In winter, living on a boat can be very cold and there is always a feeling of being wet. Of course, most boats are 57 . small inside. So you dont have much space, 58 . if you are a couple, family or group of friends.Despite these 59 . , the number of people living on Britains waterways has increased by around 50 percent over the past ten years. This is not only because they like the idea of life on water but also because it is much cheaper 60 . or rent a boat than a flat (公寓) or a house.There is a great 61 . of community on the waterways. Houseboat neighbors often 62 . friends for life. They are quite different from people who live in flats or houses and may hardly know the people next door at all.八、单词填空补全短文People often go to shops to do some shopping.

Have a look in your fridge, cupboard, and fruit bowl and check the origins (来源) of the food. Perhaps there are apples from California, lamb from New Zealand, or potatoes from Egypt. You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate. This journey, from field to plate, is called food miles. A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmers field to the person who buys the food. Nowadays, food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer (消费者). Why is this, and what are the effects (影响) of these long distances?Traditionally, farmers sold their food in the local market, so the food didnt have to travel very far. The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food. This was a good system for farmers and consumers. However, there were some disadvantages. For example, consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally. In addition, they could only get food that was in season. Now, because of modem technology, food comes from all over the world. We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes. They are available in winter if we want.Some countries have to import (进口) most of their food. This is because they have difficult climates. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), for example, gets 85% of its food from other countries. Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials.Whats wrong with food miles? Is this not a good way of increasing international trade? I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons. First of all, because food travels such long distances, we need more planes, lorries, and ships to move the food. This means we use more oil or petrol, so there is more pollution and more global (全球的)
