DEVELOPMENT REPORT - Bringing Color to Life With Natural Dyes

TWENTY-FIVE years ago, the Union Jack, the national flag of the United Kingdom (U.K.), was lowered at Hong Kong’s Government House, and the five-starred red flag of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) was raised. This marked the ending of British colonial rule over China’s Hong Kong, a humiliating chapter in the his-tory of the Chinese nation. As Hong Kong returned to the open arms of its motherland after 156 years of colonial rule, the Chinese government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and be-gan to govern the place as a special administrative region.Over the past 25 years, with the strong support of the mainland, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has gained sound social and eco-nomic development.Successful Practice of “One Country, Two Systems”There is no ready-made experience in implement-ing the “one country, two systems” policy. Challenges are inevitable, but how to respond to and resolve them provides a chance to demonstrate the strong vitality and resilience of the policy.By KANG KAI25 Years of Sound Development After Returning to the Motherlandhaving stood up to the challenges and seized opportunities since its return to the motherland, hong Kong has risen even stronger and become more vibrant.Over the past 25 years, the central government has fully, faithfully, and unswervingly implemented the principles of “one country, two systems,” “Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong,” and a high degree of autonomy. It has firmly safeguarded China’s sovereignty, security and development in-terests, and ensured long-term peace, stability, and prosperity in Hong Kong. The people of Hong Kong are now enjoying more extensive democratic rights and freedom under the “one country two systems” policy than they ever did previously.The election of the sixth-term chief executive of the HKSAR government has been held ahead of the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return. On May 8, candidate John Lee won the election with an over-whelming 1,416 votes, more than 99 percent of the total votes. Lee’s winning reflects Hong Kong peo-ple’s will and ushers in a new chapter for “patriots administering Hong Kong.”“I earnestly look forward to seeing Hong KongA series of activities celebrating the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland are held in Hong Kong on June 15, 2022. Celebration posters are displayed in many places along the streets of Hong Kong. This picture is taken in Tsim Sha Tsui.as a city brimming with vibrancy, as a com-munity in which everyone is happy, as a society that is highly open, as a place which embraces unity, and as a home which provides stability and safety,” Lee said when announcing his candidacy for the six-term chief executive election in April. For the vision, he set focus of future policies on three main areas. The first is to resolve various deep-seated issues based on a result-oriented approach. The second is to increase the overall competitiveness of Hong Kong. The third is to consolidate a firm foundation for Hong Kong’s development.Later in his election manifesto, Lee placed emphasis on four broad tenets of improving gover-nance capabilities to tackle pressing livelihood is-sues, boosting land and housing supply, enhancing Hong Kong’s overall competitiveness on the global stage, and building a caring, inclusive society that values youth development. Responsibilities of Patriotsin Hong KongThere is no unified model of democracy in the world. A democracy that is based on a country’s reality and could settle real problems is a good one. The new electoral system in Hong Kong is based on the constitutional order in the HKSAR formed by the Constitution and the Basic Law. Hong Kong’s political, economic, social, cultural, and historical conditions were taken into account when devising the system amid efforts to explore a path to democ-racy with Hong Kong characteristics.Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Facts amply showed that Hong Kong’s new electoral system is a good system that conforms to the prin-ciple of “one country, two systems” and is grounded in Hong Kong’s reality.The strength of the system lies in the strict imple-mentation of the principle of “patriots administer-ing Hong Kong,”which makes sure that competentdemocratic rightsThe people of hong Kong are now enjoying more extensive democratic rights and free-dom under the “one country two systems” policy than they ever did previously.patriots can be elected to govern Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC, and the power to administer the region must stay in the hands of patriots. Criteria for patriots are clear-cut and objective. They are those who sincerely safeguard national sovereignty, security, and devel-opment interests, respect and champion the funda-mental system of the country and the constitutional order of the HKSAR, and do their best to maintain Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability.In the next five years, the new HKSAR govern-ment will shoulder the grand responsibility of car-rying forward the “one country, two systems” policy faithfully and fully.Strongest Support Fromthe Central GovernmentDuring the past 25 years, Hong