26、 The Impossible Burger is a burger that tastes exactly like beef, but it was made using vegetables and science. There are many kinds of “veggie burgers” for vegetarians (素食者),but this one is made for meat lovers. The company that makes this burger, Impossible Foods,wants to change the food that people eat to reduce climate change.
Scientist Celeste works on the flavor (风味) and texture (纹理) of the burger. She looks for the key points of beef its flavor, smell and look. Then those points are copied using plant based ingredients (成分),which make the burger look and taste like blood and give it a meaty texture.
The Impossible Burger has the same nutrition as beef, without the unhealthy parts. In fact, taste, nutrition and reducing climate change were all equally important when creating the burger.
Cows are actually terrible for the environment. They need lots of land and water, and they create greenhouse gases. However, an Impossible Burger uses 95% less land, 75% less water, and creates 85-87% less greenhouse gases than a beef burger.
That's why this burger was made for meat lovers. The goal is for them to eat less meat in order to protect environment. At the same time they can still eat delicious burgers that taste like real meat.

27、 Kiwis are unique in a lot of interesting ways. They have many characteristics that are not found in any other bird.
It ia assumed that the kiwi's ancestor was able to fly and reached New Zealand. Once on the island, it lost its ability to fly and eventually became the kiwi known today. Kiwis have feathers that look like hair and very strong and muscular legs. They rule the ground instead of the air. They can smell very well, Kiwis are quite shy and usually only come out at night. Kiwi can live a long time, between 25 and 50 years.
A female carries a huge egg for its body size. The kiwi is about the same size as a chicken but its egg is actually six times as large as a chicken’s egg. The reason for this is that the kiwi doesn’t have to fly so there aren't any limits on its weight. The female has to eat three times as much as usual to help the egg develop. Right before the egg is laid she can't eat anything because the egg presses against her stomach, leaving no room for food.
All kiwi species are endangered. On average, twenty-seven die each week. They have been affected most by deforestation and invasive mammals. Before humans came to New Zealand, the only mammals on the island were bats and seals.The kiwi never had to worry about predators before, but now since it cannot fly, and lays its eggs on the ground, it is pretty defenseless against invasive mammals such as rats and stoats. Stoats kill a lot of the chicks, while dogs kill a lot of adult birds, usually by accident, because they are quite delicate (易碎的).
【1】Which is kiwi’s unique characteristic?
A.They can’t fly with no wings.
B.They can live more than 50 years,
C.They rule the air instead of the ground.
D.They seldom or never come out in the daytime.
【2】Why does a female kiwi carry a huge egg?
A.It eats three times as much as usual.
B.I focuses too much on developing its egg.
C.Body weight will grow without limit for a flightless bird.
D.The egg presses against her stomach.
【3】Which kind of mammal does no harm to kiwis?
A.Bats. B.Rats.
C.Stoats. D.Dogs.
【4】Which is a suitable tile for the passage?
A.Endangered kiwi species B.Kiwis — unique birds
C.Get close to the bird world D.Why can’t kiwis fly?

29、 In times of crisis (危机), people can be truly amazing. Age, wealth, race, religion, politics and all the other things that make us who we are as individuals seem to matter a little less, and the fact that we are all humans in this world together comes to matter more.
Seni Felic owns a restaurant in San Francisco called Bistro SF Grill, and he is feeling optimistic despite the crisis caused by COVID-19 “We’re going to pool our resources and people will pull together, and it will have a strong effect on solving any problems,” he told Reader’s Digest. With this in mind, he decided to offer nonprofit lunches and dinners in his restaurant.
“We are inviting all to stop by Bistro SF Grill to take a lunch or dinner box with food prepared in advance. The price is only $5.50 and it covers our expenses. We’d like to give for free, but we can’t afford it. Our idea was: Let’s try to help.” he said.
Despite San Francisco’s “shelter-in-place” order, Felic said they still plan to offer meals. The move deals with three problems in the community: offering various high-quality food to people who may not be able to cook or who can’t afford Whole Foods prices; helping the business continue operating during the crisis; and paying some of the hourly workers who make the food so that they can earn enough money to get through the hard times.
He believes that working together and helping others will be the key to helping all to get through this. “This problem will be controlled, and I just feel optimistic,” he added. “When people come together and cooperate, I think we can overcome almost anything.”
【1】What made Seni Felic optimistic during the time of COVID-19?
