【题目】 Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.
There are two causes of the chocolate shortage(短缺) --- chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.
First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre 4. for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, they still believe that there is now hope!

【2】How can we solve the problem of the chocolate shortage?

【题目】 There used to be many beautiful flowers in our garden. Among them was a beautiful blue flower. My husband once told me that it only bloomed(开花) in spring and the sun in summer was too hot for it. When summer came, he would move it out of the garden and put it inside our house.
Once, my husband was away for some time on business, so I had to take care of the flowers. Before leaving, he told me to pay special attention to the blue flower. I planned to look after it as my husband had ever done, but I was too busy to remember it. One weekend when I wanted to move the blue flower into the house, I found that it had already died. I was very sad and regretted not taking good care of it earlier.
A week ago, my husband's elder sister, Linda, died of a serious stomach illness. Linda was much older than my husband. Maybe because of the age gap(差距), we were not very close. After she died, we were very sad and regretted not visiting her often.
Linda's death reminds me of the blue flower. We should have done something better, but we haven't tried our best. I believe that God has given us enough time to plant some wonderful things that will bloom inside us, but we have missed it.