Kong has gone through a lot: the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the SARS epidemic in 2003, the international financial turmoil in 2008, the illegal Occupy Central move-ment in 2014, the 2019 extradition bill event, and the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic. Despite thesechallenges, Hong Kong has maintained overall stable development, which is inseparable from the strong support of the motherland.The 1997 Asian financial crisis dealt a heavy blow to economies across Asia. With the strong support of the central government, the HKSAR government waged a battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar and Heng Seng Index against speculative attacks by American billionaire investor George Soros. At the critical moment back in August 1998 when the Hong Kong financial market was on the verge of col-lapse, the central government stepped forward and took every measure possible to maintain the pros-perity and stability of Hong Kong. The timely help protected the linked exchange rate system between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar, success-fully thwarting international speculators’ attacks.In 2003, the SARS outbreak hit the mainland and Hong Kong at the same time. The central govern-ment made every effort to provide much-needed medicine and protective equipment free of charge to Hong Kong. Thanks to the solidarity and strength of the local residents in Hong Kong and assistance by the mainland, the outbreak was finally brought under control after a few months.In 2008, when Hong Kong was affected by theinternational financial crisis, the central governmentpromptly introduced 14 measures in seven areas topromote financial and economic cooperation. Thesupport boosted confidence, alleviated pressing dif-ficulties facing the people, and revitalized the econ-omy. In 2011, the central government issued 36 morepolicies to help boost Hong Kong’s development.In September 2014, when some planned the il-legal Occupy Central movement, the central govern-ment, adhering to its policy of “one country, two sys-tems” and the law, gave full support to the HKSARgovernment. This enabled the HKSAR governmentto properly settle the 79-day illegal activities, effec-tively safeguarding the interests of Hong Kong.Again in 2019, Hong Kong suffered from a seriesof turbulences in the wake of a proposal to amendthe region’s extradition law. Some foreign and over-seas forces made use of the situation and inter-fered in Hong Kong affairs. Their actions seriouslyjeopardized Hong Kong’s economic prosperity andsocial stability, posed a serious threat to nationalsecurity, and more importantly, challenged thebottom line of the “one country, two systems” grandresponsibilityin the next fiveyears, the newhKSar govern-ment will shoul-der the grandresponsibil-ity of carryingforward the“one country,two systems”policy faithfullyand fully.principle. Faced with the situation, the central gov-ernment took action in firm support of the HKSAR chief executive, the HKSAR government, and the police in cracking down on violent clashes, bring-ing violence and chaos to an end. Normal order was restored eventually.The COVID-19 epidemic that broke out in 2020 has continued till this day. This year, in particular, the HKSAR government was overwhelmed by the “double envelopment” of Delta and Omicron vari-ants. At the critical moment, the central govern-ment extended a helping hand to Hong Kong by in-troducing a series of measures, the results of which greatly boosted Hong Kong people’s confidence in fighting the epidemic.At every critical moment the HKSAR faced, the central government was there, ready to give sup-port. The experience in tackling the challenges has helped Hong Kong to gain a deeper understanding of how to fully and faithfully implement the “one country, two systems” policy and the Basic Law. Seeking Stability and ProsperityHong Kong is a sacred and inalienable part of China, and Hong Kong affairs are China’s internal af-fairs, which brooks no interference by any external forces.Against a backdrop of international landscape undergoing changes unseen in a century, Hong Kong is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities.Activities attempting to destabilize Hong Kong were rampant in recent years. Those who opposed China colluded with external hostile forces. In the name of striving for “democracy,” they were trying to split the country and subvert the government. Their real purpose was to turn Hong Kong into a forefront of Color Revolution. The acts endangered national security, and undermined Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability.These destabilizing forces sabotaged the ruleof law, social stability, the economy, and people’s livelihood in Hong Kong. Community facilities were horribly vandalized, malls and shops smashed and burned, and innocent citizens besieged and hurt. The U.K. colonialized Hong Kong for over a cen-tury, during which there was no democracy to Hong Kong people. However, the British always shunned from this period of history, and turned a blindeye to the successful practice of “one country, two systems.” They distorted facts, confused right and wrong, and made indiscreet remarks or criticisms about Hong Kong affairs.At the critical juncture in the