We just went Christmas shopping this weekend, just to pick up a little here and there for the kids. 1.. We have discovered how to save time and money through a little research. Follow me and you can find some excellent tips.

First thing that you want to do is to make a list of what you are looking for exactly. 2.. This will make your shopping experience less painful and time-wasting. It will also help with making it less expensive. You won’t be persuaded to buy things that you don’t need or want because it is on sale.

3.. If you are familiar with the stores that you are buying things from, you will already know how they work. For example, Wal-Mart gives excellent pricing only for online sales, as well as free shipping.

When leaving your favorite stores, you want to look for exactly what is on your list. Compare prices and availability. 4.. Don’t just depend on your favorite stores. Sometimes you will come across things at prices you never knew in your familiar store.

After pricing shopping, go back to the stores that have the best price for the thing you want and buy it. 5. You may get it for a great price, but the shipping and handling costs will make you spend more if you are not careful.

Unlike produce such as peaches or bananas, strawberries begin to decline as soon as they are picked. Scientists have been working on a special protection that delays spoilage by slowing water loss and oxidation (氧化).

Every fruit and vegetable breathes. Once a piece of produce is picked from a tree or plant, it continues to breathe, aging slowly, until it begins to break down. Microorganisms then move in, causing it to spoil. Refrigeration can delay the process, but only so much.

Some scientists now think they can make your bananas, avocados, and other fresh produce last up to twice as long by delaying spoilage. Apeel, a start-up in Santa Barbara, California, has created a way to remove lipids from several popular crops and transform each type into a powder. Dissolved in water and applied to fruits or vegetables, it forms an edible(可食用的) barrier to lock moisture in and microorganisms out.

Farmers can apply a version of the solution in the field, or distributors can use the rinse (冲洗) on the packing line, extending a fruit’s shelf life by days or even weeks. The FDA recognizes the process as safe, and earlier this year it was approved for use on organic produce.

Giving shoppers more time with their fresh food is one purpose. But Apeel’s higher goal is to fight food waste and reduce the number of refrigerated trucks and ships that race between fields and stores to deliver food at its peak. The technology can also allow more crops to be delivered to more places farther and farther from where they’re grown. “You can imagine a world without seasonality of fresh produce,” says James Rogers, Apeel’s CEO and a materials scientist.

In the meantime, who couldn’t use a few extra days before that fruit in the fridge starts to mold?

1.What has the company, Apeel, invented?

A. A strategy to fight food waste by mixing fruits or vegetables with crops.

B. A solution to get rid of what causes fresh fruits or vegetables spoil.

C. A method to remove crop lipids and change them into nutritious powder.

D. A way to lock moisture in and microorganisms out by forming an edible barrier.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. Fruits and vegetables picked from trees can go bad easily without any protection.

B. Scientists are aimed at a new way to prevent fresh produce from molding soon.

C. Farmers and distributors can use what Apeel has created but it proves unsafe.

D. Shoppers are among those who can benefit a lot from Apeel’s new idea.

3.What do James Rogers’s words mean?

A. Every fruit and vegetable will stay fresh all year around in the future.

B. The food fresh keeping technology contributes to long-distance transporting.

C. You can get any fresh produce in any season in the future.

D. You can use the fridge to store the fresh produce for a longer time.
