People generally like to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce(农产品), 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 potatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more imperfect vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.
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 produce 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 choices.”
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(响应) to the first offering of apples and potatoes showed the chance to enlarge the line and offer more choices 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 an apple from Naturally Imperfect, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”
34．Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that ________.
A．more fruits are offered at lower prices B．normal-looking produce can’t be found there
C．imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there D．only apples and potatoes are sold every day
35．According to Paragraph 3, Loblaws’s program ________.
A．stops people from wasting their food B．happens to be a win-win situation
C．teaches food producers how to grow D．enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
36．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 the ugly food line.
37．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.
C
Have you ever forgotten where your socks are when you wake up in the morning Can you remember what you ate for lunch a week ago You may think that being forgetful is not a good thing. But now you should be thankful.
Scientists from the University of Toronto found that forgetting is actually a key part of learning. Getting rid of unnecessary information can help our brains work better.
What kind of information is unnecessary Scientists say that this may have something to do with the environment you live in.
In an environment that is always changing, our brains may require us to remember less. For example, a supermarket cashier meets many people every day and will probably only remember them for a short time. But a designer who often meets his or her clients (客户) will remember longer.
That’s because our brains keep making new neurons (神经元) from stem cells (干细胞), said Paul Frankland, a professor at the University of Toronto.
There is a special area in our brains called the hippocampus (海马体). It is important for us to learn and remember. When new neurons go into the hippocampus, they renew our old memories. This could explain why you forget so much information about the time when you were very young.
However, being forgetful is not always good. When you don’t have enough sleep, you may have a hard time remembering new information. Sleep helps the brain store and keep new facts and information, Matthew Walker from the University of California told the Huffington Post.
38．Forgetting is a key part of learning because ________.
A．it is unimportant for us to learn and remember
B．getting rid of unnecessary information can help our brains work better
C．our brains may require us to remember less in a changing environment
D．lack of seep makes our brains have difficulty getting new information
39．What is important for us to learn and remember
A．The hippocampus. B．The new neurons.
C．The stem cells. D．The new environment.
40．Why do we forget so much information about the time when we were very young
A．New neurons go into the hippocampus and require our old memories.
B．New neurons go into the hippocampus and renew our old memories.
C．New neurons go into the hippocampus and return our old memories.
D．New neurons go into the hippocampus and recall our old memories.
41．How does sleep help us avoid being forgetful
A．Enough sleep helps us keep fit and calm.
B．Enough sleep helps us remember older things longer.
C．Sleep helps the brain store and keep new information.
D．Our brains keep making new neurons in enough sleep.

When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled (挣扎) to start breathing. Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Oliver’s survival.
However, Oliver managed to take his first breath, and then announced his arrival by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “let me see it.”
The doctor turned away from the fire, where he had been warming his hands. He gave her the child. Lovingly, she kissed the baby with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back and died.
The doctor began to put on his coat. “The mother was a good looking girl. Where did she come from ”
“She was brought here last night,” replied the old woman. “She was found lying in the street. Where she came from, or what her name was, nobody knows.”
The doctor lifted the girl’s left hand. “The old story.” He shook his head. “No wedding ring. I see. Ah! Good night.”
And so Oliver was left with only the drunken nurse. He was then sent to a special “baby farm” nearby. There, he and thirty other children rolled (翻) around the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing. Mrs. Mann, who “looked after” them, was very experienced. She knew what was good for children. She also knew what was good for herself .The board (董事会) responsible for the orphans (孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr. Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, the children were always neat and clean.
On Oliver’s ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann. Through the front window, Mrs. Mann saw him at the gate, and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.
“Quick! Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washed!” she said. Then she ran out to unlock the gate which was always kept locked.
——From Oliver Twist

Enjoy Labor, Enjoy Life
Labor is the traditional Chinese virtue of love. However, some students are rarely given the opportunity to enjoy labor, while others are too busy with their studies to labor. There are also some students who are unwilling to labor because they are lazy.
Therefore, I advise you to participate in labor activities both at school and at home. At school, you can clean the classroom with your classmates every week. At home, you can help your parents do housework. Besides, you can also visit the nursing homes and help take care of the elderly.
In conclusion, I believe that labor education is important for our development and I encourage all my fellow classmates to actively engage in labor activities.
