What is green food? Do you enjoy green food every day? The concept of “green food” was first suggested by the Department of the Ministry of Agriculture in 1990.
Green symbolizes life, health and energy. Nowadays, people demand healthy and fresh food. Having enough food to eat is only a basic requirement, and they need more than this. They want to enjoy unpolluted, safe and nutritious food and eat comfortably. So the government does this through a set of “from the land to the dinner table” quality controls. It requires to change China’s traditional agricultural structures and ensure the food of high quality.
Safe vegetables refers to products without substances harmful to humans. Growing such vegetables requires no strong poisons, thus guaranteeing vegetables fresh and clean. There are strict regulations in place for even applying fertilizer(肥料). The examination of vegetables should reach the state food hygiene(卫生) standard. The following conditions for green food are regulated by the China Green Food Development Center. Firstly, products or raw materials must reach the green ecological environment standard set by the Ministry of Agriculture. Secondly, crop planting, livestock raising, fish breeding and food processing must follow green food operating procedures set by the Ministry. Products must be up to the green food hygiene standard. External packing must be pasted with national standard universal labels, special green food packing decoration and tag regulations.
However, by now, our goal hasn’t been completely realized. When you return home with a full basket, you are still worried about whether what you have bought is green and healthy. Indeed, for the sake of our health, we still have a long way to go.

附加阅读题 （每小题2.5分， 满分10分）
阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 When we have been hurt by a person close to us, how do we let go of resentment, forgive, and rebuild trust?
First, it's important to understand that letting go of resentment is something we can do regardless of whether the other person takes responsibility for his actions. In other words, letting go of resentment means that I have clearly known what has happened, and I can determine only what I, not the other person, will do about it. Letting go of resentment can be achieved by personal journaling or by finding a friend who will listen to your story.
But can you forgive the other person? Forgiving depends on your understanding the feelings and motives of the person that hurt you, and making sure that the other person understands how you were affected.
Lastly, can we rebuild trust? This clearly depends on whether you and the other
person are ready and willing to take corrective action. In other words, I may be able to let go of resentment, I may come to understand the other person and forgive him, but if I do not see evidence of his willingness to make changes, it may not be possible for me to trust him again. Clearly, rebuilding trust is a gradual process that can take weeks, months, or even years.
Empathic(感情移入的)listening, open and honest communications can help you to let go of resentment, forgive, and rebuild trust in your relationships.
1. What’s “let go of resentment”?
A. It refers to something we can do by ourselves. B. Fully know about what has happened. C. Forgive what someone did to you.
D. Make others trust you through your behavior.
2. We know rebuilding trust is a gradual progress, because _______.
A. It depends on whether the two sides are willing to take actions B. Sometimes the both sides can not forgive each other C. sometimes they don’t like to correct their mistakes
