10、if I didnt acknowledge my mothers birthday, likely no one would. On her birthday, I decided to bake her some cookies, take them to her house and leave them with a little note for her. But what to write about? My mother and I had not always been close. Pouring out words of love seemed insincere, but
11、there were plenty of things I did appreciate, so I wrote a letter expressing my appreciation for what she had taught me. She taught me to live within our means and not to go into debt. She taught me the color of someones skin was irrelevant. She taught me helping others in need was its own reward. S
12、he taught me to value the elderly. She taught me how to see the shapes in the clouds. She taught me to appreciate the way the air smelled after a rain.Having finished the letter, I sent the cookies and the handwritten letter to my mother.

13、erful birthday present. Two years later, she suffered a fatal heart attack. While cleaning out her house, I came across a photocopy of the birthday letter I had written to her in the drawer of the bedside table in the guest room. And then room after room, drawer after drawer revealed more photocopie
14、s of the same letter. There was one in the kitchen drawer and one taped to the inside of the kitchen cabinet. I also found one in a drawer in both bathrooms, another in the living room and two more in her bedroom. Finally, I opened the drawer beside her bed, where I found an old handkerchief and as

There have been many examples, wherein rock climbers are
19、accused of going into natural reserves and treating the animals, plants and rocks there badly. However, with the changing times, rock climbers are conscious and carry out minimal climbing. Rock climbers hammer bolts(螺栓) on climbing routes and in the process damage the nature of rocks. In addition, c
20、limbing activities also have an effect on the animals and plants situated near the climbing area. The plants growing near the base of rocks are trampled(踩踏)，and the animals living in the climbing area are forced out of their places, whenever humans are around. For example, during the summer climbing
21、 season, pregnant females of an endangered species of snake live in open areas like roadsides, exposed walls or rocks, where there is less canopy closure(树冠郁闭) compared to areas occupied by non-pregnant females and males. According to climbers, these open areas are very suitable for climbing during
22、summer. Many rock climbers have understood the significance of wildlife plant and animal preservation and related issues, and therefore take measures to reduce effects on climbing areas. Considering the effect of climbing activities on natural reserves, various national parks and wildlife agencies h
23、ave put forth certain regulations on climbers. There are seasonal closures of climbing areas to avoid illegal entrance of uninformed rock climbers. Climbers are always expected to support wilderness preservation. Many environmental organizations have been formed to protect the environment and in the

Encourage climbers to choose open areas.CThe food delivery industry now is a hotly competitive business, attracting the worlds biggest moneybags such as Amazon, Alibaba and Soft-Ban
27、k. Balancing the needs of diners, cooks and couriers(快递员) is complicated. Most new companies lose money. Yet they have received more than $30 billion from venture capitalists(投资家) in the past five years. And they are likely to get more. The food-delivery business can be divided into two camps: mostl
28、y profitable veterans (老牌公司) and loss-making newcomers. The veterans, founded at the start of the century, are led by publicly traded Grubhub in America, Just Eat and Takeaway in Europe. They account for the largest share of the market, offering customers online access to restaurants. Their relative
29、ly simple business model, in which they take a cut of the bill from the restaurants, has enabled Grubhub and Just Eat to turn a profit for years. Takeaway makes money in its home market of the Netherlands. The newbies, born more recently, have turned a once-tidy business into a food fight. For most
30、of them, delivery is their core business, so they share their cut of the bill with riders as well as restaurants. This substantially broadens the market to restaurants but profit suffers. The only mouthwatering aspect of the delivery business is its potential size. According to Bernstein, a brokerag
31、e(经济公司), almost a third of the global restaurant industry is made up of home delivery, takeaway and drive-throughs, which could be worth $l trillion by 2023. In 2019 delivery amounted to $161 billion, leaving plenty of room for online firms to expand. Yet it is by no means clear whether anyone can m
32、ake money by delivering meals. In fact, the economics may be even worse. Delivery businesses have ways to cut their losses. One is to diversify further, by delivering groceries, flowers, and even people (as Uber does), as well as meals. Another is to provide cheaper meals by centrally supplying ingr

They offer customers great convenience.C. They draw a part of profit from restaurants. D. They balance the complicated need
