Campaigners have been prmting the idea f purchasing lcal fd recently, with the argument that it can reduce "fd miles," referring t the distance fd travels frm the prducer t the shp wner. The greater the fd miles, the higher the carbn emissins. Therefre, buying lcal fd results in a lwer carbn ftprint and is cnsidered mre envirnmentally friendly.
Nnetheless, the actual situatin is mre cmplex than it appears. Imprtantly, imprted fd ften pssesses a lwer carbn ftprint cmpared t lcally grwn alternatives. Cnsider apples, fr instance. Lcal apples in Britain, bught during winter r spring, have usually been stred in refrigeratin fr mnths, cnsuming substantial energy. In cntrast, imprting apples frm New Zealand during their natural seasn, in spring, is mre energy-efficient. Similarly, prducing tmates in heated greenhuses in the UK has a greater envirnmental impact than imprting them frm Spain, where the climate favrs their grwth.
Additinally, the mde f transprtatin plays a significant rle. Fd transprted by air tends t generate higher emissins. Hwever, nly a limited selectin f items are flwn t cnsumer cuntries, usually high-value and perishable gds that cannt be lcally prduced. Even in these cases, the carbn ftprint f these fds may nt surpass that f lcally grwn alternatives. Fr example, beans flwn in frm Kenya are cultivated in sunny fields using natural fertilizers, in cntrast t Britain's reliance n il-based fertilizers and machinery.
It is crucial t acknwledge that a prduct's jurney extends beynd the supermarket. Driving lng distances t shp fr fd can ffset any envirnmental benefits gained frm buying lcally grwn prduce. Mrever, pting fr lcal ver imprted fd can negatively impact peple in develping cuntries wh rely n selling their prduce verseas fr their livelihds.
Sme supermarkets have recently attempted t raise awareness abut fd miles by labeling prducts t indicate air transprtatin. Hwever, this message versimplifies a fd's carbn ftprint, which is influenced by varius factrs. Even if we exclusively purchase lcally grwn, in-seasn fd, ethical cncerns remain, ptentially limiting dietary chices and affecting us all.
Why might chsing imprted apples in the UK during spring be a favrable ptin?
It supprts lcal farmers.
It minimizes energy cnsumptin.
It ffers cst-efficiency and cnvenience.
D. It significantly reduces carbn emissins.
Accrding t the authr, what shuld readers cnsider aviding?
Purchasing tmates imprted frm Spain.
Prviding assistance t farmers in impverished natins.
Buying beans transprted by air frm Kenya.
D. Undertaking lng jurneys t buy lcally surced fd.
What is the authr's perspective n labeling fd prducts?
It facilitates ethical shpping decisins.
It fails t prvide a cmprehensive and accurate prtrayal.
It elevates awareness f envirnmental cncerns.
D. It ffers precise prduct infrmatin.
What is the primary bjective f this text?
T reslve a particular issue.
T make a frward-lking prjectin.
T challenge a prevalent belief.
D. T interpret an bserved phenmenn.

Plant-based leathers have the ptential t revlutinize the fashin industry. Nw, MycWrks, a Califrnia based bitech cmpany, has created a new ec-friendly, vegetal leather derived frm mushrms. The leather turns mycelium (菌丝体)—threads frm the rt structure f mushrms—int a material that imitates the lk and feel f an animal-based leather.
“It’s the first time that a cmpany has been able t prduce a vegetal prduct which is matching r even exceeding the quality and durability f a natural ne. It’s a super achievement,” Patrick Thmas, frmer Hermés CEO and a member f MycWrks bard f directrs, said in a statement.
MycWrks creates this special material by using engineered mycelium cells. As the cells grw int 3D structures, they becme densely intertwined (交织的), eventually frming a tugh material, called Fine Mycelium, which has the strength, durability and perfrmance f the traditinal leather. The result differs frm ther vegetal leathers made with mushrms. Mst mushrm leathers are made frm cmpressed slid fam that mycelium frms naturally, but withut engineering, they lack the same lk and feel as an animal-based leather.
Fine Mycelium can grw in trays (托盘). These trays can be designed t fit a designer’s exact specificatins, aviding any waste. After Fine Mycelium is harvested, it is tanned (鞣色) and finished t lk and feel like an animal leather.
Last year, luxury fashin brand Hermés debuted their Victria bag, which featured MycWrk’s Fine Mycelium material. Other cmpanies, including Adidas with their Myl-made Stan Smith shes and Lululemn with their mushrm-based yga prducts, have als jumped n the ec-friendly trend.
The use f plant-based leathers cmes during a time when scientists and innvatrs are trying t cme up with slutins fr the climate crisis and animal agriculture. Envirnmentally, manufacturing animal-based leathers creates havc because f defrestatin and methane emissins cnnected t the animals raised fr leathers.
Hwever, sme experts criticize the new mushrm-based leather because it is currently nly available as a rare item. Fr the material t be a truly sustainable ptin and make a majr impact, it wuld need t be mre accessible. They questin whether the cmpany can prvide designers with enugh material t create their prducts.
28. What is special abut MycWrks’ new leather?
A. It is the first t be made frm mycelium.
B. It is an ec-friendly and vegetal prduce.
C. It is the first-ever mushrm-based leather.
D. It is cmparable with the animal-based leather.
29. What can we learn frm the text?
A. MycWrks has been partly financed by Hermés.
B. MycWrks’ new leather has made a high fashin debut.
C. Trays are needed when designers deal with Fine Mycelium.
D. 3D technlgy is used when MycWrks creates its new leather.
30. What des the underlined part “havc” in Paragraph 6 prbably mean?
A. Chas.B. Harmny.
C. Evlutin. D. Frtune.
31. Which f the fllwing d sme experts cncern mst?
A. The price f the new leather. B. The supply f the new leather.
C. The quality f the new leather. D. The durability f the new leather.

