A New Store With Greens Like Emeralds (祖母绿)At his new Paradise Market, Jason Lowe displays fruit, bunches of herbs and frilly greens as a jeweler would decorates. The store, at a 1614 Beacon Street, is more than twice the size of his original one on Delaney Boulevard, which he closed more than a year ago when the rent went up. But his merchandising has not changed. “I do not wash my lettuces, or clean them the way others do,” he said. “They will last longer and stay fresher at home this way, and keep their nutrients. And I never put anything out on the street to dry in the sun.”
His berries are placed in an open case with a cooling unit. He has added fresh breads, cheeses, imported butters, top – of –the – line oils, gourmet pastas and Del Sur ice cream. As for a salad bar, he does not believe in them. He has a small kitchen to make soups and sandwiches to go. And business goes well. “I have three times as many customers as I had on Delaney Boulevard,” Lowe said. “And my only aim is to keep them all happy.”

查看习题详情和答案>>any English speakers permanently (永久) settled in that northern location. But in 1616 it was already
the subject of the book A Description of New England, by that busy explorer and promoter Captain
John Smith, who had visited the land two years before.
According to Smith, New England owes its name to Sir Francis Drake. Not that Drake ever saw or
talked about New England, but in sailing around the world he stopped in 1597 at a place on the Pacific
coast of North American and called it Nova Albion, the Latin for "New England". Following Drake's
lead, Smith called the area at a similar latitude (纬度) on the Atlantic coast by the same name, translated
into plain English.
The very words New England show the direction of Smith's thinking. This was to be an extension (延
伸) of Old England, not a new kind of community. The map in his book gives only English names for the
places of New England, and he provides a special list showing thirty American Indian names replaced by
English ones: Accormack by Plymouth, Massachusets River by Charles River, Kinebeck by
Edenborough, to list a few. Some of those changes succeeded. But what finally happened after the
Plymouth colonists landed four years later has turned out differently than Smith had imagined, for Indian
names as well as English ones still cover the new England area.
