36、of the sale of bottled water from japan. the water, it angrily argues an public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles" before it reaches western customers. "transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the uk."

37、 it is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying prawns(对虾) from indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from sooth africa (5,900 food miles). counting the number of miles traveled by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage clone by an i

38、ndustry. most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy-efficient (高能效的). it should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers' market does not necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hund

39、reds of miles by sea. besides, the idea of "food miles" ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. it is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in britain rather than those grown in ghana; the difference is that the british ones will have been raised in heate

40、d greenhouses and the ghanaian ones in the open sun.what the idea of "food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out third world countries from first world food markets. the number of miles traveled by our food should, as i see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global

44、ent may cost a lot of money71. from the passage we know that the author is most probably._ a. a supporter of free global trade b. a member of the food commission c. a supporter of first world food markets d. a member of an energy development groupesilence is unnatural to man. he begins life with a c

45、ry and ends it in stillness. in between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he feats silence more than anything else. even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. if he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards

46、 himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人). he knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑

47、人像).the aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. there are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). but at a dinner party one would rath
