Hardly any of us have experienced real violence, but, over the last few years,
attacks on innocent people have increased. Each of us has some ability to defend
ourselves, and by learning a form of self-defence, we are not only increasing that
ability, but also doing something to build our own sense of respect. Karate will show
you a lot of simple and effective techniques to protect yourself, giving you increase
self-confidence.
Far too many people think martial arts(武术) are about violence. Martial arts
training is based on a lot of respect, self-discipline, self-control and non-violence.
We learn basic etiquette(礼节), courtesy(礼貌) and tolerance. Good manners and
consideration for others are expected at all times.
Karate is the practice of blocking and striking techniques for the purpose of
self-defence, health and self-development. Karate exercises the entire body.
Techniques are practised on both sides of the body, therefore muscle imbalances do
not occur and the strength, coordination, flexibility and agility of both sides of the

body are improved. Regular training in Karate improves the body’s physical
endurance and flexibility. It also helps concentration and produces the mental calm
and assurance that come from knowing we can defend ourselves.

requires ongoing commitment and hard work. Some of you will give up, but a few
of you will get your black belt.

Once, during my summer holidays, my father was sick, but he worked in the
rice field just the same, because there was so much to do. As I looked at his thin
figure, crawling(缓慢移动) ahead of me, I thought of my own depressing future. I
was tied to the land by job after backbreaking job, unlike other boys who had
freedom to pursue happiness. Why were there people in the world who would never
know what it was like to toil(苦干), and others, like me, who had been toiling ever
since they were small boys, season after season, year after year? Why were some
people sitting before electric fans or in air-conditioned rooms, while I was out of
breath and sweating under the blazing sun? Why was there mud and more mud in
front of me?
Only we farmers were willing to crawl, to assume the lowliest of positions in
order to have a better harvest. Even a horse, when working for man, stands tall. I
was suddenly consumed with great pity and great respect for poor farmers, and the
focus of my attention began to extend beyond myself and my family. This was an
important turning point in my life.
While resting beside a field one day, my brothers and I resolved to pursue useful
knowledge and technology to help ourselves and other farmers improve our
circumstances, and lighten our burden of labour. This resolve gave me strength so
that when I went to university, and later to the US on a scholarship, my spirit rose
above personal hardships. Crawling in the mud had taught me to take bleeding and
sweating as part of my life, and not to be afraid in the face of difficulties. But what
was more important was that I had learned the meaning of “You reap what you
sow”.
Mother used to say, “Judge a man not by his face, but by his fields.” I appreciate
more and more the meaning of these words. The land is dependable, as long as you
are willing to toil on it. When the wind blew and the green rice plants moved like

waves in a sea, stunningly beautiful, a deep sense of satisfaction swelled up(充满)
in me.
I laboured hard in the simple, isolated countryside of my home, and I am proud
of this. Although later I went into academic research, I shall always remember what
working in the rice fields taught me: plant your feet firmly on the ground, work hard
and you will be rewarded.

C
A food-tech startup in New York has developed technology to preserve food for
months without a fridge and artificial preservatives(人工 防腐 剂 ). To cut down
millions of tons of food waste worldwide, it also may transform agriculture in
developing countries where refrigerated shipping containers and trains are rare or
expensive.
Have you ever wondered why we don’t devote more farmland to growing fruits
and vegetables since they’re much more nutritious? The reason is food’s spoilage
(变质). Farther Farms’ unique CO2 pasteurization(巴氏杀菌法) technology is a
simple fix that can spin out packaged foods’ shelf life at room temperature. Their
first choice was French fries which would normally need to be frozen to survive
trips between production facilities and supermarkets. They can’t be pasteurized like
other goods. Instead, Farther Farms puts them into special packaging and fills it with
specially made CO2, preventing damage from bacteria.
Growing up in India in a farming family, co-founder Vipul Saran developed
Farther Farms as a student at Cornell University. His familiarity with the costs and
the trouble of moving agricultural products from farms into towns and cities before
they spoiled influenced his development of the technology.
“The whole goal is, basically, how we can look into new food processing
technologies that can allow us to create value-added food products from these easily
spoilt food products, which avoids the need and the dependency on freezing as much
as possible,” Saran said.
Rather than packaging apples or potatoes in a plastic bag, the Farther Farms
tech is ideal for value-added food products, not only because they require packaging
of some kind, but also because they earn farmers more money. Rather than needing
to transport them by refrigerated boxcar or shipping container, Farther Farms would

{#{QQABaQSQggCoAAIAABhCEQWaCkGQkACCCKoGxFAAoAAAQRFABAA=}#}
ship them at any temperature, thus allowing food producers of all kinds to reach the
maximal number of markets.
46. What can be learned about the new technology?
A. It improves food safety standards.
B. It’s used for reducing food waste.
C. It strengthens the cold chain in India.
D. It simplifies the food production process.
47. What does the underlined phrase “spin out” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Check. B. Limit. C. Lengthen. D. Damage.
48. How does the new technology work?
A. By filling food packaging with special CO2.
B. By recycling special packaging materials.
C. By freezing the food as early as possible.
D. By heating the food before packaging.
49. What inspired Saran to develop the technology?
A. Food shortages in his hometown.
B. The poor living conditions in India.
C. His family’s struggling farming experiences.
D. His observation of the difficulty of food transportation.
50. What’s the impact of this new technology on farmers?
A. It reduces the storm damage to their crops.
B. It expands the market and increases their income.
C. It offers them more farmland available for food production.
D. It makes them gain more professional agricultural knowledge.
