Why Buy Shade-Grown Coffee？

When people argue about whether coffee is good for health, they&39;re usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker. Is it food for your heart？ Does it increase blood pressure？ Does it help you concentrate？ However, coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways, too.

Traditionally, coffee bushes were planted under the canopy (树冠) of taller indigenous (土生土长的 ) trees. However, more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffees. At first, this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there aren&39;t any trees. With increased production come increased profits.

Unfortunately, deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases local-wildlife habitat.Native birds nest and hide from predators (捕食者 ) in the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.

Furthermore, in the long term, the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides are needed to grow the coffee. The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plant, but then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die. The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well, and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.

Fortunately, farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade. We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as "shade grown" and"bird friendly."Sure, these varieties might cost a little more. But we&39;re paying for the health of the birds, the land, ourselves, and the planet. I think it&39;s worth it.

What is the main idea of this passage？查看材料

A.Farmers are changing the way they grow coffee

B.Coffee is becoming more expensive to produce

C.Shade-grow coffee is more expensive than sun-grow coffee

D.People should buy shade-grown coffee

请根据短文内容，回答题。

Saving Money

Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for. If you are saving to buy a CD (光盘) or to go to a concert, then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room.＜br＞

If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money？＜br＞

One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank (猪形储蓄罐) , one year later you&39;ll still have the same amount of money you put in. If you put your money in a savings account,one year later, you&39;ll have more money than you put in. Why？＜br＞

When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money (and the money of other people, too) to loan money to people and businesses.＜br＞

The bank will send you a statement several times a year. A bank statement tells you how much money you have in your. account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank, you can watch it grow!＜br＞

Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don&39;t need to use for a long time, this is a good way to make your money grow.＜br＞

You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years. You can&39;t touch your money during that time. If you do, you must pay a penalty, or fee.

Your money will earn more money if you put it__________. 查看材料

A.in your room

B.in a piggy bank

C.in your pocket

D.in a savings account

根据以下材料，回答题The Issue of PackageMaybe everyone has such an experience that you have

根据以下材料，回答题

The Issue of Package

Maybe everyone has such an experience that you have to unwrap several layers of packaging when you enjoy a piece of candy. But this overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.

The package itself is of no interest to the shopper， who usually throws it away immediately. So why is it done？ Some of it， like the cellophane on meat， is necessary， but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.

Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies， washed out，and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.

The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops， a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.

It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging， intended to be used just once， and make things look better so more people will buy them， is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is， after all， a relatively unimportant function.

"This overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. " （Line 2， Paragraph 1） means __________. 查看材料

A.more wrapping is needed for ordinary products

B.more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products

C.too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products

D.the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary

Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking？

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication--having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.＜br＞

The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worded.＜br＞

Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worded about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.＜br＞

On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some who use mobile phones？ Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be deteeted with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn&39;t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer&39;s doctor didn&39;t agree.＜br＞

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful？ The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.＜br＞

As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it&39;s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it&39;s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that__________. 查看材料

A.they"re popular.

B.they"re cheap.

C.they"re useful.

D.they"re convenient.
