阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中,选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

The following people are expressing their thoughts (81--85) to show their concern for food, environment and so on.After that are pieces of related information (A--F) .Now decide which piece of information would be most suitable for the thought and idea mentioned in questions (81—85) and mark your answer letter (A---F) on your answer sheet.There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.

______How I was struck by the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were.Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.

______More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.

______Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.

______I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.

______Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

       A."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 more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.

       B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts 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.

       C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

       D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?"  "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"

       E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

       F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

Pressure too much?

    In our daily life we are used to hearing these words, “I can't wait for my holiday,” “I wish I could stay home today” And “I'm very tired.” These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl”(铁饭碗) is being broken into pieces. Workers may be fired if they don’t perform their duties well. They have to do their jobs better.

    People feel pressure not only because they might find themselves out of work but also because they get no real pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be meaningless and worthless.

    But pressure is a natural part of work. There is no way to keep away from it. We should face up to it.

    Work should be a cause of happiness and pride rather than a punishment or a burden .In fact, a certain amount of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit, developing a hobby and finding a new interest is of first importance. I like listening to pop music, which makes me calm and gives me pleasure.

    If pressure becomes difficult to deal with, we should turn to our friends or families. We can have a drink with our friends and talk about the problem. We should always discuss our problems with our families. Good advice, warmth and happiness that families bring to us can reduce our pressure and encourage us to smooth away all difficulties.

Peopel feel pressure at work mainly because ______.

  A. they will lose their jobs

  B. most of them find less interest in their work

  C. they can make more money after work.

  D. they want to stay at home.

Which of the following is WRONG in the writer’s opinion?

  A. Where there is work there is pressure.

  B. Work shouldn’t be regarded as punishment or burden.

  C. All modern men are worried and low in spirit.

  D. A certain amount of pressure is necessary.

From the text we can know that when pressure is too big, ________.

  A. we should drink coffee with our friends

  B. we can get help and comfort from our friends or families.

  C. we can go home because it is warm

  D. to talk out the problem to our friends and families is the best way.

         When I was an education official in Palo Alto, California.Polly Tyner, the president of our school board, wrote a letter that was printed in the Palo Alto Times.Polly’s son, Jim, had great difficulty in school.He was classified as educationally disabled and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers.But Jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room.His parents acknowledged his academic difficulties, but always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride.Shortly after Jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident.After his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper.

         Today we buried our 20-year-old son.He was killed instantly in a motorcycle accident on Friday night.How I wish I had known when I talked to him last that it would be the last time.If I had only known I would have said, “Jim, I love you and I’m very proud of you.”

         I would have taken the time to count the many blessings he brought to the lives of the many who loved him.I would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, the sound of his laughter, his genuine love of people.

         When you put all the good qualities on the scale and try to balance all the irritating phenomena such as the radio which was always too loud, the haircut that wasn’t to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc., your angry feelings won’t amount to much.

         I won’t get another chance to tell my son all that I would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, you do have a chance.Tell your young people what you would want them to hear if you knew it would be your last conversation.The last time I talked to Jim was the day he died.He called me to say, “Hi, Mom! I just called to say I love you.Got to go to work.Bye.” He gave me something to treasure forever.

         If there is any purpose at all for Jim’s death, maybe it is to make others appreciate more of life and to have people, especially family members, take the time to let each other know just how much we care.

1.According to the passage, we know that ____.

         A.Jim kept to himself    B.Jim did very well in his studies

         C.Jim’s parents were patient with him         D.Jim failed to finish his high school

2.The underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 means ____.

         B.remind people to be cautious of motorcycles

         C.advise people to take the chance to express their love in time

         D.appreciate more of life than ever before
