Waste Not,Want Not

1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have always looked for
new ways of making money out of the produce they grow.Their success began when they established a shop
on their farm so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.
2 The business was an immediate success,and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the
Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectors found the
Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables.
3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local
produce,she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen.
A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything that visitors could taste on the menu
also being for sale in the shop.
4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,but maintains
that if the product is good,the public will recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highest quality to our cus-
tomers,whether they come in for a loaf of bread,or take a whole dinner-party menu.I take it as a compliment
（恭维）if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with preten-
ding they made it themselves."
5 The couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm
which were unsuitable for selling in the shop.Clara,not wishing to see them get thrown away,decided to turn
them into soup.
6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten
different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail,doing presentations of
the soups.As a result,they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies
as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores.
选项 Clara spent much of the summer going to London to__________.
A:sell fresh vegetables
B:turned them into soup
C:sell as much as possible
D:promote her soups
E:fill a gap in the market
F: offered a variety of prepared meals
答案D
解析该段讲到他们参加了一场比赛，获得了最高分，产品得到了农场零售协会检查员的认 可。由此可知，A项与本段内容相符。
本段主要讲克拉拉?达灵顿是一位受过训练的厨师，她除了出售来自自家农场的食物 和本地出产的农产品外，还开设了一家小餐馆，顺便出售自制的食品，农场的经营变得越来越 专业。由此可知，F项与本段内容相符。
选择高标准、持续的投资是非常必要的。农场为顾客提供最优质的农产品。
夫妇俩把那些不适合在商店出售的畸形的或是被弄坏的剩余蔬菜做成蔬菜汤，因此该 段标题应该是B项内容。
文章第一段提到他们在农场建了一个商店，人们可以直接购买新鲜蔬菜了。
第三段的第一句“除了来自自家农场的食物和本地出产的农产品外，她开始在农家厨 房提供各式各样自己烹调的食物”提供了答案。
第五段最后一句“克拉拉不愿意看到它们被浪费掉，于是决定把它们做成汤”提供了答案。
最后一段第二句说到她夏天的大部分时间都在乘坐火车往返于家乡和伦敦之间，以展示自己的蔬菜汤，所以应该选D项。
