26、 It was a beautiful Southern California morning with a blue sky, a cool breeze and warm sunlight. I walked through the parking lot of the shopping centre, thinking of my appointment with the cake at the local bakery. As I wandered in front of the grocery store next to the bakeshop, I noticed a young woman standing at the store entrance with bags of groceries neatly piled. As is my practice with strangers, I made eye contact with her and said with a smile, “Hello, there! And how are you today?”
She smiled back and responded with a Southern accent. I had only taken a few steps past her when I heard her say, “Thank you for seeing me!”
Still smiling, I turned around and walked over to her. For the next twenty minutes, I listened attentively to Dominique sharing her story. She had grown up in Louisiana. Three years ago, she moved to California alone, where without contacts or the promise of employment, she struggled to create a life of purpose and fulfillment. She spoke with an easy Southern charm and a smile with joy.
A friend of hers came to pick her up. I helped her load the groceries into the back seat of the car. She thanked me and opened the front passenger-side door. "My daddy used to say that a person will remember how you made them feel long after they've forgotten what you said. I know I'll remember this for a long time.” I smiled, knowing I would as well.
One of my favorite quotes is from Mother Teresa: “Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love.” I have found that the benefit of doing these small things not only helps me maintain a positive outlook on life but may even sow a few seeds of hope for someone else.

28、A person, like a commodity（商品）, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the person's unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.
A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.
【1】The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.
A. decoration B. clarification
C. movement D. identification
【2】It can be concluded from the text that ______.
A. people should be packaged at all ages
B. people should be packaged in a special way
C. elderly people also care about packaging
D. proper packaging makes people attractive
【3】For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .
A. hardly exists B. is the strongest
C. comes from the inside D. comes from the appearance
【4】According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.
A. dye your hair B. make up at a young age
C. follow the ageing process D. give up fame and wealth
【5】The underlined sentence means that elderly people ______.
A. are usually packaged like a finely-made book
B. experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life
C. do a lot of traveling and can give you much information
D. enjoy reading thick books about beautiful nature and fairyland
29、 For a long time, beef has been a target of environmentalists because of cattle farming’s contribution to global warming. But what about ordinary shrimp(小虾) and prawns(大虾)? When compared with cows, it turns out the tasty shrimp are just as big an environmental problem. The issue is not so much their life cycle: shrimp do not emit methane(甲烷) the way cows do. But shrimp farms tend to occupy coastal land that used to be covered in mangroves(红树林).
Draining mangrove swamps to make way for aquaculture(水产养殖) is even more harmful to the atmosphere than cutting down rainforest to provide grassland for cattle. A study conducted in 2017 by CIFOR, a research institute, found that in both these instances, by far the biggest contribution to the carbon footprint of the resulting beef or shrimp came from the clearing of the land. As a result, CIFOR concluded, a kilo of farmed shrimp was responsible for almost four times the greenhouse-gas emissions of a kilo of beef. Eating a surf-and-turf dinner of prawn cocktail and steak, the study warned, can be more polluting than driving across America in a petrol-fuelled car.
Eating wild shrimp is not much better: catches are declining around the world as a result of overfishing. Fishing boats can pull as much as 20kg of the unwanted fish and other creatures from the sea for every kilo of shrimp.
Most of the world’s shrimp and prawns come from Asia. The continent accounts for 85% of the farmed sort and 74% of the wild catch. Global sales were around $45 billion in 2018 and are thought to be growing by about 5% a year.
But the industry is controversial(有争议的), not just because of its part in global warming. Destroyed mangroves also leave coastal regions defenceless against flooding. Many shrimp farms are unsanitary(不卫生的); ponds often have to be abandoned after a few years because of problems with disease and pollution.
All this has given one Singaporean company a brain wave. “Farmed shrimps are often bred in overcrowded conditions and literally swimming in waste water. We want to change that by providing farmers with technology that is cleaner and more efficient,” says Sandhya Sriram, one of the founders of Shiok Meats.
The firm aims to grow artificial shrimp, much as some Western firms are seeking to create beef without cows. The process involves producing shrimp cells in a nutrient-rich solution. Since prawn-meat has a simpler structure than beef, it should be easier to reproduce in this way.
Moreover, shrimp is eaten in lots of forms and textures: whole, minced(切碎的), as a paste and so on. The firm is already making shrimp mince which has tested in Chinese dumplings. It hopes the by-product of the meat-growing can be used as a flavoring(调味的) for prawn crackers and instant noodles. Eventually it plans to grow curved “whole” shrimp—without the head and shell, that is.
The problem is that producing shrimp in this way currently costs $5,000 a kilo. Shiok Meats thinks it can bring the price down dramatically by using less rare ingredients in its growing solution.
People want to know more about where their food comes from and how it is harvested, argues Ms Sriram. “Cell-based technology is one of the ways to answer those questions.” And even ordinary shrimp, whether farmed or fished, come at a heady price.
