When yu think f the sea, yu may nt think f Xinjiang r Inner Mnglia （内蒙古）. But recently, the “seafd” prduced in these places has becme ppular, especially after Japan put nuclear-cntaminated water（核污染水） int the sea, reprted China Daily.
In Xinjiang, abut 6, 000 tns f rainbw trut（虹鳟鱼） will be prduced this year. Rainbw
trut belngs t the same family as salmn（鲑鱼）, which is a kind f well-knwn seafd. It tastes like salmn, t.
Why d farmers there chse t grw fish? The weather in sme parts f Xinjiang is seldm ht, and the rivers are fed by meltwater frm the Tianshan Muntains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cld, it’s a “cmfrtable” hme fr fish, a wrker at a fish cmpany in Xinjiang, tld China Daily.
T make sure the river stays clean, the cmpany uses machines t clean fish waste in the water. They als use net cages that are gd fr the envirnment . The nets are abut 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.
Meanwhile, in Inner Mnglia, whiteleg shrimps（南美白对虾）grws well. Saline si（l
盐碱土）
cvers a large part f the desert（荒漠）where few plants are able t grw. Farmers used t put water frm the Yellw River nt the farmland t wash away the salt. This was a waste f salty water.
Scientists then came up with a new idea. They decided t make “seawater” with the salty water by adding in sme ther cmpnents（成分）. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind f water. They taste n different frm the same kind f shrimp that grws in the sea.
The cmpany cleans the water with machines and uses net cages t grw fish t avid water .
A. prtectinB. recyclingC. wasteD. pllutin

T tell peple it is safe t eat seafd.
T shw rivers are imprtant t a cuntry.
T shw anther “seafd” grwn withut using the sea.
T cmpare（比较）them with the shrimps that grw in the sea.
What can yu infer frm the stry?
Xinjiang has grwn many kinds f seafd.
China wn’t wrry abut nt having seafd.
The Yellw River is fit fr grwing whiteleg shrimps nw.
The nuclear-cntaminated water wn’t change anything in China.
