26、 Simon Groot of the Netherlands introducing high-quality vegetable seeds (种子) to more than 60 countries, was awarded the 2019 World Food Prize.
He is the sixth generation of the Groot family to develop seeds and began his search to create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Southeast Asia in 1981. He was 47 and his family's company had just been taken over by a larger professional company.
Sixteen years earlier, he made his first trip to Indonesia. There, Groot learned that vegetable seeds did woefully when planted in the hot tropics (热带). He thought there was a great possibility to introduce hybrid vegetables to the area. The area wasn't suitable for these vegetable seeds which were developed for the moderate (温和的) climate of Europe and lacked vegetable seed developers who were trying to create hybrids for the local climate.
Groot partnered with seed trader Benito Domingo of the Philippines. They put together a team of seed researchers and growers from Wageningen University in the Netherlands and the University of the Philippines. Within a few years, they developed a hybrid bitter gourd (苦瓜) that sold well. Then they changed a tomato plant, followed by eggplants, pumpkins and leafy vegetables. The early successes led to the start of the East-West Seed Company, which now has more than 970 improved seeds of 60 vegetable crops. It is reported that the company's seeds are used by 20 million farmers each year in more than 60 countries, said Kenneth Quinn, the former U.S. ambassador to Vietnam.
Of Groot, Quinn said, “He's a truly excellent person with worthy accomplishments that should be recognized.”
The award was stated during a ceremony hosted by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. "The improvements made in these tropical vegetable seeds helped small farmers in developing nations produce more food and importantly get more income for themselves and their families," Pompeo said.
【1】Why was Groot awarded the 2019 World Food Prize?
A.Because he is the sixth generation of the Groot family.
B.Because his family's company is a large professional company.
C.Because he helped create better vegetable seeds to help farmers in Africa.
D.Because he introduced better vegetable seeds to more than 60 countries.
【2】What does the underlined word "woefully" in Para. 3 mean?
A.Poorly. B.Well. C.Normally. D.Scientifically.
【3】What do you know about the East-West Seed Company?
A.Its business is centered in central Asia. B.Its seeds have benefited many farmers a lot.
C.It was started by Groot and local farmers. D.It is changing the seed industry around the world.
【4】Quinn thinks that ________.
A.Groot doesn't care about the award B.Groot deserves the award
C.Groot's contribution is of no value D.Groot will donate his prize to poor farmers
【5】How did Pompeo think of the improvements made in tropical vegetable seeds?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Interested. D.Confused.
27、Hot Air Balloon Sydney For 2, Weekend Flight
INCLUDES FULL GOURMET BREAKFAST
Item: HO12955TA Location: Windsor Sydney Our Price: $299 (per person for groups of 2) |
·Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 (there will be others in the balloon basket with you)
·NOTHING MORE TO PAY ON THE DAY! YOUR FULL GOURMET BREAKFAST IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
·Travel with the Tourism Award winners with over 20 years of experience
·Float over beautiful Hawkesbury Valley
·Colour flight certificate
Experience the wonder of a Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 people. Rising before dawn, you can join the crew in unpacking and preparing the balloon for flight — which is a spectacle in itself! After an exciting launch, you’ll drift with the wind silently over the parklands, homes and hills of the Hawkesbury region of Sydney.
Hot Air Ballooning begins in the cool, still hours of the early morning, when the air is more stable. The launch site, determined by the weather of the morning, will be in or around the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley. The adventure begins by inflating the balloon using a giant portable fan. Once the balloon starts to take shape, the burner is lit, heating the air inside. The hot air inside is lighter than the cool air outside and this is what creates the lift and why it is called a Hot Air Balloon. Passengers are welcome to assist the pilot and crew with inflating the hot air balloon at the launch site, which only takes about 20 minutes.
The Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 is both picturesque and peaceful. You hear very little sound from the awakening world below. The silence is only broken with blasts from the propane burner heating the air in your balloon to keep you cruising across the skies. Watch as the sun bursts from the horizon and paints the sky pink in a spectacular morning sunrise.
To top off the morning you’ll celebrate with a full gourmet breakfast. This adventure is for 2 people. There will be other people in the balloon basket with you.

28、Instead of a human deliveryman, Beijing resident Xiao Wei received his online order for daily necessities in less than 30 minutes from an unmanned delivery vehicle.
The four-wheeled vehicle named “magic bag” is 1.56 meters high, 2.77 meters long, and 1.19 meters wide. Weighing 500 kg, it can carry about 100 kg of goods at a time and run a distance of 100 km on a single charge with a maximum traveling speed of 20 kph.
After customers place orders on the Meituan app, an intelligent distribution system will assign orders to those autonomous vehicles, which will pick up and deliver goods to pick-up stations at the final destinations. Customers can collect the delivery from the stations without any human contact during the whole process, said Meituan Dianping, China’s major online food delivery platform.
“I can check the real-time route of the driverless vehicle. It is fast, convenient and safe as well,” said Xiao. “This is also the first time that Meituan has used unmanned vehicles to complete delivery orders on open roads.” Meanwhile, according to Meituan, daily sales on its retail grocery service app have increased by 200 to 300 percent in Beijing compared to figures from before the epidemic.
The catering（餐饮）chain brand Xiaoheng Dumplings has cooperated with an unmanned vehicle enterprise to pilot unmanned vehicle delivery services in Beijing. Li Heng, the founder of Xiaoheng Dumplings, believes unmanned delivery is the future of the industry as it is cleaner, safer and more efficient. “An unmanned vehicle can deliver 300 to 400 meals a day, while a deliveryman can only deliver dozens of meals,” Li said. Xiaoheng’s unmanned vehicles have a heat preservation function. A new type of vehicle with a freezing function will be introduced in the future to deliver frozen food.
Meituan and Xiaoheng will continue the unmanned delivery service in the future. More varieties of goods, including food, medicine, and daily necessities, will be added to such delivery services.

29、My grandfather Andy Anderson is 99. His life story is one for the big screen -- he met my grandmother on a Saturday, and they married on the following Saturday. They stayed together until my grandma died 67 years later.Without going to college, Andy worked his way to the top. He became the manager of the dairy department of Safeway. He earned the nickname Mr. Cheese, which finally turned into Grandpa Cheese among the family. He has taught me a lot and here' s what he has learned in his 99 years.
Always keep a good sense of humor. Find something humorous in every single situation. Never be too good to start at the bottom. Exercise every day, even when you don' t feel like it. Don't spend more money than you make. Save your money now and spend it later.
You must be able to forgive, even if it' s difficult to do. Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it. Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.
If you are faced with a problem, don' t delay（延误）trying to solve it. But if there's no way to solve it, you have to forget about it. Make sure you' re doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.
School education is important, but not necessary. Life can be an education in itself. Explore your world and stay curious; Having a bad job is better than having no job at all; Try not to take yourself so seriously. Don't ever be afraid to be your true self. Your life is delicate(易受损的), and if you fail to take care of yourself properly, you'11 spoil.Life is a gift that you must unwrap. It' s up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or frustration(挫折). You have the power to make that decision for yourself.
