2.Sometimes while sitting doing nothing,our minds recall events from the past that make us all tingly inside.I had one of those moments yesterday.I believe this was triggered(引起)by the oldie The Impossible Dream that was playing on the radio yesterday afternoon!
In 1971,returning from our regular Friday night pregame meeting,I had no sooner walked in the door of our three-room apartment hack than the phone rang.It was the township police.They inquired if I was the football coach.I answered yes and asked if there was a problem.He said our football team had climbed the fence of the township football field and were sitting somewhere around the 50-yard line quietly.It was really not a problem.However,he thought I would like to know.I called my assistants,and made our way to the field.
We met the police at the locked gate.The field was dark and silent.Then,suddenly,we heard voices singing-together and on key一the team theme song,The Impossible Dream.Silently,we listened and became overwhelmed(壓倒)with emotion.Even the policemen had tears rolling down their cheeks.When the team had finished,they walked slowly to the now-opened gate of the field and were shocked to see us waiting there.Of course,our first words were, "What is going on?"
Mike Bernert,the team captain,replied, "Well,coach,you told us to visualize our performance in our mind just before the night of the game.So we came and visualized the upcoming game while sitting on the 50-yard line.Afterward,we would sing The Impossible Dream. "

3.Like producers of wine from France's Champagne area,Brazil's chocolate industry is using geographical indication,or GI labels with good results.These labels show where the cocoa comes from and its quality.The special labels can lead to higher prices on the market.
Henrique Almeida is the 63-year-old owner of a farm in Coaraci,in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia.He is pleased with the "South Bahia" geographical indication for his cocoa. "The production of fine cocoa and the creation of the geographical indication label make it possible to have a profitable business and pull our region upwards," Almeida said.
For many years,farmers in Bahia had produced common cocoa,used widely in the chocolate industry.But in 1989,an outbreak of "witches' broom" disease sharply reduced the productivity of Bahia's cocoa trees.These trees make up to 86 percent of Brazil's national crop.At the time,Almeida,like other producers in southern Bahia,chose to improve the quality of his crop in order to be able to continue growing.
"When I bought the farm,standard cocoa prices were low,and cocoa farmers were unmotivated(無動機的),while the chocolate market was doing well," he told the French news agency AFP. "I started growing fine cocoa to make my own chocolate and add value to my product."
The label is the result of 10 years of work by Almeida and other cocoa producers,as well as cooperatives and researchers.Together,they created the South Bahia Cocoa Association to define (定義) production rules.The National Institute of Industrial Property registered the GI 6 years after the first registered GI.
The "South Bahia" label is the second GI given to Brazilian cocoa.The Linhares region in the state of Espirito Santo was the first GI to be registered in 2012.Tome-Acu in the northeastern state of Para became
the third in 2019.
(1)What might be a result of witches' broom in 1989?
A.Many cocoa trees in Brazil died.
B.Cocoa became quite expensive.
C.Farmers started to grow fine cocoa.
D.Chocolate industry had to use common cocoa.
(2)When was the "South Bahia" labeled?
A.In 2012.
B.In 2014.
C.In 2016.
D.In 2018.
(3)What might happen to Brazilian cocoa in the future?
A.A national cocoa association may appear quickly.
B.Common cocoa may disappear soon.
C.Cocoa farmers may apply for more GI labels.
D.Cocoa prices will be higher and higher.
(4)What's the main idea of the text?
A.Brazil's cocoa industry benefits from GI labels.
B.Brazil's cocoa farmers are learning to make French wine.
C.GI labels are making higher profits for Brazil's cocoa farmers.
D.Better Brazil's cocoa trees will bring finer Brazil's cocoa.組卷:12引用:1難度:0.4
