Organized volunteering and work experience has long been a vital companion to university degree courses. Usually it is left to 1 to judge the potential from a list of extracurricular adventures on a graduate's resume, but now the university of Bristol has set up an award to formalize the achievements of students who 2 time to activities outside their courses. Bristol PLuS aims to boost students in an increasingly competitive job market by helping them acquire work and life skills alongside 3 qualifications."Our students are a pretty active bunch, but we found that they didn't 4 appreciate the value of what they did outside the lecture hall." says Jeff Goodman, director of careers and employability at the university.

Organic food is now a huge market segment, driven by consumer demand for food that’s healthier.The biggest misconception held by many organic lovers is that organic produce is not grown with fertilizers (肥料) or pesticides (杀虫剂). That’s simply wrong. Organic fertilizers and pesticides are manufactured by all the major producers. Pests attack crops whether they’re certified organic or not; and all plants take nutrients (营养物) out of the soil that have to be replaced.Many think organic farms handle that through soil management. And so they do, but so do all farms. Every farm rotates crops as much as possible to keep the soil healthy and reduce the spread of pest; by no means is this unique to organics. It’s been a farming fundamental for centuries.Chemicals are one of a farm’s biggest expenses, and both organic and conventional farms strive to reduce that expense. Modern agriculture depends on efficient fertilizers that deliver the needed nutrient load with a minimum of waste, and on newly developed seed strains that thrive with less fertilizer and that are naturally resistant to pests.Organic practices, however, prohibit both of these innovations, restricting farmers to less efficient fertilizers made from post-consumer and animal waste, and banning the use of the newest crop strains. Why? Because that’s what organic is. It was never about farming in the best way we know how; it’s about farming in a particular way, that rejects modern developments.At the end of the day, there’s no real difference. The Internet is full of videos where volunteers can’t tell organic from conventional produce in blinded tests. Daily variations in produce quality are much larger than any inherent difference between organic and conventional. And yes, you can find studies that show organic food is healthier, but to find them, you have to dig past a much larger number of studies that find no difference at all.If organic is what you want, great, buy and enjoy whichever you prefer, but just don’t be fooled by bad science and marketing efforts.1. What is the main purpose of the passage?A) To compare organic food with conventional produce.B) To correct people’s wrong beliefs about organic food. C) To explain why organic food is so popular with people.D) To convince that conventional produce is better for health.2. What is a traditional method used to keep the soil healthy?A) Avoiding too much use of chemicals.B) Replacing soil nutrients with fertilizers.C) Using the soil for organic produce only.D) Rotating crops as much as possible. 3. What is one characteristic of organic practices?A) They use no fertilizers or pesticides.B) They use more efficient fertilizers.C) They ban the use of new seed strains. D) They adopt the latest farming techniques.4. From Paragraph 6 (the paragraph beginning with “at the end of the day, …”), we can infer that ______________.A) organic food is no different from conventional produceB) the quality of organic produce can be highly unstable C) the results of the tests in the videos are not fair enoughD) volunteers participating in these tests are not qualified5. At the end of the passage, the writer tends to suggest that _____________.A) the benefits of organic food are overstated by marketing B) organic practice involves no scientific knowledge at allC) people should be practical and consume less organic foodD) it is easy for people to be fooled by bad science today
