed, the crabs food, to flourish.
4 According to Raymond Cheung, a Hairy Crab farm owner, wild crab fries are
purchased every March from local fishermen who catch them by the kilos from the
mouth of the Yangtze River. There would usually be about 160,000 fries in a kilo. 20
These two-week-old fries are then put into a small pond to mature. Come December
when the crabs are nine months old, they are relocated to an enclosed pen by the lakein preparation for the cold winter months. During this time, the crabs will bury them-
selves in the mud at the bottom of the lake to hibernate.
5 When they are more than a year old, the crabs are relocated again in May to 25bigger pens in the middle of the lake. These are crucial months as the food and
temperature during this period determine the quality of the harvest in the fourthquarter of the year. The crabs are considered mature after they have moulted twenty-
one times. They usually moult when the temperature drops to 20 C. During this time,
they fed on small fishes, corn, spirulina and garlic. Their shells are yellow during their 30
growing months and will turn green once they mature.

6 Hairy crabs are best harvested in the months of October and November. They are
caught with nets placed at the bottom of the lake. The crabs are then taken to the
factory for packaging and exporting. At the factory,workers bind them so that they will
not move and pack them in styrofoam boxes before placing them in a huge chiller for a 35day to hibernate. CCTVs are installed all around the factory. The government is
is concerned about the quality of Chinas exports and they conduct stringent
monitoring through live feed CCTVs.The cameras also allow them to keep track on thenumber of crabs being exported.
7 The boxes are then filled with ice before being exported to other countries. Each 40box is individually tagged so customers can trace the source if any problems arise.
It takes two days for the live crabs to arrive in Malaysia and another day to the
respective restaurants. The crabs can survive for about a week.
8 The dragon-O Restaurant is offering Malaysians a taste of this Shanghainesedelicacy at a reasonable price. The owner has this to say, We have always kept in mind 45
that value for money is the way to go if we want our customers walking out of the
restaurant to come back some day soon.

At dawn they returned home
their soaky clothes torn
and approached the stovetheir limbs marked by scratches
their legs full of wounds
but on their brows
there was not a sign of despair
The whole day and night just passed
they had to brave the horrendous floodin the water all the time
between bloated carcasses
and tiny chips of tree barks
desperately looking for their sonsalbino buffalo that was never found
They were born amidst hardshipand grew up without a sigh or a complaint

The old bag didnt have any family whod own her. This place was her home, this
job was all she lived for.Lucy was silent. Her mother had turned Uncle Bert out once after a row,
