In order to ensure people’s ability to know what they are eating, China also has a trademark system for GM products, including clear labels, but many GM products in the country are still sold without labels, Xinhua noted.

Give a man a fish, they say, and he will eat for a day; teach him to fish, and he’ll eat for a

lifetime. A few fish dinners recently at local restaurants have reminded me of several times when someone has, in fact, given me a fish. In the last months of 1991, I was in Ukraine. The group I went with spent most of the months at teachers colleges in several cities. While we did some sightseeing, our main purpose was to meet with the students so they could practise their English.
As the sightseeing was led by my tour guide with whom I often disagreed, I on several occasions turned left when the rest of the group turned right, and set off on my own. One weekend in Kherson, a port city, I boarded the wrong ferry on the Dneiper River, going to somewhere I never knew. On the ferry I was recognized by two young women, who were the students at the college I was visiting. One of them was going to visit her parents at their “summerhouse”, a vegetable garden on a small island farther up the Dneiper. When the young lady understood that I had no destination in mind, she invited me along.
It was the sort of visit with a family one hopes for, and rarely gets, in a foreign country. The father was an amateur photographer, and since the fastest film he could get locally was ASA 64, he was thrilled that I could leave him a few rolls of ASA 400 color film. The mother prided herself on her cooking, but had limited supplies, so they walked around the island and invited several other families to a potluck supper (家常便饭). The main course was sturgeon (鲟), which was at least six feet long in the river. It was a gift of a fish that must have fed a few families for several days.
In 1988, my wife and I were teaching in the Faroe Islands. On our first trip to the grocery store, we found no fish for sale. A teaching colleague explained that in an economy where almost every family is supported by fishing, there is no market for fresh fish: You catch your own or get one from a next-door neighbor. A few days later, he brought us a few large fish to keep us well supplied.
In 1965, I was studying German in Munich, Germany. Standing in line for the student tickets for an opera, I met a young American man who had been sent to Munich for business. As an American who first came to this city, he had not been able to find the local branch of his company, and I was able to give him directions. When he left Munich, having had some meals with people from the local branch, he gave me the food he’d been carrying, a can of gefilte fish, a sort of seasoned fish ball. I was feeling homesick, and this old favorite really hit the spot. A gift of canned gefilte fish seemed an improbable favor to return. But nearly 50 years later, I had a cousin who was working in Nairobi, Kenya. He wanted to organize an American-style
12
Passover Seder (逾越节晚餐) for his friends, but could not find American-style gefilte fish in Kenya. While it usually comes in bottles, I was able to locate some packed in cans, and I mailed a box of canned gefilte fish to him from America.
My parents always told me that, when I was young, many people would do favors for me that I could not repay, but if I watched carefully, they added, I might pass the favor along to another someday.
Give a man a fish, and he may find a way to give a fish to someone else, even 50 years later. 65. The author went to Ukraine in 1991 primarily for . A. enjoying a different lifestyle C. English teaching

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
I once had a superior, Natalie, who was repeatedly late. She would race into the office every morning, stressed and very untidy, and she’d always have to reschedule meetings. I almost had a panic attack once when she arrived just 17 seconds before our flight closed for boarding on an important business trip.
I’ve known a few people like Natalie, and I always think: How do they do it? I mean, isn’t it so anxiety-inducing to always race against the clock? If they take a few minutes for preparation and think ahead, everything will be much easier. Natalie’s approach didn’t do her any favor, that’s for sure. Her lack of organization meant she never got selected for leadership roles, and she wasn’t considered for the promotion she wanted. It wasn’t surprising.
The good news is that punctuality is not a gene. Anyone can master it! Here’s how you can stay on (or ahead of) schedule 99% of the time!
Refuse to take on too much
Overscheduled people run the risk of being late because they squeeze more into their calendar than a 24-hour slot (时段) will allow. Hey, you can’t fit seven eggs into a half-dozen box without a mess. This one simple rule will transform your life.
What can you scratch off the agenda before you even begin today? Get real with yourself here. What can you say “no” to in order to give your best to the stuff that really matters?
Set aside a few minutes to plan
Look at your day the night before or first thing in the morning, where do you have to be and by when? What do you have to do, and how long will each task take you? All you have to do is a bit of time budgeting!
Say you have three tasks to complete, and two meetings that both require a little preparation and travel time. Schedule an approximate time for each of three tasks, and give yourself some
14
extra time in case you need a little longer than you think.
Have some necessities handy
Without dry shampoo, an accessory (配饰) collection that matches a basic black garment and a bright lipstick in handbag, getting ready would take me at least 30 minutes more per day. When you have some such time-saving stuff in your life, your appearance remains strong in a very short period of time.
Start batching (批量处理)
Whether you’re planning Facebook updates, sending emails or even make-ahead (可预先准备的) meals for the week, batching is a time-saver. Once you’re in a shopping, writing or social media mindset, perfect that by thinking a few days or a week out. A working mom shared with me the secret of batching meals, chores and even paying bills online. Try it—you won’t go back.
