11、ggs and so on.If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then，the buttermilk would magically appear.All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship
12、 between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldnt freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories a

Scientists have been working on a special protection that delays spoilage by slowing water loss and oxidation
18、(氧化).Every fruit and vegetable breathes. Once a piece of produce is picked from a tree or plant, it continues to breathe, aging slowly, until it begins to break down. Microorganisms then move in, causing it to spoil. Refrigeration can delay the process, but only so much. Some scientists now think th
19、ey can make your bananas, avocados, and other fresh produce last up to twice as long by delaying spoilage. Apeel, a start-up in Santa Barbara, California, has created a way to remove lipids from several popular crops and transform each type into a powder. Dissolved in water and applied to fruits or
20、vegetables, it forms an edible(可食用的) barrier to lock moisture in and microorganisms out. Farmers can apply a version of the solution in the field, or distributors can use the rinse (冲洗) on the packing line, extending a fruits shelf life by days or even weeks. The FDA recognizes the process as safe,
21、and earlier this year it was approved for use on organic produce.Giving shoppers more time with their fresh food is one purpose. But Apeels higher goal is to fight food waste and reduce the number of refrigerated trucks and ships that race between fields and stores to deliver food at its peak. The t

Fruits and vegetables picked from trees can go bad easily without any protection.B. Scientists are aimed at a new way to prevent fresh produce from molding so
25、on.C. Farmers and distributors can use what Apeel has created but it proves unsafe.D. Shoppers are among those who can benefit a lot from Apeels new idea.31. What do James Rogerss words mean?A. Every fruit and vegetable will stay fresh all year around in the future.B. The food fresh keeping technolo

You can use the fridge to store the fresh produce for a longer time.DMrs Smith trembled with excitement when she was told her fortunes. “Somebody is coming home to you,” Mrs Gray said slowly.