Psychlgists specializing in the field f decisin-making have discvered that emplying a decisin wrksheet is amng the mst effective appraches fr tackling significant chices. Researchers in the ptimizatin branch f psychlgy analyze real-wrld decisins made by individuals and cntrast them with theretically ideal decisins t gauge their similarity. Advcates f the wrksheet technique cntend that it leads t ptimal utcmes, representing the best chices. While decisin wrksheets cme in varius frmats, they share fundamental characteristics. They begin with a clear and cncise prblem definitin, fllwed by the explanatin f all pssible slutins. Subsequently, the relevant factrs impacted by each chice are listed, and their relative imprtance is determined. Each factr is assigned a numerical value reflecting its significance, and these values are summed t calculate a decisin's scre. The alternative with the highest scre emerges as the superir chice.
Given that many significant prblems encmpass multiple facets, individuals encunter several chices, each bearing unique advantages and drawbacks. The advantage f emplying a pencil and paper decisin-making methd lies in its capacity t accmmdate mre variables than the human mind can typically handle and retain. On average, individuals can juggle abut seven ideas simultaneusly. Decisin wrksheets prve exceptinally beneficial when decisins invlve numerus intricate variables and relatinships. A practical illustratin pertinent t numerus cllege students revlves arund the pst-graduatin questin: "What will I d after graduatin?" A graduate might cntemplate seeking specialized training in a jb, pursuing further educatin, r embarking n a year f internatinal travel.
The decisin wrksheet begins with a brief prblem statement, which helps narrw the scpe. It is crucial t differentiate between lng-term and immediate bjectives since the decisin-making prcess ften diverges fr each. While fcusing n lng-term gals, a graduating student might refrmulate the previus questin as fllws: "What pst-graduatin path will lead t a successful career?"
32.What is the first step in the decisin-making prcess using a wrksheet?
Defining the prblem cncisely.
Thinking f all ptential slutins.
Listing the cnsequences f each slutin.
Determining the relative imprtance f cnsideratins.
Accrding t decisin-wrksheet thery, an ptimal decisin is defined as ne that ____________.
A. has the mst pints assigned t it
utilizes the mst decisin wrksheets
invlves the fewest variables fr cnsideratin
reaches the widest cnsensus amng peple
34. What is the authr's attitude tward emplying a pencil and paper decisin-making prcedure?
A. Ambiguus. B. Sceptical. C. Supprtive. D. Dismissive.
35. What is the primary fcus f the passage?
Research n human decisin-making prcesses.
The utility f decisin wrksheets in cmplex chices.
A cmparisn between actual and ideal decisins.
D. Distinctins between lng-term and shrt-term decisin making.

Dispsing f unwanted items in ur lives ften means simply thrwing them int the garbage r recycling bin—r, if they’re still useful, giving them away. It’s different with ld credit cards, which shuld be destryed s nbdy can use them fraudulently. _____36______Here’s hw t get rid f an ld card.
First, cntact the issuer.
If clsing the accunt is yur gal, yu’ll have t call the number n the back f yur card and ask t d s. If yur card is a rewards card, remember t first redeem pints r cash back. Change any autmatic payments t a different card, and be sure t pay the final card bill.

Nevertheless, it might be wrthwhile t clse the accunt anyway.
Alternatively, yu can feed cards int a specialized machine.
Credit scres als factr in the length f time yu've had the card pen.
Dispsing f a metal card n yur wn is mre challenging and ptentially unsafe.
Yu can skip this step if yu're just replacing an expired r cmprmised card.
Be cautius with debit cards and ther plastic frms where fraud culd result in financial lsses.
