On Monday, May 9, James Givens, a police officer in Cincinnati, Ohio, was sitting in his cruiser (巡逻车）when he heard what sounded like a knock. He turned around only to find a goose pecking (脉）at the car door. This was highly unusual given that the birds typically preferred to observe humans from a distance.
But on this day, the goose appeared to be determined to get his attention and kept pecking until Givens opened the car door and stepped out. The police officer says that though the bird then began to walk away, it kept turning around to make sure he was following. When they finally stopped, Givens realized why the mother goose had been so persistent—She needed help to free her gosling (]、鹅)that had managed to get trapped in some balloon string.
Worried that the mother goose would attack him if he got close to the baby, Givens called the local SPCA chapter. Unfortunately, they were unable to send anyone to help right away. Concerned that the gosling would not survive the delay, fellow police officer Cecilia Charron, who had just joined Givens, decided to take on the task herself.
As it turned out, there was nothing to worry about. The mother goose appeared to realize that Charron was trying to help and watched patiently from a safe distance as the officer untangled (解开)the trapped bird. As soon as the little gosling was free, it trotted to its mom, and the two took off shortly after. Charron, a 24-year veteran of the police force,
said this would probably go down as the most memorable incident of her career!

The first potatoes were grown by the Incas of South America, more than 400 years ago. Their descendants (后代)in Ecuador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14, 000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. (That's higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.
People eat potatoes in many ways—baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.
Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into "shoestrings" shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.
Before shipping, every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.
So, now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no "small potatoes".
28. Potatoes in North America came directly from .
A. Chile
B. Europe
C. Ecuador
D. the Andes Mountains
29. Why does the company pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared?
A. Because selling fries is a big business.
B. Because fries are not easy to prepare at all.
C. Because Americans are particular about fries.
D. Because the government has a strict rule for that.
30. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say .
A. small potatoes cannot be used for fries
B. potatoes are really important for Americans
C. eating in America is the very first thing
D. fries are really important for food industry
31. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The average American eats 50 pounds of potatoes a year.
r
B. French fries are made from potatoes.
C. Potatoes are a key vegetable in America.
D. The various terms for potatoes have a long history.
