课时达标(十六)|UNIT 2 MORALS AND VIRTUES
Ⅰ.阅读理解
In the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, hundreds of journalists were holding lights, cameras and voice recorders as they tried to find strategic positions at group interviews.
Each speaker was allowed only a short time.Everyone laughed because Professor Zhu Youyong carried along a big potato during his two minutes.
“Farmers in China's poor areas can rely on agricultural science to strive for a well-off life.” said the 63-year-old plant-disease expert.
Professor Zhu is nicknamed “potato scholar”.Born into a family of farmers in Yunnan, Zhu said he has an attachment to the land.Since 2016, Zhu's team has promoted agricultural science in Lancang, Yunnan Province.
Zhu said farmers in the area only planted rice once a year.After the harvest, the rice fields stayed unused for the entire winter.In 2016, his team launched a pilot program, which was used to test the idea of growing a late-season potato crop.
Success soon arrived, with about 3.1 tonnes of potatoes harvested in a field covering just 0.07 hectare, which brought income to farmers of about 9,000 yuan.Then in 2017, Zhu expanded cultivation(栽培) in several villages in the county, benefiting more than 1,000 families.
“We have set a goal of helping every poor farmer in the county to earn 10,000 yuan out of 0.07 hectare of farmland cultivated each winter, so as to lift farmers out of poverty(贫困),” Zhu said.
“Ultimately, I am a farmer.Going back to the fields and seeing how my research changed the lives of farmers in China is the most important thing to me,” he said.

For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge(粥) or steamed buns(馒头).Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds.But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast.For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.
To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customers.One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019.Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.
According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Co.Ltd., the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee.“The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast.Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious.” said Shen.
Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend.Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options.“Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition.If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history.” Shen said.

3.答案 families
