Jim found himself exhausted during a trip. When he came ho me, he went to see a doctor. “The reason why I was fatigued (精疲力竭),” Jim says, “was that my kidneys were gone.”Jim, 69, a former Air Force pilot, immediately started dialysis (透
析) three times a week. A person of his age on dialysis usuall y lives only about four years. Transplants are a long-
shot alternative. The National Kidney Foundation estimates th at 13 people die every day while waiting for a donor with the ri ght blood and tissue types.
Jim’s wife, nephew and four family friends offered but weren’t a match. Jim was so discouraged that he was even considerin g not attending a reunion of some Air Force buddies (铁哥们).

When they both were learnin g Vietnamese before they went overseas.
Doug, then 70, felt a strong bond with his band of brothers, ev en though he hadn’t seen some of them for decades. Their co nnection went beyond the battlefield in ways most, soldiers ne ver experience.
Doug had received help from his friends when he was in troub
le, so he felt like it was a time that he could pay that ahead by donating a kidney to Jim. Fortunately, series of testing reveal ed not only that Doug’s tissue type matched Jim’s but also tha t he had the kidneys of a 35-year-old.
The transplant was a success. “It’s pretty miraculous to be abl e to take an organ out of one person’s body—a living organ—put it in another person’s body, and have it work.” Doug says. “And there’s nothing finer than knowing I’ve helped another p erson live a better life.”

It would not be an overstatement to say that salt is one of the greatest discoveries in the history of mankind. Just imagine h ow tasteless our food would have been had salt not been disc overed. Apart, from adding flavor to our food, it is also an ess ential ingredient for the health of both man as well as animals, provided it is taken in the right quantities. Salt is also used by the food processing and meat packing industries as a season ing or preservative ingredient.
Salt has always been helpful in the building of communities a nd societies, as man normally built his settlements around the sources of salt. At one point of time, salt was also used as a currency. Today, there are many countries around the world t hat are working hard to extract (提
炼) salt so that we can enjoy our food to the fullest. Some of t hese are producing enough salt to satisfy the requirement of t he entire world, while others are producing just enough to sup port their own people.
According to the British Geological Survey, China is the top s
alt producer in the world. The United States of America occupi es the second position, and India, finishing a distant third. Oth er countries that, made it among the top ten salt producing na tions’ list were Canada, Australia, Germany, Mexico, Chile, Fr ance and the Netherlands.
Countries that produced more than 1 million tonnes of salt in 2017 included Peru, Bangladesh, Thailand, Brazil, Saudi Arab ia, Pakistan, Romania, Egypt, Poland, and the United Kingdo m, to name a few. Ranked at the bottom of the list were the Af rican nations of Mauritania and Djibouti.
So, the next time you take your meal and add a pinch of salt t o make it more delicious, do share a thought for the numerou s salt workers around the world due to whom our food tastes so perfect.

These days, many people are concerned about plastic waste; however, the convenience and cost of plastic food packaging are hard to beat. But now, a growing number of inventors are trying to make edible (可食用
的) packaging and tableware from foods like seaweed, milk pr oteins and potato starch, according to an article in Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly newsmagazine of the America n Chemical Society.
Edible films, wrappers and straws have already found a speci alty market and are starting to attract attention from larger foo d and beverage companies, according to freelance contributor Prachi Patel. At the 2019 London Marathon, the start-
up company Notpla handed out sports drink, packaged in sea weed-
based capsules, to thirsty runners. Although the packaging is safe to swallow, runners can choose to spit out the film. In tha t case, it breaks down in only 4-6 weeks. The New York-
based company Loliware is making seaweed-
based straws that feel like plastic for 24 hours after getting we t. Once used, they can be eaten, or they will break down in th e environment within 2 months. Marriott Hotels and alcoholic-beverage firm Pernod Ricard have already started using the s traws.
Although edible packaging is gaining ground, challenges rem ain. Some worry about the hygiene (卫
生) of eating packaging that has been touched or exposed to germs during transport or while sitting on the shelf. Experts ag ree that edible packaging will require an outer layer, but these materials could also be made from sustainable materials, suc h as paper. Another obstacle is public acceptance: will people eat something that is usually thrown away? Consumers could perhaps be convinced if the packaging includes nutrients, su ch as vitamins or proteins, or just tastes good. And finally, imp rovements in heat and moisture stability need to be made bef ore edible packaging can enjoy widespread use.
12. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?
A. Plastic is convenient and cheap.
B. People are concerned a bout plastic.
C. Seaweed can be widely used as wrappers.
D. New food packaging is catching more attention.
13. Which of the following can best describe Notpla?
A. It is a computer company.
B. It produces edible straws.
C. It is run by Prachi Patel.
D. It’s a newly founded company.
14. What is implied in the third paragraph?
A. Edible packaging may cause more pollution.
B. It takes ti me for edible packaging to be popular.
C. No one but experts support edible packaging.
D. Edible packaging will certainly replace plastic.
15. What can be the best title of this text?
A. Edible Food Packaging
B. Environmental Issues
C. Brand New Inventions
D. The Food of the Future
