When I first moved to Melbourne, my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. One day, I decided to go to Royal Melbourne Hospital for a medical exam because I was worried that maybe I had got a serious illness.

Not having a car, I had to get to the hospital by bus. However, I mistakenly got on a bus that was going in the opposite(相反的) direction. Realizing that, I got off the bus quickly. I stood on the street and didn’t know what to do. I looked into the eyes of a woman who was walking past me. Surprisingly, instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was OK. I started to explain my situation to her, and tears started running down my face. The woman pointed to a bus stop across the street and told me that a bus would be there soon and it would take me to the hospital. Then she left.

When I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, a car stopped beside me. It was the woman. She came back and offered to drive me to the hospital.

Such unexpected kindness from a stranger was a lovely gift for me. As I got out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled, said some nice words and told me to think positively, for all things were possible.

1.The underlined word “that” refers to the fact that ________．

A. the writer had no car

B. the writer was getting late

C. the writer got on the wrong bus

D. the writer lived far from the hospital

2.The woman gave the writer a ride ________ she told him the way to the hospital.

A. before B. after

C. during D. as soon as

3.What might the woman say to the writer when they were at the hospital?

A. Work hard and you will get what you want.

B. You did a wonderful job. Thank you!

C. Don’t worry. Everything will be OK.

D. Have a good time in Melbourne!

Nowadays, the food that you buy comes from many different countries. Have a look in your fridge and fruit bowl, and check the origins (來源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer (消費(fèi)者). Why is this, and what are the effects (影響) of these long distances?

Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didn’t have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. Now, because of modern technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.

Some countries have to import (進(jìn)口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, get 85% of its food from other countries.

I believe these miles are worrying for some reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, trucks and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global (全球的) warming. Besides, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty. Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journeys. For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer. Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces (makes sth. less) the amount of global pollution. We need to buy more local food.

提示詞：distance距離； climates氣候； petrol汽油

3.Some countries, like the United Arab Emirates, have to import most of their food because

A. long distances B. difficult climates

4.The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ________.

C. travel long distances D. use imported food

5.This passage is mainly about ________.

A. how local food travels from field to plate
