More than 10 years ago，it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝)．The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and，more often than not，hard with an unpleasant taste within.Then in 1996，the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves. The new type of pineapple looked more yellowygold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside.But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hitandmiss pineapples we had known.In no time，the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm，rapidly becoming the world’s bestselling pineapple variety，and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth，up until then only found in tinned pineapple. In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too.This nicetasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C (维生素C) than the old green variety.Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins，but also good against some diseases.People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit.The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a_fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eaters. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple，Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself.But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples.Del Monte turned to law for help，but failed.Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market. 1.We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is________. A. green outside and sweet inside B. goodlooking outside and soft inside C. yellowygold outside and hard inside D. a little soft outside and sweet inside 2.Why was the new type of pineapple selling well? A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice. B. It was less sweet and good for health. C. It was developed by Del Monte. D.

A. that people enjoy eating B. that is always present C. that is difficult to get D. that people use as a gift 4.We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte________. A. allowed other companies to develop pineapples B. succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself C. tried hard to control the pineapple market D. planned to help the other companies

How to become a better student Maybe you are an average student.You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessary so，however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Here’s how： 1)Plan your time carefully.When you plan your week，you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list，you should make a schedule of your time. First，list your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc.Then decide a good，regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time. 2)Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of everything but study materials.No games，radios，or television！When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject. 3)Make good use of your time in class.Take advantage of the class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later.Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers say. 4)Study regularly.When you get home from school，go over your notes.Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class.If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material.This will help you understand the next class.If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you will remember it longer. 5)Develop a good attitude about tests.The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test，so don’t be overly worried. There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. How to become a better student
