2．Last summer，Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light，where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help.She rolled down her car window. "Hey" She shouted. "I'm driving around giving free haircuts.If I go grab my chair，do you want one right now？" "No problem." he said. "I'll be right back." Steller said.She drove off，went to the salon she owns，and loaded a red chair into her car.Then she drove back.The man，named Edward，took a seat，and she cut his curly （弯曲的） graying hair.After Steller was done，Edward looked in a mirror."I look good!" he said.
To date，Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.These clients are all living on the margins，and she is fully aware of the power of her cleanup job. "It's more than a haircut." she says."I want it to be a gateway，to show value and respect，but also to get to know people.I want to build relationships."
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers：as a teen，she suffered from a disease called ulcerative colitis （溃疡性结肠炎） that was so severe and her hair thinned suddenly.Seeing this，her mother arranged for Steller's first professional haircut. "To sit down and have somebody talk to me like a friend，it helped me feel cared about." she says.After that，Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology （美容） school in 2009，she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project.
Steller listens to people's stories of loss，addiction，and struggle to get back on their feet.The attention apparently works.When she was cutting a woman's hair one day，someone drove by and yelled， "You look amazing!"
The woman in the chair smiled very happily."I'm not unnoticed." she shouted. "Look，people see me!" "The way you show up in the world matters." says Steller.You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.
（1）Steller gives haircuts to the people who.
A．live on a farm
B．live in the countryside
C．live on the margins of society
D．live in small communities
（2）What inspired Steller to start her Red Chair Project？
A．Her kindness to the poor.
B．Her skill of doing hair.
C．Her fear of being alone.
D．Her experience in illness.
（3）How did the woman in the chair feel on hearing someone's comments？
A．Awkward.
B．Cheerful.
C．Shocked.
D．Shy.
（4）Which is the best title for the text？
A．The Power of Free Cuts.
B．A Successful Salon Owner.
C．A Wonderful Free Salon.
D．The Change of Life.组卷：0引用：1难度：0.5 -
3．People generally like to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce（农产品），but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking one.
A trial run of the ugly food line，named "Naturally Imperfect"，began with only apples and potatoes to choose from.Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more ugly vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices，sauces，or soups，or have not been harvested at all.The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste，and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices.And he was right，given how popular the line has become.
"It really went well beyond our expectation，" Branson said. "I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options."
Of course，Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep，and they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances.The positive response（响应）to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
"If you grow produce in your backyard，there will be a lot of produce that won't look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store"，said Branson. "And nature doesn't grow everything perfectly.I'd like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple，put it right beside a No.1 apple，close his eyes and eat them，there would be no difference."
（1）Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that.
A．more fruits are offered at lower prices
B．normal-looking produce is forbidden there
C．imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D．only apples and potatoes are sold every day
（2）According to Paragraph 3，Loblaws's program.
A．prevents people from wasting their food
B．happens to be a win-win mode
C．teaches food producers how to grow
D．enables consumers to eat more fresh produce
（3）What is Paragraph 5 mainly about？
A．Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.
B．Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.
C．Loblaws intends to improve customers' quality of life.
D．Customers' support promotes the development of the ugly food line.
（4）What do Branson's words in the last paragraph mainly tell us？
A．We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B．The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C．Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D．The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.组卷：3引用：4难度：0.5 -