HKSAR’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the British didn’t show respect and concern for Hong Kong citizens, but instead engaged in political manipulation. The former colonist continued releasing so-called “six-monthly reports on Hong Kong,” and used shame-less and despicable methods to slander the rule of law in Hong Kong and mislead people. Its hypocrisy and sinister intentions are self-evident.The U.S. is the biggest behind-the-scenes manip-ulator in undermining Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability. Its ultimate intention is to contain China. The Fact Sheet: U.S. Interference in Hong Kong Affairs and Support for Anti-China, Destabilizing Forces published by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs exposed its gross violation of international law and basic norms of international relations, and wanton interference in China’s internal affairs.Consisting of 102 items in five categories, the docu-A view of West Kowloon Cultural District with the Hong Kong Palace Museum in the foreground and M+ Museum on the left.ment listed the time, locations, persons, processesand methods of the U.S. interference in Hong Kongaffairs.A deep look into the official website of the U.S.-funded National Endowment for Democracy (NED)showed that it has been funding opposition organi-zations and media outlets in Hong Kong since 1994,and manipulated them to carry out various dem-onstrations and protests. Since 2003, the NED hadorganized, planned, directed and channeled fundsbehind the scenes for illegal activities in Hong Kong,such as the Occupy Central movement and violentdemonstrations against the extradition bill.China’s State Council Information Office issuedthe white paper Hong Kong: Democratic Progress under the Framework of One Country, Two Systems on December 20, 2021. The white paper presenteda comprehensive review on the origin and develop-ment of democracy in the HKSAR, along with theprinciples and position of the central government.While ignoring their own countries’ poor perfor-mance on democracy, freedom, and human rights,some people from Western coun-tries repeatedly made irrespon-sible remarks about Hong Kong.The real purpose is to containChina by playing the “Hong Kongcard.” These ungrounded accusa-tions cannot shake the will of theChinese government to fully andfaithfully implement the “one country, two systems”policy. They will not stop Hong Kong from exploringa democratic path that is suitable to its conditions,recovering from chaos and realizing stability andprosperity.Any attempts to disrupt Hong Kong and curbChina’s development are doomed to fail.Progress and ProsperityReturn to the motherland brought Hong Kongnew opportunities.Benefiting from the “one country, two systems”policy, Hong Kong is presented with new opportuni-ties as the country is advancing the Belt and Road Any attempts to disruptHong Kong and curbChina’s developmentare doomed to fail.On May 19, 2022,Hong Kong’s firstmural on the themeof ethnic integrationwas unveiled at YauTsim Mong Multicul-tural Activity Centre.Initiative and building the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.An urban agglomeration consisting of Hong Kong, Macao, and nine cities in the Pearl River Delta region is formed in the Greater Bay Area.

DEVELOPMENT REPORT – July 29, 2002: Tools for DevelopmentBy Jill MossThis is the VOA Special English Development Report. Building things or making clothes can be difficult in developing countries, especially without the correct tools. However, an international humanitarian organization called CARE is trying to change this. CARE runs a special program called Tools for Development to help workers in developing countries.The Tools for Development program sells used tools and equipment at low cost to people who have small businesses. The tools are priced low enough so that poor people can buy them.Roy Megarry (Ma-GARY) started Tools for Development fifteen years ago. At thetime, he was the publisher of the Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper. MisterMegarry got the idea for the program while visiting a technical training school forboys in Lima, Peru.The Catholic priest who operated the school told Mister Megarry that the schoolneeded equipment for its training program. Mister Megarry sent a letter to thepresident of Sears Company in Canada requesting help. The company gaveequipment to the school in exchange for advertising in the newspaper. Today, Tools for Development receives free equipment and gifts from companies and organizations all over the world. Since the program began, more than two -thousand people have purchased more than six-thousand tools andequipment. They paid a total cost of one -million -two-hundred-thousand dollars. Mister Megarry says at least ten-thousand jobs have been saved or created because of the program. Money gained from the sale of the tools is used for loans, training and shipping costs.People can buy many kinds of equipment through Tools for Development. For example, there are tools for metal workers, shoemakers, pipe builders, clothing makers and people who fix vehicles. Some computers are also sold. Tools for Development is currently operating in Ecuador, Costa Rica and Jamaica. However, CARE is hoping to expand the program to other developing nations.

