19、s and vegetables when shopping for produce(农产品), but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and potatoes
20、to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more imperfect vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at a
21、ll. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.“It really went well beyond our expect
22、ation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some choices.”Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The posit
23、ive response(响应) to the first offering of apples and potatoes showed the chance to enlarge the line and offer more choices at a greater price to Canadian families.“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that wont look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store,”
24、said Branson. “And nature doesnt grow everything perfectly. Id like to think if somebody were to take an apple from Naturally Imperfect, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”34.

28、urselves are more nutritious than those in the store.CThe world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we cant drink or use for watering
29、plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers and lakes.

Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would n
31、ot be enough. What should people do next?The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water.

40、map.“The storm took us north,” he said. “I think we must be near here.” He pointed to the mouth of the river Orinoco.“The ship is full of holes,” he went on.
