"Can I see my baby?" asked the happy new mother. When the baby was in her arms, she couldn't believe her eyes. The baby was born without ears.
Time proved(证明) that the baby's hearing was very good though he had no ears. He got on well with his classmates. But one day, he said to his mother, tears in his eyes, "A big boy called me a freak (畸形的)."
The boy's father asked the family doctor. "Could nothing be done?"
"I believe I could graft (植入) on a pair of outer ears if they could be got," the doctor said. They tried to find a person who was helpful for the young man.
One day, his father said to the son, "You're going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But we must keep it a secret who the person is."
The operation(手术) was a great success, and a new person appeared. His cleverness and hard work made him a very successful person. He married and lived a happy life.
He once asked his father, "Who gave me the ears? I could do enough for him or her."
"I do not believe you could, "said the father." The agreement was that you are not to know...not yet."
For years they kept it a secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother's body. Slowly, the father raised the thick, brown hair. To his surprise, the son found his mother had no outer ears.
"Mother said she was glad she never needed to cut her hair," his father said in a low voice, "and nobody ever thought mother less beautiful, did they?”

1.Holly: How I miss the clear water and fresh air in my childhood! But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots(腐烂) away.
2.Jimmy: More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the
importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.
3.Samantha: Organic products(有机产品) are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also do harm to our health in some way.
4.Patria: I’m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides(农药).
5.Derrick: Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.

A．"Organic produce is always better, "Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides, and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And it is tastier." |
|
B．Market research shows that small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口) to meet the need. |
|
C．Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless ways of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly(环保) products have made pollution problem more serious. Millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of. |
|
D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and care about the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo be bad for the environment?" "Can this be reused or can it only be used once?" |
E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green．Some companies have emphasized it in their advertising that their products are clean and safe enough for people.
F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