DEVELOPMENT REPORT – April 22, 2002: UN Report on AgingBy Jill MossThis is the VOA Special English Development Report.The number of people over age sixty is expected to increase two times during the next fifty years. A new United Nations population study says the percentage of older people in the world is rising quickly.Today, one of every ten people is over age sixty. By the middle of the next century, onein five people in the world will be sixty years old or older. That will be almost two-thousand-million people. This means there will be more older people in the world thanchildren. Experts say many developing countries do not have the social services to helpincreasing numbers of older people.Joseph Chamie (SHAM-ee) heads the U-N office on population. He says that theaverage length of time a person is expected to live increased by about twenty yearsduring the last half of the twentieth century.The current life expectancy is sixty-six years. The oldest of the old people are also living longer. Mister Chamie says that twelve percent of older people are eighty years old or older.Mister Chamie says the world’s population is getting older because death rates and birth rates have decreased. He says the reduction in these rates has been a great success. The U-N study also found that women still live longer than men in all but two countries – Pakistan and Bangladesh. For every one-hundred women in the world age sixty or over, there are only eighty-one men.The results of the study were discussed at the U-N Second World Assembly on Aging in Madrid, Spain, earlier this month. During the meeting, delegates from one-hundred-sixty countries agreed on a plan to improve the lives of old people. The measure deals with such issues as education, work, retirement guarantees, housing, health care and the rights of older women.U-N officials believe the aging of the world’s population will require a change indevelopment aid. They say future aid should meet the needs of older people. In addition,officials say that older people in developing countries usually do not enjoy retirement. Instead,they often face poor living conditions and poor health. The officials say a system other than thefamily should be established in developing counties to care for older people.This VOA Special English Development Report was written by Jill Moss.Email this article to a friendPrinter Friendly Version。

英语翻译三级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析（16）(1/1)Section ⅠEnglish Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese .第1题This month, the United Nations Development Program made water and sanitation the centerpiece of its flagship publication, the Human Development Report.Claims of a "water apartheid," where poor people pay more for water than the rich, are bound to attract attention. But what are the economics behind the problem, and how can it be fixed? In countries that have trouble delivering clean water to their people, a lack of infrastructure is often the culprit. People in areas that are not served by public utilities have to rely on costlier ways of getting water, such as itinerant water trucks and treks to wells. Paradoxically, as the water sources get costlier, the water itself tends to be more dangerous. Water piped by utilities—to the rich and the poor alike—is usually cleaner than water trucked in or collected from an outdoor tank.The problem exists not only in rural areas but even in big cities, said Hakan Bjorkman, program director of the UN agency in Thailand. Further, subsidies made to local water systems often end up benefiting people other than the poor, he added.The agency proposes a three-step solution. First, make access to 20 liters, or 5 gallons, of clean water a day a human right. Next, make local governments accountable for delivering this service. Last, invest in infrastructure to link people to water mains. The report says governments, especially in developing countries, should spend at least 1 percent of gross domestic product on water and sanitation. It also recommends that foreign aid be more directed toward these problems. Clearly, this approach relies heavily on government intervention, something Bjorkman readily acknowledged. But there are some market-based approaches as well.By offering cut-rate connections to poor people to the water mainline, the private water utility in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, has steadily increased access to clean water, according to the agency´s report. A subsidy may not even be necessary, despite the agency´s proposals, if a country can harness the economic benefits of providing clean water.People who receive clean water are much less likely to die from water-borne diseases—a common malady in the developing world—and much more likely to enjoy long, productive, taxpaying lives that can benefit their host countries. So if a government is trying to raise financing to invest in new infrastructure, it might find receptive ears in private credit markets—as long as it can harness the return. Similarly, private companies may calculate that it is worth bringing clean water to an area if its residents are willing to pay back the investment over many years.In the meantime, some local solutions are being found. In Thailand, Bjorkman said, some small communities are taking challenges like water access upon themselves. "People organize themselves in groups to leverage what little resources they have to help their communities," he said. "That´s especially true out in the rural areas. They invest their money in revolving funds and saving schemes, and they invest themselves to improve their villages." It is not always easy to take these solutions and replicate them in other countries, though, Assembling a broad menu of different approaches can be the first step in finding the right solution for a given region or country.______________下一题(1/1)Section ⅡChinese-English TranslationTranslate the following passage into English .第2题即使遇到丰收年景，对中国来说，要用世界7%的耕地养活全球1/5的人口仍是一项艰巨的任务。

