题目内容
1.The production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage.The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of,certain animals and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level,the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals.The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other special(物种) that depend on the trees'flowers and fruits.Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home.As a result,many special are quickly dying out.
On a more global level,the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life.Medical research often makes use of the forests'plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases.In addition,new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally,and eventually the world's groundwater.
Both locally and globally,the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology.The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate,and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.Moreover,the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology.But consumers do have a choice.They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost.The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.

Would you want to be (41)stuck in an unchangeable position every time you're in the car?No.You Wouldn't!
When a (42)grown-up sits in a car for any length of time,we stretch,we change the position,we move our legs,and shift (43)constantly.We do this automatically,and without (44)thinking.But kids in a traditional car seat can't do this.They are stuck in one position,and they (45)can't move.We move because the (46)circulation of blood needs to be restored in our legs as we sit in the (47)same position for any extended length of time.
In a traditional car seat,the child can't move to (48)reduce the pain,so it (49)puts them in a bad mood.
The FreedomRide lets them have a little (50)freedom,and still be safe.The 5-point Harness gives them additional safety (51)over a traditional child car seat.
I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com,and (52)when JoeySafe asked us to redo their web site,I was (53)attracted by this system.That is because I have two small children,and we obviously (54)use car seats.I live in Southern California,and every (55)couple of months,my wife,the girls and I,go to see grandma who lives in Nevada.It's a 5-hour drive,so the FreedomRide (56)works well.Our trips are so much better now,especially,since there is (57)more room in the car without the car seats.
The FreedomRide really did (58)make it easier to go on trips.The only thing you need when you use the Joeysafe (59)instead of your old child seat is a pillow.(60)Besides,my kids want to take a pillow anyway!As a dad,I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide.
