           LONDON（Reuters）―Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

           “Organic produce is always better,”Gold said.“The food is free of pesticides（农药），and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And at most times it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty.”Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers accepting the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences（偏爱）but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amount of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.“The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,”said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business

     LONDON―A morning’s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids talk about Liverpool’s soccer team in a Paris pub.

    Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.

    In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival(竞争的) cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.

    Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor’s broken French and respond in polite English.

    As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.

    Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.

    “For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.

    Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London,” she said.

    There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris,” she said.

    In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the cold descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.

    “Both cities have changed beyond recognition.” Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.

    Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.

    “I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.

    “But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”

    But certainly not cheaper.

    In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.

    Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.

    Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose.

    “I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured,” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”

     

    68．The best title for this passage is ____.

        A. Londoners and Parisians      

        B. A Modern Tale of Two Cities

        C. The Similarity of Two Cities   

        D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris

    69．We can infer from the text ____.

        A. Paris and London has become perfect partners.

        B. London feels more full of life.

        C. life in Paris is structured.

        D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors.

    70．The underlined word “flocked” probably means ____.

        A. came in large numbers         

        B. flew a long way

        C. rushed hurriedly              

        D. drove long distances

    71．From the passage we can know ____.

        A. the two cities have developed very fast

        B. London is better than Paris now

        C. Paris is a favorite place for all journalism students

        D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life

    When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg for a few coins, do you hurry on, not knowing what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly hand over some money? What should our attitude to beggars be? There can be no question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It must be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems cruel not to give some money to beggars.

     Certainly, most of the world's great religions(宗教) order us to be open-hearted and share what we have with those less fortunate than ourselves. But has the world changed?  Maybe what was morally(道德方面) right in the old days, when one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help, is no longer the best idea. Quite a few people will not give to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.

     First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (罪行). Secondly, there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.

     Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.

    It is hard to come to any final conclusion: there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver.

     

    72. What is mainly discussed in the passage?

    A. Moral deeds of people                 B. Religious activities of the church.

    C. Moral goodness of the giver.        D. Arguments on giving to beggars.

    73. What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?

    A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.

    B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.

    C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.

    D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.

    74. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

    A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.

    B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school

    C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.

    D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.

    75. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because _____

    A. the cases can be so different          B. there are so many beggars

    C. there is so much money wasted      D. there are so many different arguments
