阅读下列短文,然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳选项。

    LONDON (Reuters) — Organic (有机的) fruit, sent right to the home. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer engineer will spend more money at the supermarket to buy organic food.

    "Organic food is always better," Gold said. "The food is free of pesticides (农药), and you are generally for family farms instead of large farms. And often it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is more tasty." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying the organic fruit, and supermarkets across Britain are depending more on people like him. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic food? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their choices — but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic food. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported (进口) to meet growing needs. "The needs for organic food are increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market," said Sue Flock, a specialist in this business.

(1)、More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because________.
A、they are getting richer B、they can get the food anywhere C、they think the food is free of pollution D、they like home-grown fruit
(2)、Which of the following statements is true about most organic food sold in Britain?
A、It is grown indoors all year round. B、It is grown outside Britain. C、It is grown on family farms. D、It is grown on large farms.
(3)、According to the passage, about ________ of organic food in Britain is from the country itself.
A、1/2 B、3/4 C、1/3 D、1/4
(4)、What is the best title for the passage?
A、Organic food — for health, or just for the rich? B、Organic food — to grow or not? C、Organic food — qualities or quantities? D、Organic food — to import or not?
(5)、This passage is most probably ________.
A、a market report B、a science report C、a medicine report D、a news report
举一反三
 阅读下面短文,理解其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

 In small towns, people are used to saying hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets and in front of their homes. In today's city life, people may feel uncomfortable talking to neighbors they do not know well in line at the supermarket. But greeting your neighbors is actually good for you, especially if you say hello to six people, according to a recent survey.

 Saying hello to people increases well- being(幸福), but six is the magic number. The well- being score increases from zero to six and then there are no further increases. These results are part of the Gallup National Health and Well- Being Index which studies overall well- being and is calculated on a scale of (在……范围内)0 to 100. The survey was carried out from May 30th to June 6th, 2023 and was based on the answers from 4,556 Americans. It covered social well- being, physical well- being, community well- being and more. People who said they didn't say hello to anyone in their neighborhood scored a 51.5. People who greeted six neighbors had a score of 64.1.

 You might think that saying hello to neighbors is only about social well- being, but that actually isn't the case. In fact, regular(经常的) greetings also improve a person's physical well- being and community well-being.      ▲      You will be more likely to speak to people if you think your community is safe. Your physical well- being can improve if you are getting out and walking around your neighborhood.

" We don't require that you know the person well; just stop and talk to him," said Dan Witters, the survey's director." But the more people to whom you say hello, the greater the probability is that you' re actually going to start a conversation with them."

 While this is just a survey for now, saying hello on a regular basis is a good way to improve your own well- being.
