cruel practice f cmmercial whaling.
"Nrway ften kills mre whales than Japan and Iceland cmbined. And it’s n less cruel than in the past." the peer wrte befre the pening f the Nrwegian whaling seasn this week.
Nrway increases its fixed maximum frm 999 in 2018 and has authrized the killing f 1.278 whales this year. Killing the animals, ften with the gunpwder, was similar t inhuman traditin such as human slavery r by chimney (烟囱) sweeps. "Nw is the time fr Nrway t recgnize that cmmercial whaling is cruel, utdated and unnecessary—and must be stpped."
Last year Japan authrized whaling after years f carrying it ut in the name f scientific research. Nrway, like Iceland, refused t recgnize the 1986 internatinal act and restarted whaling in 1993. It says there are 100,000 whales in its waters.
Greenpeace Nrway has appealed t its gvernment t pay attentin t the ppsitin"as well as the lack f a lcal market fr the prducts". It says, "Whaling is nly maintained fr narrw plitical reasns and shuld be phased ut. "
A Nrwegian gvernment spkesman said, “The whales are harvested in a sustainable manner
based n the best available scientific advice. The availability f whale prducts in Nrway is whlly
cnsumer-driven and internatinal trade in whale prducts is regulated by and accrding t relevant
internatinal framewrk."
It is used fr pet fd and t feed animals in fur farms r is exprted t Japan and Iceland. Pippa Middletn, sister f the Duchess f Cambridge, said that she ate smked whale in Nrway, cmparing it t smked salmn. Peta, the animal rights grup, cndemned her fr being "invisible t the debate abut Nrway's mass murder.
Lrd Ashcrft sent researchers t Nrway t investigate and said fur ships were seen preparing fr "the killing activity". "The biggest cncentratin f ships is in the Lften Islands, which are ppular with turist, " he wrte.

C. It whales with a scientific methd. D. It sets an amunt limit f whaling.
30. What des the gvernment spkesman want t express7

B. Whale prducts are prmted by ur gvernment.
C. Whaling shuld be maintained fr plitical reasns.

Early in the year, the hpe was that the bttlenecks that messed up the glbal supply chain in 2020 wuld be mstly cleared by nw. They've actually nly gtten much wrse and evidence is munting that the hliday seasn is at risk.
Acrss Eurpe, retailers (零售商) can't meet demand because f delivery delays. In the U.S. Nike cut its sales frecast after COVID-19 set ff factry clsures in Vietnam that wiped ut mnths f prductin.
Cvid utbreaks have affected prts. There still aren't enugh cntainers, causing prices t
increase 10 times frm a year ag. Labr shrtages have delayed trucking and pushed U.S. jb penings t all-time highs.
On the supplier side, Jay Freman's been making tys with manufacturing partners in China fr mre than three decades, and he's never seen anything like this. His mid-sized ty cmpany, Basic Fun, is n pace fr its best year ever. There is n shrtage f demand, but a shrtage f cntainers has left thusands f the cmpany's Lite Brites and TinkerTys waiting t be shipped. At just ne factry in Shenzhen, there's rughly $8 millin wrth f finished gds that culd fill 140 cntainers.
The bigger, mre systemic risk—ne that culd hurt every retailer is that Americans spend less
than expected because there isn't enugh inventry (库存) The available gds may als nt be all that attractive. The sharp increase in shipping prices has frced manufacturers t make hard decisins abut what t transprt. Hicks, the Academy Sprts CEO, predicted that shppers "will have t settle mre because they just wn't have as gd f a selectin."
Shipping big items and gds with lwer value dn't make as much ecnmic sense right nw.
iPhnes are small and pricy, making them an ideal gd t ship but he same case can’t be made fr lw-end furniture r tys.
"Cnsumers might see news abut prt backups (阻塞) but that wn’t hit hme until they try t buy the ty f the year and can't get it." Bartashus, an analyst fr Blmberg Intelligence, said "Thar's when they’ll hit crisis mde,”
32. What is the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. The gds are munting. B. Supply chain issues are getting wrse.
C. The cnsumers becme hpeless. D. The hliday seasn hits the bttlenecks.
33. What prblem is Jay Freman faced with?
A. Basic Fun lacks rders.
B. There exists a shrtage f shippers.
C. His ty cmpany has its wrst year.
D. The factry is filled with finished gds.
34.Which f the fllwing will hurt every retailer?
A. Cnsumers will have limited ptins.
B. Cnsumers can't affrd the attractive gds.
C. The shipping cmpany will stp shipping expensive gds.
D. The manufactures will have pr selectins f sipping cmpanies.
35. What will prbably happen accrding t Bartashus?
A. The prt prblem will be settled.
B. Cnsumers will prefer t stay at hme.
C. The gvernment will pass the financial crisis.
D. The market will be in varius frms f panic.

W: I learned frm a yung age that the animal kingdm was an amazing place. I remember my teacher’s lessns n different creatures in different envirnments. Mrs. Keller always spke with enthusiasm abut the different tls that each animal had develped t survive. Hwever, what interested me mst was the animals that helped ne anther. Certain animals frm a bnd that benefits bth f them. Fr instance, there’s a type f fish that attaches itself t sharks. The fish actually ride n the sharks as they g. They even eat the remaining fd frm the shark’s meals. In return, when the shark isn’t giving them a free meal, they clean the shark. The small fish eat away anything that wuld cause an infectin in the shark. Isn’t that amazing? What’s even mre amazing is that sme animals have adapted t creating a bnd with humans t. The “hney guide” is a bird that will lead humans t the insects that prduce hney. The birds have learned t change their call when they find the insects. They d this specifically t warn humans in the area. Why, yu ask? It’s because the humans use smke t make the insects calm dwn. The smke sends the insects away frm prtecting the hney. This allws the birds t get the first taste f the hney as a reward. Facts like this are what make me lve nature s much.
Maybe the pwer f ne's belief isn't the ultimate example f intelligence.
Maybe, in a cnstantly changing wrld, the ability t make judgements and
