Tofight for the conservation of forest ecosystem, several ecologists including Daniel Janzen convinced Del Oro,
an orange juice producer, to donate part of their forestland to a national park. In return, Del Oro was allowed to
throw large amounts of waste in the form of orangepeels(皮) on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park
at no cost. Dealing with tons of leftover peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them poured into a
landfill, so the proposal was very attractive.
But a year later, another juice company challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was
"polluting a national park". They ended up winning, and the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell
through.
Then in 2013, while discussing possible research avenues（途径，手段）with Timothy Treuer, Daniel Janzen
mentioned the orange story. Feeling interested, Treuer decided to stop by that piece of land that had been
covered with fruit waste 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him.
"While I would walk over exposed rock and dead grass in the nearby fields, I'd have to climb through
undergrowth and cut paths through walls ofvines(藤) in the orange peel site itself," said Timothy Treuer.
Treuer and his team spent months picking upsamples(样品), analyzing and comparing them. They found
great differences between the areas covered with orange peels and those that were not. The area withorange
waste had richer soil.
The effect that the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar
withcomposting(施肥), but what is really shocking is that a judge actually thought the waste of orange "mined" a
national parkand stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuer's study has received worldwide
attention, this type of "ruining" is being seriously considered as a way of bringing forests back to life.
4. What did Del Oro usually do with orange peels?
A. Add them to fuel. B. Feed them to animals.
C. Burn or bury them. D. Make them into cakes.
5. What can we know about the deal between Del Oro and the national park?
A. It lasted 15 years. B. It was signed by Treuer.
C. It was made in about 1998. D. It was broken by Del Oro. 6. What was Treuer's finding?
A. Orange peels contain much fibre. B. Orange peels can make soil richer.
C. Orange peels rot away in a short time. D. Orange waste ruined the national park.
7. What is the author's attitude toward the judge mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Admirable.

As an old saying inChinagoes, “The days of the Sanjiu periodare the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period” , which is in
Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至).
There are many different customs related to Minor Cold inChina.

DuringMinor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather.
Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too
much spicy food may cause health problems.
