21、People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.
A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. “And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.l apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”
【1】Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that .
A.more fruits are offered at lower prices
B.normal-looking produce is banned there
C.imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D.only apples and potatoes are sold every day
【2】According to Paragraph 3, Branson's program .
A.prevents people from wasting their food
B.happens to be a win-win arrangement
C.teaches food producers how to grow
D.enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
【3】What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.The ugly food line
B.The food to be wasted
C.The abnormal harvest
D.All the produce
【4】What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?
A.Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B.Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C.Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life.
D.Customers’ support promotes the development of Loblaws.
【5】What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A.We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B.The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C.Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D.The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.
22、 In Australia, the bilby (兔耳袋狸) project is seen as an important part in protecting the nation’s wildlife. Bilbies are known for their long ears and large back legs. They usually sleep during the day, and are awake at night. They look a lot like rabbits and grow to about 2.5 kilograms.
For the first time in 2018, bilbies are running wild in Southeastern Australia. The small animals were once widespread across much of Australia, but were last observed in the wild in New South Wales state in 1912. Every year bilby populations continue to decrease. Wildlife experts are afraid that the bilby, a small marsupial, could eventually disappear forever, either because of land clearing or fires. Another reason is a threat from cats and foxes, which hunt down and kill bilbies.
In northern New South Wales state, environmentalists are celebrating what they are calling a historic moment. Thirty bilbies from a captive breeding program have been released into a large predator-free enclosed area north of Sydney. Without the protection of a 32-kilometer fence, experts say the animals probably would not survive.
Tim Allard heads the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, which is involved in the project. He says the release of these beloved animals is a big deal. “There are some remaining wild bilby populations, but they get predated upon heavily by feral cats and foxes. Bilbies only really survive behind fenced areas.” Allard said the point of doing this project is to return the countryside to what it used to be before Europeans arrived. “So in the not-too-distant future, you will be able to go inside the fenced areas and it will be like stepping back before Europeans turned up,” he said.
【1】What is the main idea of paragraph 1?
A. The shape of the bilby. B. The habit of the bilby.
C. The weight of the bilby. D. The characteristics of the bilby.
【2】The followings are the reasons for Bilbies’ disappearance EXCEPT ________?
A. Trees’ clearing. B. Fires’ bursting. C. Cats’ hunting. D. Foxes’ killing.
【3】What docs the underlined word “enclosed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Involved. B. Protected. C. Hunted. D. Enlarged.
【4】From Allard’s words, what do we know?
A. The release of bilbies can make much money.
B. Cats and foxes cause the decrease of bilbies.
C. Nature reserves are needed to protect bilbies.
D. Europeans shouldn’t turn up in the countryside.
23、An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow landed on their window. The father asked his son,“What is that?”The son replied,“That’s a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, The son said,“Father, I told you just now. It is a crow.”After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time,“What is that?”This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone,“It’s a crow, a crow.”
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time,“What is that?”This time his son shouted at the father,“Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?”
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
“Today my little son aged 3 was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.”
If your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. From today say this aloud,“I want to see my parents happy forever.

24、How to Study Without Burning Out
You’ve signed up for classes, you’ve learned your way around the virtual course system—and now, you have to make sure you survive all the way to graduation. Laptop or paper notes? And does music help while you are studying? 【1】
Get a planner and actually use it.
You’ll have a lot going on in college, and managing your time is an important skill to master. 【2】 Write everything down: your classes, your work shifts, assignments and meetings. Let your schedule help you find time to complete smaller tasks and keep track of bigger deadlines.
Don’t just put information into your brain.
【3】 When you reread and highlight, you’re only focused on getting information in, not doing any retrieving (回忆). Research shows that when we engage in the process of clearly retrieving, we actually organize concepts and create a better structure for what we’re understanding. So through the process of retrieving, we help make sense of what we’re trying to learn.
【4】
Students who lack sleep show many of the same symptoms as students diagnosed (诊断) with attention disorders. Emotional problems can also throw off a student’s focus and prevent learning. If you’re really sleepy or if you’re really struggling emotionally, there’s not a lot of motivation to get up and go to class or do your work or put the effort in what needs to be done.
Let go of the shame around mental health problems.
Mental health issues are continual among college students. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. One out of two Americans over their lifetime will have a diagnosable mental health disorder. They’re highly treatable. 【5】
A.Take care of yourself.
B.It’s not something to be scared about.
C.Think of learning as a two-way street.
D.Here’s what to do if you do feel crushed.
E.Use your planner to control your schedule.
