21、 This holiday season, holiday shoppers can for the first time send festive greetings that help protect rather than destroy our evergreen world. The beautiful e-card can be sent via TreeGreetings, available at http://www. TreeGreetings. com.
Each $8.95 TreeGreetings e-card comes with a virtual tour of the actual location where the gift tree will be planted along with a full-color, personalized planting certificate. The greetings feature musical slide shows with nature photography and inspirational messages.
“Our cards exemplify (是…的典型) the spirit of holiday giving,” said Alan Shamir, founder and CEO of Your True Nature Inc., which markets TreeGreetings electronic products. “Our customers can give back to the Earth by contributing to reforestation while sharing holiday goodwill with friends and family.” TreeGreetings offers a full range of e-cards to celebrate any occasion including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, new homes, congratulations, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day.

Gift trees are planted and cared for by well-established, reliable non-profit organizations including the internationally recognized Trees, Water & People, which has planted 1.2 million trees in Central America, and Plant-It 2020, a foundation created by singer John Denver in1992.
After having received a Magnolia tree for his 11th birthday, Shamir gained a lifelong appreciation for the value and joy of receiving a living growing gift.

22、 As our global population continues to rise, some assessments suggest it could reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050. To feed that many people, we will need to produce quantities of food.
With only 30 seasons of planting and harvest left before the population could hit that 10 billion figure, it’s clear that agriculture has to change, if we are to have any hope of feeding the planet.
Over the past six months I’ve travelled all over Europe speaking to pioneering scientists and engineers, global-thought leaders, and of course, knowledgeable farmers, for the BBC World News and BBC Future series, Follow the Food in order to examine issues around food supply and even find some potential solutions for our future.
One of the most shocking facts I learned is the amount of good and eatable food that gets wasted. According to the United Nations, “A third of all food produced ends up rotting (腐烂) in the dustbins of consumers and markets, or damaging due to poor transportation and harvesting practices.”
Spending time with farmers, producers, and consumers, I quickly saw how our current ways of growing, processing and selling food just aren’t sustainable (可持续的).
The only way we can feed 10 billion people by 2050 is if the farming and food industries become much more sustainable. And that requires changes to the whole model of growing, processing, transporting, storing and selling. It means a lot of businesses and governments need to take action. But so too do we all. Whether that’s going to the market and choosing the most “ugly” vegetables for dinner, encouraging supermarkets to change their labelling to show us the carbon footprint of our food, or using new tech to avoid waste, there’s so much we can do to value our food and its producers.
【1】How does the writer feel about the production of enough food by 2050?
A.Optimistic. B.Impossible.
C.Challenging. D.Confident.
【2】What is the purpose of the writer’s journey in Europe?
A.To experience various careers in Europe.
B.To have a knowledge of farmers.
C.To become the best host in BBC programs.
D.To make further studies of present situation.
【3】What can be inferred from the statement of the United Nations?
A.Plenty of food waste is avoidable.
B.Food production is far from enough.
C.Advanced agriculture is urgently needed.
D.Foods are too fragile to be well stored.
【4】What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.The procedure for food production is complex.
B.Joint efforts are needed to feed 10 billion people.
C.There are great opportunities for food business.
D.Governments should take full responsibility.
23、Imagine your smartphone’s screen gets broken, or your favourite boots get a hole in them. What do you do? You could buy a replacement. Or you could join the worldwide trend of taking your broken stuff to a “repair café”.
The Bower Reuse and Repair Centre has just launched Australia’s first repair café, in Sydney’s inner west. The crowd-funded project will hold weekly repair sessions focusing on bikes, furniture and electrical items.
The first repair café was set up in Amsterdam in 2009, and the Repair Cafe Foundation says there are now more than 400 around the world. A repair café is a free face-to-face meeting of skilled volunteers and local residents who want things fixed. Visitors bring broken items from home and watch, learn or help as the repairs get done. Some things are fixed during the event, while for more challenging items people might be referred to local speciality repair shops.
Last year, according to the ABS, Australians sent more than half a million tons of leather to landfill—more than ten times the amount that was reused or recycled. Mending represents an attempt to resist the throwaway culture. Repair cafés get people talking and give them the chance to network and learn about the local resources available. And, perhaps most surprisingly for anyone who considers mending to be some kind of drudgery, repair cafés can be fun and creative.
“In a circular economy, repair cafés fit right in”, says the organiser Martine Postma. In rejecting buy-use-throw, the circular economy aims to keep resources moving around in the economy, rather than moving them through it to a dead end, where they cannot be put into valuable use.
It might be quicker and easier to throw stuff in the bin, but it’s more expensive and less fun too.
【1】What can we know about the repair café in Sydney?
A．It’s financed by the government.
B．Its visitors are involved in the fixing.
C．It’s the first repair café in the world.
D．All items are fixed during the event.
【2】Why does the author discuss landfill in paragraph 4?
A．To stress the difficulty of landfill.
B．To indicate the urgency of reusing.
C．To support the throwaway culture.
D．To show the influence of repair cafés.
【3】What does the underlined word “drudgery” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Special network.
B．Weekly meetings.
C．Unpleasant work.
D．Interesting games.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Places to Meet Up and Drink
B．Repair and Share Every Month
C．Repair Cafes Continue the Art of Mending
D．Repair Cafes Fix Things- Including the Economy
