News 3

Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6X their normal price. This is after the country‘s

main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and floods and its main

potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3 decades. Local

media reports suggest Calbee and its main rival Koike-ya are halting almost 50 products.

“We don‘t know when we’ll be able to restart”, a company spokesman said. Sna

ck lovers

are panic buying and many supermarket shelves are bare. Japanese laws limit the amount of

imported potatoes that can be used in Japanese made products. Japan says fear of disease is

its main reason to block fresh imports. It still only allows potatoes from selected US states.

This is only at certain times and on condition that they are processed at factories based near

Japanese ports.

But global warming has raised the possibility that domestic produce could be seriously

affected by rare weather events more often.

Question 5

What problem is Japan facing

Why does Japan limit the import of potatoes

超市的货架上都空空如也 。日本法律限制可用于日本制造产品的进口土豆数量。日本表示，

对疾病的恐惧是阻止新 进口的主要原因。

Conversation 1

M

：Mr. Brown‘s lectures are so boring.

W

：

Yes, he is not a very exciting speaker. But the subject is interesting.

M

：

During every one of his lectures, I try to listen I really try. But after about 10 minutes my

mind begins to wander and I lose concentration. But I see that you seem to be OK. How do

you stay focused through the entire hour

？

W

：

Well, what I do is keep my pen moving.

M

：

What do you mean

？

W

：It‘s a method of active concentration I read about

. One of the most effective ways to

concentrate is to write things down. But it has to be done by hand, not typing on a keyboard.

You see writing by hand forces you to actually engage with what you’re learning in a more

physical way.

M

：

Do you review your notes afterwards then

？

W

：Sometimes but that‘s not important. My notes may or may not be useful but the point is

that by writing down what Mr. Brand says I can follow his line of thinking more easily. In fact,

sometimes I draw a little too.

M

：

You draw in class and that helps me pay attention

？

W

：

Yes, honestly it works for me. I just draw little lines and nonsense really. It was also in that

article I read. It can keep the mind active, prevent getting bored and help to concentrate.

Again the point is to list

en hard while keeping the pen moving. If I‘m at home and I need to

study what I do is read out loud. It has a similar effect to writing by hand. It helps memorize

information in a physical way.
