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 being 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(營養(yǎng) ) it was all good news too. This nicetasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C(維生 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 eater. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit panies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but failed. Those panies 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. 60.

It is strongly remended that vessel(船只 ) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales. or even an engine of the revolution?‖ This is what is being discussed privately in the faculty of Harvard. The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago. “ If the universities are to do their work,” he said, “ they must be independent and they must be disinterested（廉潔）? They are places to which men can turn for judgments which are unbiased（無偏見的） by partisanship（政黨支持） and special interest. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgments is damaged.‖ This is part of the argument that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the argument of the militant(好戰(zhàn)的 ) : that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be “ disinterested” but activist in bringing the nation‘s ideals and actions together. Harvard‘s men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and academic purpose than they did at the beginning. “ They are not even clear about how they should debate and solve their problems, but they are struggling with them privately, and how they e out is certain to influence American university and political life.‖ 60.

A. fight with the militant B. overe the widespread dependency C. take an active part in solving society‘s ills D. support our old and established institutions 61.
