If you thought the toilet paper shortage was bad, just wait. Meat may be next in America.
1., John H. Tyson, chairman of the board of Tyson Foods, warned that the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing the company to shut all the stores across the country.
“This means one thing,” he wrote. “2. As pork, beef, and chicken plants are being forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain.”
The ripple effect will make its way to consumers, Tyson noted, as “There will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we are able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed.”
The Tyson plant in Waterloo, Iowa, was one that closed, having been linked to 182 cases of the coronavirus, which is nearly half the entire county's total. In addition to that facility, pork processing plants for Smithfield Foods in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and JBS in Worthington, Minnesota, also closed indefinitely earlier this April.3.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported record-high red meat, beef, and pork production in March. However, according to the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union, representatives of more than 250,000 industry workers, slaughter(屠宰) capacity is trending down 25% for pork and 10% for beef as 13 plants have closed. 4.
In a report, Julie Niederhoff, an associate professor of supply chain management at Syracuse University, was optimistic. “We’re not going to run out of food. 5.”
Also, Niederhoff claimed that the state of the food chain remains enough, despite shortage of a particular brand or type of food.
A.Demand from consumers is rising as many are sheltering at home.
B.The food supply chain is fragile.
C.The government will take some measures.
D.Because some of its 100,000 workers have fallen ill.
E.The COVID-19 pandemic is very serious.
F.These three plants make up about 15% of pork production in the U.S..
G.We’re going to run out of maybe your one particular favorite food.

Just the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.
From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry (条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly (任意地) selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with their performance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.
Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices (登记处) for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.
In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past, each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.
1. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores ______.
A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papers
B. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center worker
C. on the next day after they have taken the exam
D. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer
2. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance ______.
A. he can admit defeat and give it up B. he can ask the computer to give some advice
C. he can ask another chance within a few days D. he is allowed to do it once again
3.Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that ______.
A. different exams can be taken in the same room
B. one doesn’t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an exam
C. it will be much easier to pass an examination
D. one can take an exam almost at any time of the year
4.The word denied in the last sentence most probably means ______.
A. refused B. allowed C. lost D. passed

If you know something is bad for you, why can’t you just stop? After decades of research, scientists have found clues to why bad habits are so difficult to kick. 1..
Too tired to drag yourself to the gym? Not enough time to squeeze in a swim? 2. Short bursts of exercise can be beneficial too. For example, go for a shorter walk, but introduce some jogging in the middle. You can also walk faster between two landmarks, like trees. Gardening and climbing stairs count as well.
Not fancy eating vegetables? A 2019 survey found that only 29 per cent of adults ate the recommended five vegetables per day. 3. “If you’re at a party and want to eat healthier vegetables instead of fattening foods, then mentally visualize yourself doing that. It does not necessarily work, but it certainly can help,” says a researcher.
4. Therefore，it’s better to eat earlier in the day when you’re more likely to burn calories. You can also go to bed sooner so that you have less opportunity to give in to the late-night snacks. Ideally, eat nothing between dinner and bedtime.
Being negative is one of the biggest barriers to maintaining good habits. Worse still, it can do harm to your sense of well-being generally. 5. Whenever negative feelings pop into you head, try to fight the self-criticism by finding three positive thoughts, which in turn make your more emotionally intelligent.
A.Do remember that feelings are not facts.
B.Instead, stop eating just before you feel satisfied.
C.Overeating before bed proves harmful to your health.
D.Fitness doesn’t always have to involve long training periods.
E.A helpful technique is to imagine yourself in a tempting situation.
F.Now they’re developing strategies to break some of the bad habits.
G.Working out in the gym regularly will exercise your muscles and make you stronger.

The coronavirus outbreak has sparked panic buying of toilet paper and cleaning products in countries across the world, but one UK businessman is determined to spread some happiness among the anxiety and confusion.
Rob Braddick, 48, who owns Braddick’s Holiday Park in Westward Ho, Devon, in the southwest of England, has filled the toy grabber machines in his amusement park with two of the country’s most sought-after cleaning products.
Customers could previously try their hand at grabbing “Frozen 2” or “Peter Rabbit” toys from the machines, but no more. “They got removed this morning,” Braddick said of the toys, replacing them with toilet roll and hand sanitizer (洗手液). Visitors can now pay 50p for three goes on the toilet roll grabber, or a go for Carex, which Braddick described as the “Rolls- Royce of hand sanitizers.”
Braddick said that his decision was born of a desire to make people feel less stressed in uncertain times. “It’s a bit of light relief with everything that’s going on,” he said. “Hopefully it will raise a smile, which I think everybody needs.”
Around the world, travel plans have been severely affected, and tens of millions of people remain at home as part of global efforts to fight against coronavirus. Supermarkets have seen shortages of toilet paper and hand sanitizer as anxious consumers stockpile the products.
Braddick said the family business, which has been running since 1932, has received more than a dozen calls from potential customers who say they don’t want to travel abroad for their holidays and would rather stay in the UK. As for his own measures against coronavirus, Braddick said staff have been told to wash their hands every half hour, which is particularly important for those handling money.
1.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.New practice of the game. B.Prizes of the game.
C.Price for a try. D.People’s love for grabbing toys.
2.What’s the purpose of Braddick’s new idea?
A.To make higher profits. B.To attract more people to play the game.
C.To support his family business. D.To ease people’s anxiety.
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Cleaning products will be in shortage for a long time.
B.Braddick’s business is experiencing a hard time.
C.Tourism may fall into a decline.
D.Everyone in the park is told to wash their hands every half hour.
