The other day I was shopping at the local Chinese grocery store. There was a line at the fish counter, but only one staff person was there to take care of the customers. Some customers ordered quite an amount of fish for that staff person to work on. At last I was the second in line. All I wanted was a couple of crabs and should get out of there in no time.

Noticing it was very busy at the fish counter, another staff person came over to help. I was ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snail (蜗牛). The customers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start here,” pointing at me. He was, well, ignored.

If someone asked me, “What is the most important rule to follow in America?” I would reply without hesitation. “Wait your turn at all times.” Wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations, it’s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, “wait your turn” is more than just a guideline — it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. But in some situations your turn does not always come based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.

1.What happened to the author at the store?

A.He was ill-treated by a customer. B.He wasn’t served upon his order.

C.He was asked to be served later. D.He was asked to do others a favor.

2.What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.His belief. B.His culture.

C.His experience. D.His rule.

3.Why did the author write the text?

A.To emphasize his kindness to others. B.To introduce some western cultures to us.

C.To express his belief and his feeling. D.To show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.

When we Americans shop at the grocery stores today, we don’t seem to be surprised at the sight of strawberries in the winter or perfect tomatoes from Holland. In the space of a generation, we’ve become accustomed to eating food that’s never grown roots in local soil. In fact, most produce(农产品) grown in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles before it gets sold.

Trucking, shipping and flying in food from around the country and the globe has a very bad effect on the environment and on public health. Take grapes for example. Every year, nearly 270 million pounds of grapes arrive in California, most of them shipped from Chile to the Port of Los Angeles. Their 5,900-mile journey in cargo ships and trucks gives off 7,000 tons of global warming pollution each year, and enough air pollution to cause dozens of asthma(哮喘) attacks and hundreds of missed school clays in California.

The way we eat has a great influence on the health of the planet. By choosing to eat lower on the food chain, and focusing on local and organic(有机的) produce, we can reduce global warming and air pollution, avoid poisonous chemicals, support local farmers and enjoy fresh, tasty food.

People are rediscovering the benefits of buying local food. How your food is grown, stored, transported, processed and cooked can all influence how it affects climate and the environment. Transportation-related influences are particularly important for imported foods. NRDC calculated the transportation influences of importing fresh produce and wine widely consumed in California. They directly compared the climate and air quality influenced by importing these foods instead of growing and consuming them in California. Their analysis shows that—all else being equal—locally grown foods are a better choice.

72. From the passage we can learn that most produce sold at the grocery stores in the US ________.

A. is grown by local farmers                          B. is from foreign countries

C. comes from far away                              D. is out of season

73. What would be the effect of transportation of foods?

A. It pollutes the foods during the transportation.

B. It makes the cost of the foods much higher.

C. It makes the foods less fresh and tasteless.

D. It causes air pollution and global warming.

74. Which of the following may have a bad effect on the health of the planet?

A. Eating higher on the food chain.                 B. Eating locally grown foods.

C. Eating more organic produce.                   D. Eating fresh and tasty foods.

75. The main purpose of the passage is ________.

A. to help the local farmers grow and sell their produce

B. to tell people that imported foods are less healthy

C. to warn people of the harmfulness of food transportation

D. to get local people to reject the imported foods

When you’re shopping at the grocery store, you probably expect that the olive oil you see came from,well, olives. And that the organic vegetables were never exposed to poisonous chemicals. Increasingly, however, there’s a chance you might be ______. In recent years, there has been a rise in reports of so-called food fraud, or attempts by various entities — including storage workers, suppliers and distributors — to alter products and mislead customers and food companies alike for ______ gain. Among the more recent examples: “natural” honey containing antibiotics and Italian companies selling “Italian olive oil” from a blend of oils that did not ______ from Italy.

By and large, the fraudsters are trying to make easy money — ______ for a whole food or pricey ingredient, then cutting it with ______ stuff secretly. But the health consequences can be ______.

How can this happen? In the U.S., the Pure Food and Drug Act has prevented the “manufacture, sale or transportation of misbranded or poisonous foods” since 1906, and similar laws exist in other countries.

But most global food regulators, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, aren’t ______ to enforce them effectively. For the most part, they focus on safety standards — ______ that foods don’t contain bacteria or viruses — and rely on companies to police their own ingredients, lest they face ______ backlash（强烈抵制）. But now that food manufacturing has become globalized, supply chains are longer, creating more opportunities for bad actors to ______. Anyone who can ______ substituting cheap ingredients for more expensive ones is going to try.

Governments are starting to fight back. In 2014, the U.K. created a food-crime unit that collects reports of food fraud. But in order to prevent fraud in the first place, the food industry needs to ______ the safeguarding of its own production network. So the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) — a trade group including officials from more than 300 food manufactures — will this year start ______ its members’ supply chains, from field to table, to identify vulnerabilities.

______, dozens of other food-industry experts recently teamed up with academics from Michigan State University to launch the Food Fraud Initiative （FFI）, a group that studies fraudsters — specifically, how they avoid safeguards — and then advises food companies on how to get rid of them. “There are plenty of criminals out there who are going to wake up and perceive some opportunity for fraud,” says John Spink, director of the FFI. “We just need to make ourselves a(n) ______ target.”

1.A.definite B.peaceful C.optimistic D.wrong

2.A.financial B.social C.technological D.potential
