In spite of ill health and a physical incapacity(伤残)that threatened her career, Carson McCullers completed a novel in the summer of 1961 that made the best-seller list before its official publication; date by virtue of(由于)prepublication sales.

In an interview at her home, the noted novelist looked back on some of her problems of recent years and spoke without emotion of her latest book, Clock without Hands, her first in fifteen years, "For many years I had been thinking of the novel and finally wrote it this passed year. ""The tall, frail novelist, forty-three years old in 1961, suffered a series of strokes in her twenties that left her partially incapacitated, and she also admitted that a mental block kept her away from writing for many years after the strokes.

She is remote from literary fashions, and she has never learned to intellectualize her art, but she reads her critics and takes them seriously.

Clock Without Hands depicts (叙述) Mrs McCullers' native South and the slow passing of the old way of life through the lives of a dying pharmacist (药剂师), a white judge and former congressman, his rebellious grandson, and two Negroes.

New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL-- Country  of  Origin Labeling(标签)

American Congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.

Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded.

For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods.

The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of- origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.

Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门氏菌), officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach(菠菜)grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.

The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.

Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.

 

66. What's the regulation in the new rules?

A. Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on.

B. The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food.

C. Stores have to label seafood by country of origin.

D. Labeling of food should include more useful information.

67. Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?

A. Because it is economical and provides people with more choices.

B. Because the United States is short of food supply.

C. Because Americans need more and more food recently.

D. Because foreign food is of higher quality than native food.

68. Consumers are more concerned about where foods came from because  .

A. they are curious about the country of the food origin

B. they are particular about the tastes of the food

C. they are concerned about food safety or want to get what they want

D. most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves

69. The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect  _______

A. right now      B. in a month        C. in three months       D. in half a year

70. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to the vegetables grown in Local places.

B. The law was not fully carried out until last week because of food industry's resistance

C. The government of America will forbid importing peppers from Mexico.

D. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.
