26、   Many cultures around the world have a grain that is not grown or even known outside its home area. Now, a staple grain native to Ethiopia, teff, is appearing on grocery shelves in America.

Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopian diet for thousands of years. Like rice and wheat, it is a cereal grass. Teff is known for its fine grain and used mainly to make flour. Teff flour is the key ingredient in injera, the large, spongy pancakes that make up a large portion of the Ethiopian diet.

Teff was introduced to the United States by a man named Wayne Carlson, who learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa in the mid-1970s. "I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hosted by teff farmers. " he said. In the late 70s, Carlson returned to the U. S. , married and settled in southwest Idaho. Then he came up with an idea to introduce teff grass to his home state. " Geologically, it is very similar to Ethiopia."

Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers, nor do they want to be. So they convinced actual farmers in Idaho to grow teff on contract for them. The Carlsons milled it themselves.

Wayne went through the Washington, D. C. telephone book and looked for the names that were Ethiopian. And that is how the business slowly grew. Over time, the Teff Company has outgrown four different mills.

Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University. He says teff production has exploded over the past decade in the U. S. He says most teff grown in the U. S. is fed to farm animals. In Idaho, however, where the Carlsons are based, Roseberg believes more of the teff production is for human food. Teff contains lots of calcium, iron, protein and fiber. Roseberg credits Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.

【1】How do the Ethiopians mainly use teff?

A.By eating the cereal grass. B.By using the flour made from it.

C.By adding the plant into injera. D.By mixing it with rice and wheat.

【2】According to Wayne, why is it possible for teff to grow well in Idaho?

A.Idaho is located close to Ethiopia.

B.Teff is easy to survive on its own.

C.Idaho has geographic features similar to Ethiopia.

D.Teff was originally introduced to Ethiopia from Idaho.

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

A.Wayne's teff did not sell well at first.

B.Wayne's teff was sold only to Ethiopians.

C.Wayne sent teff to his Ethiopian friends.

D.Wayne lost control of his Teff Company.

【4】What is Rich Roseberg's attitude to Wayne introducing teff into America?

A.Worried. B.Disapproving.

C.Favorable. D.Pessimistic.

27、   Technology can really help you with your language learning. Here are four free apps you can try!

28、   When you open your closet (壁橱), chances are that you will see some unwanted clothes lying in the corner. But instead of throwing them away, wouldn’t you rather give them a second chance to shine? Well, people around the world are doing just that.

This spring, upcycled denim (牛仔布) and sustainable (可持续的) lace are gaining popularity. They are part of the “ethical” (合乎道德的) and “sustainable” trends that have become the biggest buzzwords in fashion in recent years, the Guardian reported.

Upcycling, according to sustainability website TriplePundit, is a way to process an old item to make it just as good, or even better, than it was originally. For example, you could turn some old pajamas (睡衣) into a new summer dress.

Among upcyclable fabrics (面料), denim is one of the most comfortable and fashionable. That’s why many people like to create their own unique upcycled denim items, such as cutting a headband (头带) from a denim shirt.

Many fashion companies have also joined the trend. For example, there are upcycled denim companies that combine the spirit of vintage (复古的) denim with the principles of sustainability. “For as long as denim has been around, we have found ways to reuse it and upcycle it,” US stylist Kelly Nagel told fashion website sulky.com. “Denim is such a great fabric for so many things, and I especially love it when it has been ‘worn-in’ (磨平的). That is when denim has the most character.”

Lace is another timeless fabric that can be repurposed. According to the Guardian, it can be created from recycled fishing nets and other nylon (尼龙) waste products and used for making elegant dresses or beautiful decorations.

Indeed, fashion holds up a mirror to society. Now, the fashion industry cares not only about creating new looks, but also about its impact on the environment. “Choosing better fabrics is essential to us transforming this industry for the better,” Clara Vuletich, a Sydney-based sustainability expert, told the Guardian. “If you consciously decide to purchase clothes made using a recycled material or an exciting new fiber (纤维), such as cruelty-free leather (皮革) made in a lab, you are supporting companies creating new markets, and avoiding the negative impacts associated with conventional textiles (纺织品).”

【1】What is likely to be the most suitable title for the passage?

A.Unwanted clothes to shine B.Denim or lace ,which is getting more popularity?

C.Fashion, a mirror to society. D.Trend for recycled fashion

【2】What is the idea lying behind upcycled denim and sustainable lace?

A.Making use of advanced production techniques.

B.Making money for charity with unwanted clothes.

C.Being more friendly to the environment.

D.Changing fashion trends as quickly as possible.

【3】Why does Kelly Nagel think denim is especially suitable for upcycling?

A.It is a material that lasts a long time. B.It shows character after being worn in.

C.It matches well with many other fabrics. D.It is the cheapest fabric to upcycle.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.How fashion reflects social changes. B.How fashion benefits from social development.

C.The bright future of the fashion industry. D.Potential problems of upcycling.
