D Japanese researchers made a botanical announcement on Monday that quickly circled the world. They had developed a banana with an eatable peel（皮） — the Mongee banana. The technique used by scientists at Damp。T Farm is called “ freeze thaw awakening” . The process involves starling banana trees out in an environment that’ s nearly minus80 degrees Fahrenheit, then moving the trees with their stillripening bananas to a climate of around 80 degrees an environment banana trees typically grow in the entire time. The extreme temperature change puts the banana’s growth into a superfastspeed mode. In this case, the fruit ripens before the skin can catch up. The result is soft and thin skin that hasn’t fully developed. The banana has been produced only in small amount so far, so customers face a steep bill to save themselves the bother of peeling their bananas: it is currently priced at 648 yen（ $6） a piece. There’ s also the question of whether a banana peel is actually worth eating and whether regular banana peels had, rather suddenly, bee too big a problem for people who slip on them to bear anymore. And what about shipping? For most of the fruit’s history, the peel has provided protection, allowing it to travel long distances from where it’s grown to nearly every country on Earth. A softer banana would be a step back from regular banana varieties that travel thousands of miles. But the banana in the news is arguably good, particularly for a fruit that rarely receives its share of attention. Bananas are the most consumed fruit in Japan, and also in the . So even if eatablepeel bananas don’t ensure plentiful bananas, or even necessarily nutritious bananas, they still look great on Instagram, which probably ensures them a future in Japan’ s famous luxury（奢侈） fruit markets. 32.

It forces banana trees to grow more slowly than usual. D. It provides an environment banana trees typically grow in. 33. What might be the major problem for the export of the Mongee banana? A.

Japanese have bee fans of eatablepeel bananas. C. Eatablepeel bananas are healthier than regular ones. D. The Mongee banana doesn’t receive enough attention. 35.
