The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.
The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.
Better for the Environment
Sustainability(持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.
Taste and Nutritional Content
Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.
Community and Home Values
When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.
1.According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ________.
A. you are making money from your community
B. you will contribute to protecting the environment
C. you will become much healthier and prettier
D. you can see how fruits and vegetables grow
2.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ________.
A. the cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers
B. global warming is the most serious problem now
C. North American food is rich in various kinds of materials
D. most people support buying legally
3.Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because ________.
A. they are sent to the market at a high speed
B. they aren’t polluted by chemical fertilizers
C. they can be harvested at any time
D. they are picked when they are fully grown
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.
B. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.
C. The benefits of buying locally.
D. The importance of protecting the environment.

We were told for years that positive thinking was the key to achieving our goals. Now more and more evidence suggests exactly the opposite: that spending a lot of time thinking about your hopes and dreams may make you less likely to put in the work required to actually achieve those dreams. So if positivity is out, what should we replace it with?
New York University psychologist Gabriele Oettingen talked about a four-step plan she’s come up with from her years of research. Oettigen explained the plan as WOOP.
Wish: First, define your goal. “Think about a wish that is dear to you,” Oettingen said. “What is it you really want? This could be running a marathon or losing a certain amount of weight.” Your wish doesn’t have to be huge; it just has to be real, something you truly want.
Outcome: Keeping your goal in mind, ask yourself: If this wish of mine is realized, what is the best possible outcome? “Very often, it is a feeling,” Oettingen said, “You define that outcome, and you imagine that outcome.”
Obstacles (障碍): After you’re let yourself daydream for a little while about what it will feel like when your goal is accomplished, bring your mind back down to reality. “Then you sat, ‘What is it in me that holds me back from experiencing that wish, that outcome?’” Oettinger said. “Very often it’s an emotion, it’s those same old habits. And you imagine that obstacle.”
Plan: “Once you’re imagined that obstacle,” Oettingen said, “you’ll understand what you need to do to overcome it.” If this obstacle pops up, then you’ll do something to get over it and keep going after your goal.
Oettingen’s research has shown that this method has helped people eat more fruits and vegetables; it’s also helped students achieve better grades in school, and it has even helped people act less insecure in their romantic relationships.
1.In the traditional opinion, what is the key to achieving our goals?
A. Positive thinking. B. Enough evidence.
C. Opposite suggestions. D. Replacement of positivity.
2.The word “reality” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to the fact that ________.
A. you have imagined more than you can do
B. you are held back by some obstacles to achieve
C. you have never experienced such a wish or outcome
D. your emotion contributes to forming your same old habits
3.The examples in the last paragraph are used to ________.
A. prove WOOP’s effectiveness
B. encourage readers to be positive
C. offer more possible practical outcomes
D. attract more people to apply this method
4.The method WOOP works mainly because you ________.
A. have a strong wish B. keep a goal in mind
C. come up with a plan D. overcome an obstacle
