24、My mother only had one eye. I hated her， as she was such an embarrassment (难堪）for me. She ran a small shop at a market， selling anything for the money we needed.

One day， my mom came to my school. I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day， my classmates shouted， “Your mom only has one eye! ’’ and they taunted me. My face turned red.

I wished that my mom would just disappear from this world， so I said to her， “Mom， why don’t you have the other eye? You make me a laughingstock.” She didn’t say anything. Maybe it was because my mom hadn’ t punished me， so I didn’ t think that I had hurt her feelings very badly. I decided to study hard so that I could leave her for the rest of my life. I made it at last. Now I’m living happily as a successful man in another country.

Many years later， I received a letter， which said， “I think my life has been long enough now， but would it be too much to ask if I wanted you to visit me once in a while? I’ m sorry that I am an embarrassment for you. You see， when you were very young， you got into an accident， and lost your eye. As a mother， I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with only one eye， so I gave you mine. I was so proud of my son that was seeing a whole new world for me， in my place， with that eye. I was never angry with you for any­thing you did. I miss the time when you were still young around me. You mean the world to me. I love you.” I can’t help crying with the letter in my hand.

25、Are you taking good care of your hair and using the right products? Could your shampoo be damaging your hair? Should you brush your hair more or less? The following are a few tips to help you keep your hair healthy and shining.

★A balanced diet will help you have nice-looking hair. Try to eat more green vegetables, eggs and beans every day.

★Wash your hair every day, or every two days. Always use cool, clean water to wash the shampoo out of your hair.

★Use shampoo that is specially designed for your hair type (dry, oily, etc.).When using shampoo, be sure to massage your hair, including the roots, softly.

★Allow your hair to dry naturally whenever possible. Hair is at its weakest when it is wet, so never brush or comb your wet hair hard, and use a wide-toothed comb.

★Give your hair a good brushing before going to bed. Do this by bending over so that your head is hanging down, and brush from back to front. This will help remove the dirt from your hair.

★Strong sunlight is bad for your hair. So remember to wear a hat to protect it on hot summer days.

26、But ugly fruits should be loved, too. In recent years, a new crop of “ugly produce” companies have been around the U.S. These start-ups sell those ugly fruits that supermarkets refuse. And they send them right to your door.

The companies say they’re on a mission（使命）. They want to stop billions of pounds of imperfect produce（农产品）from going to waste. Think of it this way: Is a banged-up (be knocked and some places broken) banana any less tasty in a peanut butter sandwich? Why should it be thrown away?

Sounds like these companies have the right idea. They even offer deep low prices. That’s great news for customers. But not everyone is happy. Some people say these companies may be thinking only about themselves.

△

Imperfect produce isn’t always wasted.

Many small farmers had already been selling imperfect produce to customers and farmers markets. Then the ugly produce companies started growing up. These companies, such as Imperfect Produce, can offer more fruits and veggies from large farms around the country. They make it harder for smaller farms to compete. So the farmers are losing money.

Also, ugly fruits and veggies already have uses. Take the food service industry for example. There, produce is sliced, diced, blended, and more. No one cares if the fruit is pretty or ugly. On farms, fruits can be fed to animals. Rotted（腐烂的）fruit is added back into soil for nutrients. And, what’s more, ugly produce companies have been charged with taking food away from the needy.

Are these start-ups causing more bad than good?

Not So Bad, After All?

What do ugly produce companies say? They are guarding themselves.

In March 2019, Imperfect Produce told people that the company doesn’t take away from the needy. It gets resources from farms only after food banks take what they want, it said. Also, the company often gives food to food banks. Put that in your food basket!

It is true that produce goes to waste in America. The Department of Agriculture has said that food waste is a big problem. In fact, about 30 to 40 percent of the country’s food is wasted.

But Imperfect Produce says both farmers and ugly produce companies can help reduce food waste. It doesn’t have to be either-or.

No matter whose side you’re on, remember this: It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

【1】What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．Ugly produce companies are doing more good than bad.

B．Not everyone supports ugly produce companies’ missions.

C．Ugly produce companies are loved because of lower prices.

D．Ugly produce companies make the most use of imperfect produce.

【2】What is the most suitable for the △ ?

A．The Ugly Truth?

B．Not So Good, Above All.

C．But So Bad, Really?

D．The Ugly Wasted.

【3】What fact does the passage provide?

A．It’s important for smaller farms to get more customers to make money.

B．Food waste is caused because supermarkets refuse ugly produce.

C．Ugly produce companies sell imperfect produce to prevent waste.

D．Customers are interested in stopping food waste and saving money.

【4】The writer probably wrote the article in order to ______.

A．tell ugly produce companies to give unwanted fruits and vegetables to the needy

B．show the reasons why there are more and more ugly produce companies

C．offer readers an introduction to ugly produce companies and their missions

D．make readers only buy food from companies that work with smaller farms
