But what if we could enjoy chocolate without climate guilt? In fact, we can, because when cocoa is grown sustainably, it can actually help save t
31、he world.Cocoa beans grow on shrubs that are often planted in the open but can also grow better under large rainforest trees. Well-managed shade-grown cacao trees can store a significantly higher amount of carbon than annual cropsup to three times the amount stored by cacao trees grown in full sun.
32、Shade-grown cacao trees are also more drought-tolerant and weed-resistant than those grown in the open. They are friendlier to wildlife, improving biodiversity.The problem is not that cacao trees cant help the environment. The problem is that too few of them do. The reasons for this are complex, but
33、 mainly boil down to lack of resources, lack of information and insecure land tenure( 保 有 期 ). Many West African cacao farmers are sharecroppers. They cant remove old, diseased trees because this would risk losing the land. They cant afford to plant new trees, either. As a result, new cacao farms ar
34、e usually created by businessmen who cut down trees and create chemical-intensive( 大 量 使 用 化 学 物 品 的 )plantations, which both pollute and reduce biodiversity.As the planet grows warmer and drier, though, these high-productive, full-sun cacao varieties are becoming weaker in the heat. Many small caca
35、o farms in West Africas cocoa belt, which supplies up to 70 percent of the worlds cocoa, now suffer from low productivity. But there is hope. When cost and land tenure issues are solved, farmers are more than willing to grow cacao trees in the shade.Trees are the most important weapons in the fight

48、的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Its an argument that every modern parent has had with their child: the battle to break them away from the mobile phone theyre staring at. For children, a smartphone is a window to games, videos and constant interaction with their friends. But for parents, it can feel like a minefie
49、ld. 36 First, its worth bearing in mind that screen time can be beneficial. “37But theyoften use them to develop an interest. For instance, if theyre interested in gymnastics, theyll watch videos of routines and try to learn from them,”Peter Twining, professor of education at theOpen University says
50、. 38 It may help to explain the substantial gap in opinion between children and parents about how much screen time is acceptable. According to a survey, the amount of screen time that adults thought appropriate for children was 1.75 hours, with children believing it to be3.34 hours. 39However, recen
51、t research suggests that instead of setting specific time limits for usage, such as a maximum of two hours per day, its actually the nature of the screen time thatmatters. For instance, passively looking through social media posts is less beneficial than actively playing games，which can improve prob
52、lem solving skills. A study found that “how children usethe devices, not how much time they spend on them, is the strongest predictor of emotional or social problems connected with screen addiction.”Twining agrees, saying：“Im less concerned about screen time than about the nature of theinteraction a

56、e typist, the listener or the reader. The word was part of the technical term of the French printing trade in the 19th century, the name for a plate used in the printing process, and it is still used with that meaning in English and other languages. By the middle of the same century, the word was be
57、ing used in French, shortly followed by English, as a simile (比喻) for 41 used expressions.Clichs can be 42 according to whether they were originally idioms, similes and proverbs, expressions from trades or 43 phrases.Many idioms have been so universally overused that they have been 44 phrases like f

59、er national concerns. Many are 48 clichs, as is fitting for the British, as an island nation, with examples like to leave a sinking ship, to know the ropes, to stick to ones guns.Our last broad category of clich might be phrases which were 49 when they were first coined, but have become ineffective

To explore every avenue and to leave no stone unturned are two political clichs of this class. No politician
61、with any sensitivity for language could use either of those phrases 52 , yet you hear them still, all the time.No doubt we could specify the classes of clichs into further subdivisions until the cows come home. But there is no need to. We all agree that clichs are to be 53 by careful writers and spe

Afterward all the local ne
69、wspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered(破碎的) mobile home, a depressed expression on her face. A young boy, seven or eight years o
70、ld, stood at her side, eyes downward. Clutching(紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.
71、 This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I stuck the picture of the young family on our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three-year-old Meghan.“These poor people now have nothing,”
72、 I said. “Well share what we have with them. I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to
73、go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up old toys and games.Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She came to the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucys
74、flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on top of the other toys.“Oh, Honey,” I said.” You dont have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”Meghan nodded seriously, eyes filled with held-back tears. Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe shell make that other little girl happy,too

76、heir baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy. A slow smile spread across Bretts
77、 face. Then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to fetch some of his prized Matchbox cars. Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghans gesture meant.I looked at my children for a long moment. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms. Inspired
78、 by my little ones, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did. Its easy to give what we dont want any more, but harder to let go of things we cherish. However, the true spirit of giving is to give with your heart.
