You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate．This journey, from “field to plate”, is called “food miles”．A food mile is the distance（距離） that food travels from the farmer’s field to the person who buys the food．Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer(消費者)．Why is this, and what are the effects(影響) of these long distances.　　Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market so the food didn’t have to travel very far．The consumers also did not travel very far, because they went to their local market to buy the food．This was a good system（系統(tǒng)） for farmers and consumers．However, there were some disadvantages．For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally．In addition, they could only get food that was in season．Now, because of modern technology（技術）, food es from all over the world．We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes．They areavailablein winter if we want． Some countries have to import(進口) most of their food．This is because they have difficult climates．The United Arab Emirates(UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries．Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials． What’s wrong with “food miles?” Is this not a good way of increasing international trade ？I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons．First of all, because food travels such long distances，we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food．This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global(全球的) warming．In addition, food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty．Tomatoes, for example, are picked early and stored for their long journey．For this reason, they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer．Local food has a better taste, and it also reduces the amount of global pollution．We need to buy more local food．58．What is called “food miles” according to this passage　　A．The origins of the food． B．The effects of long distances．C．The journey from field to plate． D．The disadvantages of imported food．59．Some countries like the United Arab Emirates have to import most of their food because of ____．　　A．long distances B．difficult climates C．fresh and tasty food D．modern technology60．The writer uses the LAST paragraph mostly to encourage readers to ______．　　A．buy more local food B．increase international trade　　C．travel long distances D．use imported materials61．This passage is mainly about ______．　　A．how local food travels from field to plate B．what “food miles” is and its effects　　C．how some countries import their food D．where different kinds of food e from DAn early form of a game in which a ball was kicked around a field is recorded in 1004 . Japan. Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century, however. They say that early English warriors（武士） kicked around the head of a killed enemy. This may or may not be true, but it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport.Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s. In fact, the king passed a law against playing it. The law said, There is great noise ... caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear.
