When I was a little by grwing up, my Mm, Dad, brthers and I lived in my Nana’s ld huse. It was surrunded by fur huge vegetable gardens.
And arund the huse s many flwers were planted. It was s beautiful there in the spring and summer. That wasn’t all, thugh. On the back prch
Nana had dzens f ptted plants hanging n hks. She watered them, talked t them and nurtured them. And in the winter she wuld carry them all
inside and set them n shelves near the windws f ur enclsed frnt prch. There with a little water and a lt f lve she kept them alive, green, and
grwing even during the cldest, darkest mnths.
As a by I was puzzled by all the effrt she put int them. I understd the vegetable gardens. They helped t feed the family all winter lng. I even
understd the flwers arund the huse. They were pretty and smelled s sweet in the summer mnths. The reasn she put s much effrt int caring
fr thse ptted plants, hwever, eluded me. They didn’t give us any fd and they rarely had any flwers n them. They remained a mystery t my
child’s mind.
Nw as I’ve grwn lder I am beginning t understand why my Nana had thse ptted plants. It is the same reasn I have s many pictures f
sunrises and frests hanging in my hme. They remind me during the dark, cld, winter mnths full f bare trees and yellw grass that light, lve, and
grwth still exist. They remind me that Spring will cme again. They remind me that Gd lves us and is still with us even when the earth desn’t shw
it.

Tday I see Nana’s ptted plants in a new light. They are wrth every bit f the lve and care she put int them. But what tells me mst abut light
and lve is Nana herself. She is light t my sul even in my darkest times. And her lve lives n in my heart even if she is in Heaven. May we all learn t
lve as she lved, shine as she shined, and live as she lived.

Peple generally like t pick ut the best-lking fruits and vegetables when shpping fr prduce (农产品), but Canadian supermarket chain
Lblaws is attracting custmers with badly-shaped and faulty prduce at the price f 30% lwer than nrmal-lking ne.
A trial run f the ugly fd line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with nly apples and ptates t chse frm. Cnsumer demand has been
s huge that Lblaws is ging t intrduce mre ugly vegetables and fruits like nins and mushrms.
All the prduce that will be sld thrugh Naturally Imperfect wuld therwise have been used in juices, sauces, r sups, r have nt been harvested
at all. The directr Dan Bransn explained that this prgram benefited bth fd prducers wh wuld therwise have t let abnrmal prduce g t
waste, and cnsumers wh culd buy fresh prduce at lw prices. And he was right, given hw ppular the line has becme.
“It really went well beynd ur expectatin,” Bransn said. “I think it really spke t the fact that Canadians are ut there really lking fr sme
ptins.”
Of curse, Canadians knw that beauty is mre than skin deep, and they als recgnize that they can get the same flavr and nutritinal benefits in
spite f appearances. The psitive respnse t the initial ffering f apples and ptates shwed the pprtunity t expand the line and ffer mre
ptins at a greater price t Canadian families.
“If yu grw prduce in yur backyard, there will be a lt f prduce that wn’t lk as pretty as what yu will see in a grcery stre”, said
Bransn. “And nature desn’t grw everything perfectly. I’d like t think if smebdy were t take a N Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right
beside a N.1 apple, clse his eyes and eat them, there wuld be n difference.”

B．Smart cnsumers knw the imprtance f ugly prduce.
C．Lblaws intends t imprve custmers’ quality f life.
D．Custmers’ supprt prmtes the develpment f the ugly fd line.
【小题4】What d Bransn’s wrds in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
