Reading
The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers’ crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.

One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.

Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy, since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.

Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.

the article states that the large reproducing of cane toads, amphibian species that protect crops by eating harmful insects, could become a serious danger for other native animals in australia rather than pests, and provides three proposals for stop their spread in australia. However, the professor says that those proposals are both unseccessfully efforts and lead to environmental damages, and refutes each of the author's proposals.

first, the reading cliams that primitive way to prohibite the spread of the cane toads is erect a national fence. the professor opposes this point by saying that toad's eggs and also young toads can replaced to one side another far from the national fence by streams and runoff waters. according to the professor this method seems unlikely be effective.

second, the article posits that volunteers can capture and destroy the toads easily through using the simple traps and even by hands. In contrast, the professor says that untrained volunteers neither can be effective nor can remain intact others animals frogs.

third, the reading says that using virus to control maturing and reproducing of toads populations. the professor casts doubt on this proposal by explaining that this process have been uesd in order to control other animal like reptiles and cause serious damages to those species. she also states that using the virus for this propuse are illegal and not only have nagetively effects on ecosystems but also suffering some sort of injury to other part of environment.