At the same time, a severe famine was destroying his village, claiming people’s lives and leaving desperation in its wake.This was a situation to break the strongest of minds but William Kamkwamba did not give up. Young as he was, he knew that education was where his future lay. He found hope in the library and feasted on the knowledge that he harvested from its books. It was there that he came across a science textbook entitled Using Energy. He learned that he could generate electricity using wind. The youngster realized that, if mastered, this power could help his village in exceptional ways.Armed with determination and an iron will, the teenager set out to build a windmill out of random materials from a scrapyard (垃圾场). Though his outside world was collapsing to dust, the youngster did not hesitate about his purpose. He defended himself from all doubt and criticism. He worked tirelessly until his dream of bringing electricity to his village became reality. Soon, he was caught in the center of media attention that took him to new places that he would never have stepped on without his invention.In his village, the dust has not settled yet and the winds of change continue to blow across the land. Windmills pump water to irrigate crops, sweeping away another period of hunger. William’s former primary school boasts new and stronger buildings, thanks to the help of well-wishers and the villagers’ united efforts.What seemed like a hopeless situation has been turned into an inspirational story that motivates each and every one of us, persuading us that no misfortune is set in stone. William refused to be a school drop-out forever. He sought solutions for his problems and continued fighting even when the going got tough. He was able to rise above poverty to become a graduate from one of America’s best universities, Dartmouth College.4．What inspired William to bring electricity to his village?A．His realization of the impact of electricity.B．His awareness of the role of education.C．The science textbook entitled Using Energy.D．The severe famine destroying hisvillage.5．What can we learn from paragraph 3?A．All people didn’t support William’s dream at first.B．The public had little interest in William’s invention.C．The invention enabled William to make a big fortune.D．The windmill is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.6．What does the underlined words “set in stone”in the last paragraph mean?A．Visible.B．Avoidable.C．Unchangeable.D．Unpredictable. 7．What message does the author want to convey in this story?A．Knowledge feasts mind and education promises wealth.B．Necessity inspires invention and hardship makes heroes.C．Criticism promotes success and doubt facilitates creation.D．Adversity motivates inspiration and support pushes solutions.Lord Norman Foster, renowned as one of the world’s foremost architects, has devoted decades to redefining the concept of tall buildings. “What we’ve done is create a sense of identify drawn from real needs,” Foster said. “It’s not a fashionable idea, but generated from the realities we were in.” His masterpiece includes iconic structures such as the HSBC building in Hong Kong.Now, he’s set his sights on Qatar.Currently nearing completion and set to reach a height of 301 meters, Foster’s Lusail Towers are ready to claim the title of Qatar’s tallest buildings. Lusail Towers are intended to serve as a center for Qatar’s financial institutions, with four distinctive blocks, two standing at 70 storiesand two at 50 stories.But the construction itself wasn’t all plain sailing. To address the unique challenges presented by Qatar’s hot climate, Foster’s team had to depart from the materials commonly used in skyscrapers in cooler countries — part of what Foster called a decades-long quest to “reinvent the tall building.” The design combines advanced shading with ventilation (通风), while the towers’ surfaces are coated with “marine-grade”aluminum (铝) that wraps around the buildings, protecting the glass from strong sunlight while maintaining the views and still letting in natural light. Central to the project are special shading fins (鳍), which not only optimize views and natural lighting for occupants but reduce solar radiation by 70% compared to traditional all-glass towers.While the towers are ready to become a recognizable landmark for Lusail, Foster believes that a city’s skyline reflects what lies beneath the surface. It was crucial to integrate the towers into a “low-scale master plan.” They are strategically positioned on top of a subway line and at the end of a commercial avenue linking the waterfront (滨水区) to the nearby football stadium. According to Foster, the ground features of the plaza will play a significant role in the objective of transforming the area into a lively public space for the future.8．According to Foster’s concept, what should tall buildings be like?A．Renowned. B．Identical.C．Fashionable D．Practical.9．What can we learn about the Lusail Towers?A．They will function as a global financial center. B．They are expected to be Qartar’s tallest building.C．They are Foster’s most renowned iconic masterpiece. D．