Have a look in your fridge. Perhaps there are apples from California or potatoes from Egypt. You may be amazed how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from field to plate, is called “food miles”. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of mil es to get to the consumer(消费者 ). Why is this, and what are the effects of these long distances? In the past, farmers sold their food in the local market and the consumers did not travel very far to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally and they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modern technology, food es from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want． In addition, some countries have to import(进口 ) most of their food because they have difficult climates. The UAE (阿联酋 ), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. What’s wrong with “food miles”? Is n’ t it a good way to increase international trade? I believe these “food miles” are affecting people for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, trucks, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil, so there is more pollution and more global warming. In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food. 61. According to the passage, “ food miles” refers to the distance that food travels _________ A. from the farmer’ s field to the consumer B. from the farmer’ s field to the local market C. from the local market to the consumer 62. The underlined word “ available” in Paragraph 2 means “ ______” . A. able to get B. impossible to buy C. difficult to plant 63. The UAE imports most of its food because of________. A. better taste B. difficult climates C. modern technology 64. The writer uses the LAST paragraph mainly to encourage readers to ______． A. use more oil B. develop international trade C. buy more local food 65. Which is one of the effects of “ food miles” mentioned in the passage? A. It causes more traffic accidents. B. There is more global pollution and warming. C. Farmers no longer sell food in the local markets.

Once a young man called Jack went to the village. He sat on a rock by the lake and began to fish. 67 He became angry and thought the ducks frightened the fish away. He brought out a gun and shot one.
