21、There’s nothing wrong with a tomato that isn’t perfectly rounded or a peach with an extra dimple or two; they still carry the same benefits and flavors as the versions we’re used to seeing in grocery stores. Farmers throw away these imperfect items, as many grocery chains won’t buy them for fear that they are unsellable. However, a growing group of grocery chains are fighting to make these discarded fruits and vegetables part of consumers’ buying habits.

One such business is Imperfect Produce, a start-up — that delivers fresh ugly produce to consumers. Through this service, you can get up to 20 pounds of fruit and veggies for around $20 a week. This is about a 30 percent discount compared to what’s currently sold in stores. Recently, the company had a major breakthrough when Whole Foods accepted their partnership and agreed to sell the misshapen produce.

While this movement might be a new trend here in the U.S. , it’s already gained serious momentum in Europe. In 2014, the E.U. announced the Year Against Food Waste, with French grocery chain Intermarché launching a very successful campaign called Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables and England’s Waitrose selling “weather blemished” apples. In Portugal, a similar company to Imperfect Produce called Fruta Feia has also taken off.

Buying these unfortunate-looking foods should be appealing to consumers not only because of the affordability, but also because of the support it gives to farmers and the direct impact it has on decreasing food waste and the environmental pollution. Tas believed that when the discarded fruits and vegetables decompose they release methane, a greenhouse gas that, when released into the atmosphere, is about 86 times as powerful as carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Waste is, in fact, the ugliest thing of all.

【1】What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph one mean?

A．deserted.

B．harvested.

C．consumed.

D．purchased.

【2】What is the purpose of Imperfect Produce?

A．Make better profits.

B．Sell imperfect produce.

C．Get discounts from farmers.

D．Compete with Whole Foods.

【3】Compared with the U.S., Europe________.

A．has more successfully-run food chains

B．produces less misshaped fruits and vegetables

C．addresses the problem of misshaped produce earlier

D．feces a more serious problem of unfavorable weather

【4】In what way is wasted food harmful to the environment according to paragraph 4?

A．It pollutes the farms.

B．gives out a bad smell.

C．It contributes to global warming.

D．It produces lots of carbon dioxide.

22、From the way my daughter Anna get along with her friends, I’ve seen some skills of keeping true friendship.

23、   I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical achievements. A newspaper reporter interviewed him why he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?

He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor-a real sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge pool of milk. Well,the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!

This famous scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes.
