Are you a crazy chocolate fan? Have you heard about Hershey’s Kisses? Do you love the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? If your answer was, "yes", to any of the questions, then my experience will make you jealous (妒忌的). I just went to the famous Hershey Chocolate Factory!
The other day we drove from Washington DC to the small town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. When we arrived at the factory, we realized that this was much more than just a factory. The whole town is a chocolate-themed amusement park. The sweet smell of chocolate is on every street corner. There are even road signs that say things like, "Chocolate Ave(大道)" and "Cake St.".
As we were walking towards the park, Jason, our tour guide, began telling us about this quiet little town. Hershey chocolate has been a brand in the world over the past hundred years. It is the biggest company that makes and sells chocolate in America," he started. "I guess you get the chocolate in China, don’t you?"
I nodded(点头) without thinking. How could I possibly not know those lovely little candies when I’ve been eating them all these years?
Jason went on, "The factory first started on a small farm. It developed very fast. So they built this town for factory workers to live in. Then they built hotels, hospitals, stadiums(体育馆), theaters and even museums with the theme of chocolate. Isn’t that cool?"
"Yes, a hundred times yes!" I yelled (叫喊 )with delight.

Kelly Christopher, a student at Lutheran High School in California, US, loves oranges. One day last week, she used a pole(竿子) to pick oranges off trees and collect them in baskets. It’s the first time in her 15 years she’s picked fruit from trees.
"This is quite different from buying oranges in the supermarket," said Christopher. "Every time I eat an orange, I’ll remember this experience."
Christopher was one of the 30 student volunteers at Soil Born Farms. She volunteered as part of a project which was set up in 2009 to help homeowners in South Land Park pick oranges and other fruits out of their backyards. Before, the fruit would rot on the ground or get eaten by animals. Now the fruit is donated to those who need it.
"It is good for many people", said Randy Stannard, who works for the project. "The homeowner gets fruit picked and more people can have healthy food."
"Two harvests (收成 ) were organized in 2009 and volunteers picked 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) of fruit", Stannard said. In 2010, the number was 20,000. This year, Soil Born Farms hopes to get 40,000 pounds. They will harvest every weekend from January to April.
Shannon Galloway, Christopher’s science teacher, brought her students into the project this year.
"You’re making use of a resource that might be wasted," she said. "I think it’s meaningful to everyone."
Donato Frazier, 15, always climbs up a ladder(梯子) and gets on the top of the tree.
"Standing on the treetop is pretty cool," Frazier said. "I can see clearly that many baskets are filled up, and even see that many people are eating healthy fruit because of our volunteer work."
71. Christopher and other students went to pick fruits from real trees because they wanted to _____.
A. have some fresh fruit for themselves B. make some money by selling fruit
C. provide people with more healthy fruit D. buy some cheap fruit from their neighbors
小题1: When was the project set up?| A．In 2008. | B．In 2009. | C．In 2010. | D．In 2011. |
小题2:What will happen to the fruit if they don’t help the homeowners pick it?| A．The fruit will rot or be eaten by small animals. | | B．People who need the fruit will come to pick it. | | C．The fruit will be used as a resource for research. | | D．Homeowners will pick the fruit and sell it. |
小题3: What does the underlined word “mean?小题4:How do the students feel about their work?| A．It’s interesting and easy. | B．It’s meaningless and hard. | | C．It’s meaningful and exciting. | D．It’s tiring and boring. |
