2．Since my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job，I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I'd got a permanent one．
I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper，so as soon as there was no one about to say"where are you going？"I rushed out of the house in search of it．I was wildly excited，and as nervous as if I were going on the stage．Finding the place quite easily，I tore up three flights of stairs，and swung breathlessly through a door which said"Enter without knocking，if you please．"
The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me，and I sat down on the edge of a chair．The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me．Then she questioned me in a low voice．I answered softly and started to feel helpless．She wondered why I was looking for this sort of job，so I felt I had to give her the idea of a widowed mother struggling against poverty．But I felt more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience or references．Suddenly，the telephone on her desk rang．While having a mysterious conversation，she kept looking at me．Then I heard her say：
"In fact，I've got someone here who might suit．"She wrote down a number，and my spirits rose as she held out the paper to me，saying："Ring up this lady．She wants a cook immediately．Cook a dinner for ten people tomorrow．Could you manage that，I wonder？"
"Oh，yes，"said I-never having cooked for more than four．Then I rushed out and called the lady--Miss Cathy．I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for．"Are you sure？"she kept saying．Anyway she decided to employ me and a permanent position if I carried out the promise of my self-praise．I asked her what tomorrow's menu was to be．
"Just a small，simple dinner：lobster cocktail，soup，turbot Mornay，fruit salad and a savory．"In a rather shaken voice I promised to turn up in good time tomorrow and rang off．

1．The production of coffee beans is a huge，profitable business，but，unfortunately，full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage．The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of，certain animals and birds，and even disturbs the world's ecological balance．
On a local level，the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals．The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other special（物種） that depend on the trees'flowers and fruits．Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home．As a result，many special are quickly dying out．
On a more global level，the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens（威脅）human life．Medical research often makes use of the forests'plant and animal life，and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases．In addition，new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally，and eventually the world's groundwater．
Both locally and globally，the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations （種植園）could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology．The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate，and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming．Moreover，the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic（酸性的） soil conditions．
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life，from the local environment to the global ecology．But consumers do have a choice．They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible，although at a higher cost．The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee．

54．What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4？B．
A．It limits the spread of new growing techniques．
B．It leads to air pollution and global warming．
C．It slows down the loss of shade trees．
D．It improves local soil conditions．
55．The purpose of the text is to．D．
A．entertain
B．a(chǎn)dvertise
C．instruct
D．persuade
56．Where does this text probably come from？A．
