      You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple.In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm,shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.

     The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says "USDA Organic". Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non-organic foods exist. Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket.

     The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution.Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.

   Here are other differences between conventional fanning and organic farming:

* Organic or not? Check the label.

     The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed.Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.

     If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers

use it.

  46. The main purpose of the passage is_________.

     A. to promote the sales of organic food

     B. to inform people organic food is better for their health

For many employers, Facebook, MySpace and other social networking sites are already a threat （威脅） that cut into productivity．Now they have something else to worry about—the games hosted by these sites．

This new type of social gaming is called "asynchronous" gaming and allows people to play with their friends without having to be online at the same time．The low-intensity （低強(qiáng)度） engagement has made games such as FarmVille, Cafe World and Pet Society popular among employees who often log on during office hours．

"What we are seeing is that more and more people and organizations are recognizing the productivity lost so probably more chief information officers are blocking Facebook applications," Rebecca Wettemann of Nucleus Research said．

Boston-based Nucleus Research, which conducted a recent study into the effects of social networking sites on productivity, said nearly half of office employees in the United States access social networking sites at work, which leads to an average loss of 1．5 percent of total office productivity．

Facebook, which has 350 million users, says at least 20 percent of its members play games online．Sebastien de Halleux, CEO and co-founder of online game creator Playfish, said Asia is growing at a faster pace than other regions．"We had no idea that it would spread so fast．．．when we had 100,000 users after one month, we thought it was the biggest success ever．Now with 60 million users we think this is only the beginning of something much bigger," he added．

Zynga's FarmVille, the best known game with over 70 million active users to date, allows players to own a virtual farm where they can grow crops and raise animals．

While companies try to limit access to social networking sites, not everyone sees the games as harmful．

61．We can learn that Pet Society is a game _____．

       A．popular among employers              B．without having to be online

       C．merely played during office hours       D．that can be played online at a different time

62．It can be inferred from the passage that ____．

       A．Playfish is owned by Sebastien and Rebecca

       B．Playfish has over 70 million active users to date

       C．Asia will be the largest potential market for Playfish

       D．Playing online games loses 1．5 percent of total office productivity

63．The best title of the passage would be ____．

       A．Social Network Gaming              B．New Threat to Productivity

       C．Social Networking Sites               D．Latest Survey on Productivity

64．What would most probably be discussed next after the last paragraph?

       A．Opinions in favor of online games．

       B．Measures to limit access to social networking sites．

       C．Suggestions on how to improve productivity．

       D．More examples about the bad effects of online games．
