This passage about urban foraging comes from
various sources.
Interest in urban foraging has been growing in recent
years. Urban foraging refers to the collection of fruits,
vegetables and so on that grow wild in towns or cities.The idea of eating something which hasnt come from a
restaurant or supermarket appeals to a lot of people, but
can make others rather nervous.
Some people forage to save money; people who are
really serious about this practice claim that they can
save about 40% on their supermarket spending. Others
forage mainly for the potential health benefits; a lot
of food that grows in the wild is more nutritious than
commercially-grown foods. In some cases, people
forage primarily in order to establish a connection with
the seasons and cycles of nature, which so many urban
dwellers have completely lost or never had in the first
place.
Most people are amazed by just how much food you
can find in towns and cities, although you need to know
where to look, of course. There are various useful online
guides to help beginners find edible treasures. And,sometimes, experienced foragers will offer tours of urban
areas, showing people what to look for and what to stay
away from, such as poisonous berries and mushrooms.
Another thing foragers need to be careful about is
exactly where they forage. Its a good idea to do some
research into the sites you plan to visit in order to make
sure that they arent known to be contaminated, as in the
case of former landfills, for example.
Experienced foragers will tell you that the benefits of
their practice outweigh the risks, as foraging not only
teaches you about nature and saves you money, but its
also a great way to get some fresh air and exercise!
121 What does the writer say about popularity of urbanforaging over the last few years?
a It has remained about the same.
b Its been increasing.
c Its been dropping off slowly but steadily.
d Its been decreasing rapidly.
122According to the passage, how much do dedicatedforagers spend at the supermarket?
a almost twice as much as others
b about 60% of the amount spent by others
c about a quarter less than others
d a bit more than others
123 In the final sentence of the second paragraph, whatdoes the word which refer to?
a the seasons and cycles of nature
b certain cases (of foraging)
c foraging
d a connection with nature
124 What is true about foraging in towns or cities?
a Theres a lot to find.b Theres no relevant information on the internet.
c There isnt much to collect.
d You can find food very easily.
125 According to the writer,
a no preparation is needed for a person to startforaging.
b the only dangers for foragers are poisonousfoods.
c contaminated soil can be a problem for foragers.
d its dangerous to rely on information from theinternet.
126 Which of these titles would be the best for thispassage?
a How to Become an Expert Forager
b The Many Dangers of Urban Foraging
c Going Out and About to Eat More Cheaply
d Take Control Over What You Eat

History of the pollution problem
Over the years, the Great Lakes
have been used and abused both by
individuals and by entire industries.
People dumped trash, dead animals,
raw sewage, and toxic chemicals into
these five beautiful bodies of water.For many years, there appeared to be
no hope for the future of this unique
ecosystem.
One day in the summer of 1969, the
Cuyahoga River, which flows into Lake
Erie, actually caught fire because it was
so polluted. It wasnt the first time that
the river had caught fire, but it was the
first such fire to receive so much media
attention. As a result, people started
fighting for increased controls on water
pollution. In the 1970s, significant laws
affecting the Great Lakes were passed:the Great Lakes Water Quality Act and
the Clean Water Act. Though these
have helped to improve matters, many
problems still exist.
On stage!
One of the most popular parts of a day at theGLPIC is the fascinating educational play puton by a group of amateur actors. The play,calledA Chain of Events, shows children howpollutants get into the water, harm fish, plantsand, eventually, humans. Somehow, our talentedtroupe of environmental actors even managesto leave the children with a message of hope.
* Weather permitting, the play is performedin our new outdoor amphitheater, located justbehind the main building. On cold or rainy days,the performances take place in Stage Room 204,on the second floor of the center.
Arts and crafts
In our Ancient Arts Room, volunteer artstudents from the local university helpschoolchildren make a decorative object
(such as a small vase) and paint it withpatterns that were originally created by thenative people of the region, such as the
Algonquians and Iroquoians. Students can usetheir creative talents to make a lovely souvenirfor themselves, a friend or a family member.
NB: there is an extra $5 charge per student forthis activity in order to cover the cost of theart materials we provide.
Native American Cooking
After giving students a short talk about interestingNative American food and cooking practices, foodexpert Len Mansfield will guide students through anAmerican Indian recipe of their choice. At the endof the lesson, students can taste their own creation,as well as a few of the special snacks that Chef Lenalways has on hand.
The menu includes: corn soup, fried bread, wildrice, bean balls, cornmeal pudding and more!
Sadly, many ships have sunk to the bottom of the
Great Lakes. A number of these shipwrecks have been
located over the years, but about 100 of them are still
somewhere down there
Shipwreck expert Carrie Kline has put together a
wonderful audiovisual presentation to teach children
about the most famous shipwrecks of the Great Lakes.
After the general presentation, one of our staff will
teach students about todays underwater exploration
technology, such as special robotic systems. Finally,
participants will learn about how a group of local
high school students recently used state-of-the-art
technology to find two shipwrecks from the 1880s!
The shipwreck presentation and talk are held in the
high-tech Listen and Learn Room on the first floor.
About the GLPIC
The Great Lakes Pollution
Information Center (GLPIC) was
set up by a team of environmental
scientists in the 1990s as a place
for local schoolchildren to learn
more about the environmental
problems the region faces and
what can be done about them.
The center is staffed by a group of
local researchers and volunteers,
and it has expanded over the years
to become a popular choice for
educational field trips for children
living in the region. Teachers can
mix and match activities in order
to create a perfect day for their
students.
Displays, games and presentations
In the Main Hall, students will learn all
about water pollution and its effects
on wildlife and humans. There are
interactive displays and games which
teach students about the Great Lakes
environmental problems. A number
of the presentations are designed to
get children to think about and come
up with ideas regarding possiblesolutions.
THE GREAT LAKES POLLUTIONINFORMATION CENTER (GLPIC)
BeachtimeWeather permitting,
there are a variety ofoutdoor activities thatteachers can choose
for their groups, such as
swimming, canoeing, hikingand nature walks. All activities
are supervised by center staffmembers. The goal is to show kidshow much fun the Great Lakes
and the surrounding areas can befor both youngsters and adults.
We hope to instill in them a loveof this unique ecosystem and tomotivate them to take good care
of it, both for themselves and forfuture generations.
Note:
Classes can be split into two or threegroups for outdoor activities, dependingon students interests and physicalabilities. The minimum number ofstudents needed for an outdoor activityis 5 and the maximum is 25. Classesof more than 25 will be split into two ormore groups.
