Do you like bananas? They taste good and you ...

Do you like bananas? They taste good and you can have them without washing. However, British scientists say that the fruit may die out by 2050.

One reason for this is climate change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据)from 27 countries that produce 86% of the world's bananas. They found that climate change made people harvest more bananas.

However, if temperatures keep going higher, this advantage will disappear. Some countries, like India, the world's biggest producer of bananas, will produce(生产)fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.

Shouldn't bananas grow more easily if it's hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature for growing bananas is between 24℃ and 32℃. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.

Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.

One serious disease is called Panama. It spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园)develop the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists haven't found a good way to deal with this disease till now.

1.If temperatures keep going higher, maybe _____________________.

Experts in nutrition suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 1.

It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons：

2. You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.

You may want to cut down on your “food miles”—the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3. Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 4. You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more important things that keep you healthy.

5. And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard. Some food can grow well in pots, including tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.

A.Best of all, you can grow your own!

B.That's not so good for you, or for the planet.

C.Food that you grow yourself is always fresh.

D.If you have a large garden, growing your own is easy.

E.You can control what goes on and into the food you eat.

If you want to know how others treat you, you should first see how you treat others. 1.

Relationships function like a mirror—eventually that change will reflect back onto how you are treated.

Here are a few important tips to remember about how to treat others：

2.

Everyone has a past. Some are a source of pride, and others are best left behind. But whatever their past was, people do change and grow, so instead of judging, stand by and support them as they move toward their future. Treat them with respect.

3.

One of the greatest gifts we can give another is kindness. If someone is in need, lend a helping hand. Don't do it only for the people you like and respect—that's easy—but also for the ones who drive you crazy and those you don't even know. True kindness lies in the act of giving without the expectation of getting something in return.

4.

The moment you think you have the right to belittle others because you are better than they are is the moment you prove you have no power. If you can't offer help, support, or love, at least do everything in your power not to hurt them or make them feel small.Treat everyone you meet with honor.

Remember, everyone has a story.

5.

Anyway, I hope you are loved.

A.Treat everyone with kindness—not because they are kind­hearted, but because you are.

B.Instead of judging people by their past, stand by them and help them build their future.

C.And if you don't like the way you're treated, there's only one course of action—to change your own behavior, because you can't change anyone else's.

D.It may be something they've gone through in the past or something they're still dealing with, but remember that behavior doesn't happen in a vacuum. Everyone has inner battles and problems. Respect them.

E.Don't try to make yourself great by making someone else look small.
