The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.
The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.
Better for the Environment
Sustainability(持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.
Taste and Nutritional Content
Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.
Community and Home Values
When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.
1.According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ________.
A. you are making money from your community
B. you will contribute to protecting the environment
C. you will become much healthier and prettier
D. you can see how fruits and vegetables grow
2.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ________.
A. the cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers
B. global warming is the most serious problem now
C. North American food is rich in various kinds of materials
D. most people support buying legally
3.Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because ________.
A. they are sent to the market at a high speed
B. they aren’t polluted by chemical fertilizers
C. they can be harvested at any time
D. they are picked when they are fully grown
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.
B. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.
C. The benefits of buying locally.
D. The importance of protecting the environment.

An exhibition at the Harvard Museum of Natural History is around the theme of food plant disease, using early 20th-century glass models of rotting fruit.
Known as Harvard's "Glass Flowers", the Ware Collection of Blaschka Glass Models of Plants consists of over 4，300 sculptures of plants and plant parts fashioned entirely in glass by the German father-and-son artists Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka between 1887 and 1936. Harvard originally used the models as teaching tools, showing plants' three-dimensional structure and color.
The "Fruits in Decay" shows a collection of models of diseased, rotting, and withering(枯萎的) fruiting plants. The rotting fruit series was intended specifically to educate the public about the danger of plant disease. These models were created by Rudolf, the younger Blaschka, in the early 20th century Harvard botanist Oakes Ames asked him to create these diseased fruit models. And he thought about these as a way to look at what we now call food security-or insecurity.
Though the models were made nearly a hundred years ago, the theme is as remarkable as ever. Most of the illnesses shown on Rudolf Blaschka's plant models still affect today's crops.
"In certain ways, global agriculture is more likely to be harmed than it has ever been to disease threats(威胁), largely due to the widespread practice of planting one crop over large production areas. Less genetic diversity means that crops have less resistance to disease," says Sheng Yang He, a professor at Michigan State University.
Climate change will make plants more vulnerable to disease because warming temperatures disable an important plant defense system against plant disease. Major crop loss from plant disease is already at a shocking 20 t0 40 percent. Food security threats from disease will almost certainly become more common so there's a lot to be done about convincing people of it.
1.What are shown on the exhibition?
A.Models of diverse crops. B.Models of withering flowers.
C.Models of rotting plant parts. D.Models of diseased fruiting plants.
2.By whom were the exhibits created?
A.Oakes Ames. B.Sheng Yang He.
C.Rudolf Blaschka. D.Leopold Blaschka.
3.Why is the exhibition meaningful?
A.It convinces people of the food security threats.
B.It reminds people of effects of global warming.
C.It helps people understand the history of fruit planting.
D.It provides people with knowledge of global agriculture.
4.What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Weak and easily hurt. B.Resistant and protected.
C.Defensive and hard to attack. D.Sensitive and completely destroyed.