They have four blocks with the same style and height.10．What was the solution to the challenges caused by Qatar’s hot climate?A．Coating the tower with an unconventional material.B．Reducing the views and natural lighting with shading fins.C．Replacing the glass with “marine-grade” aluminum.D．Protecting the glass from natural light and solar radiation.11．What’s the goal of “low-scale master plan”?A．To link the waterfront to the football stadium. B．To create a remarkable plaza for the citizens.C．To offer a dynamic public space for the future. D．To connect a subway and acommercial avenue.Robots have long been drawing inspiration from animals, with the creation of robot dogs or snake-shaped robots. And yet, the field of robotics is far less enthusiastic about the other kind of living things — plants. Barbara Mazzolai, an Italian roboticist owes this to a misconception about plant behavior: that they cannot move or think. “It’s not true at all,” she says. To challenge this view, Dr Mazzolai and her team recently launched a machine called “FiloBot”, a robot based on a climbing species.To survive, a climbing plant must switch between several different behaviors. In forest environments, it must first grow out of the soil and travel along the ground in search of a support to hold onto, such as a nearby tree. Once a support is located, though, the plant fixes itself around the object and then growing towards the light. To choose the best angle to grow upwards, a climbing plant uses its shoots (芽) to receive information about light and gravity.FiloBot has sensors on its main shoot. It can 3D-print its body with plastic and grow at a controllable rate. These functions, researchers found, enabled FiloBot to cross gaps, and find things to attach to. The lack of heavy on-board computing device means that it is light and requires minimal care, while its slow pace means that it doesn’t disturb things around it, making it possible to move through a complex, unseen environment, or monitoring disaster sites.For now, FiloBot is still being tested. Its tendrils (卷须) have not left the laboratory. Still, it has already been employed in deconstructing plant behaviour. For example, it was long assumed that climbing plants find their supports by growing towards shade, though the exact mechanism was unclear. FiloBot could imitate this behaviour by detecting far-red light, which is typical of shaded areas, providing clues to how plants do it.Dr Mazzolai hopes that such projects will inspire other roboticists to take their cues from plants and develop completely new technologies.12．What does the misconception about plants in the field of robotics focus on?A．Their shapes.B．Their diversity.C．Their body language.D．Their capabilities.13．What is an advantage of FiloBot?A．It moves quickly.B．It has a solid metal body.C．It adapts to different environment.D．It is attached to huge computers. 14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The limitations of FiloBot.B．The current use of FiloBot.C．The components of FiloBot.D．The unique feature of FiloBot’s design. 15．Which of the following is a suitable title for this text?A．A Role Model for Robotics ResearchB．A Glimpse into the World of RoboticsC．A Plant-Inspired Innovation in RoboticsD．A Misunderstanding of the Plant KingdomNowadays, the term “superfood” has become the nutritional buzzword. Simply put, these superfoods are those that provide large amount of nutrients through minimal calories.The term “superfood” may have taken the modern food scene by storm. 16 Although only popular in recent years, the concept of certain foods with special nutritional qualities has been around for a long time. The nickname “superfood” gained widespread popularity in the early 2000s as health enthusiasts and the food industry sought to identify and market foods with special health benefits. Today, it is a trend in diet.In an age when we share all kinds of superfoods on social media, ignoring the phenomenon is impossible. 17 It’s easy to understand. These nutritional superheroes offer a perfect combination of substance and style, tailored for the digital generation. Their lively colours, exotic origins and impressive nutrient profiles make them candidates for the next viral food trend.18 They offer a lifestyle that reflects the global shift towards a more health­conscious society. As the world wrestles with an increasing burden of diseases and the fast pace of modern life, people are seeking dietary solutions from superfoods. 19 They are rich in vitamins and minerals that can strengthen your immune system, avoid chronic diseases, and improve your overall well­being. Another remarkable benefit is their potential to promote heart health, helping you build a strong heart. Don’t forget their role in skin regeneration. Theantioxidants (抗氧化物) can provide a natural glow, reduce skin ageing and fight against skin conditions.20 Superfoods, while nutritionally dense, should be part of a comprehensive diet rather than the only guarantee of our health.A．What is driving the trend?B．What are nutritional superheroes?C．They bring appearances to the table as well.D．Superfoods promise more than just a meal.E．No single food can cure all diseases.F．They seem tailor­made to deal with these concerns.G．However, its roots can be traced back to early 20th­century nutrition literature.二、完形填空Adam Wolfers believes that his son’s autism (自闭症) has a positive impact on his hobby of photography. 10-­year­-old Morgan has always possessed a 21 eye for capturing the world around him through his camera.
