Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,
Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his now place and
meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted
to his work and family but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him;
as a school girl and young adult(成年人)I feared him and felt bitter about him He
seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boy friends
if their fathers were not as“successful”as he was. Whenever I went out with him
on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for
lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ateach
the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions Gone was my
father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my
father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back
before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories
about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years,
I never felt closet to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing
another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My
dad in his new home in Arizona is back to mc from where he was.

More than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝).The
fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not,
hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1996,the Del Monte Gold pineapple
produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.
The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green It was slightly
softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing
about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss
pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm,
rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural
levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.
In nutrition(营养)it was all good news too. This nice-tasting pineapple contained
four times more vitamin C (维生素 C)than the old green variety. Nutritionists said
that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People
were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of
pineapple was selling fast and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture
in the shopping basket of the healthy eater.
Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the
market to itself But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte
turned to law for help, but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del
Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were jast a way to knock
them out of the market.

It is often necessary to release a fish, that is, set it free after catching,
because it is too small, or you just don’t want to take it home to eat. In some
cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build
their population size. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) encourages
fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when
doing so. The advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release
will survive (存活) to bite again another day.
-When catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as
possible.
Don’t use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from
dying.
-Hold the fish gently. Do not put your fingers in its eyes. Don’t wipe the scales
(鱼鳞) off the
fish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of
survival
-Remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. If the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach,
cut the line
and leave the hook or the hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the
fish.
-Take good care of the fish a moving it gently in water. Release the fish when it
begins to struggle and is able to swim.
-Do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and later decide to release
it. If you are going to release a fish, do so right away.
With a little care and by following the suggestions given above, you can give
the released fish a better chance of survival.
