39、ownstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasnt his usual reserved(|$|fcft0 self. “Cant wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match Must see!“ I quickly figured out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan. I had never been interested in football, but Dads excitement that morning made me m
40、ore and more curious. I had to find out why miss sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first trip to Disneyland. Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping
41、to turn Mum and me into football fans. The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV: “Why is that man jumping up and down?“ Dad patiently explained: “Thats Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It
42、s normal for them to jump up and down after theyve scored. “ Dad explained almost everything to me. His monosyllabic (单音节的 ) answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad!

43、atches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink(眨眼 ). At long last we had something in common. Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other.

One
47、clear difference is the one between clingstone fruit in which the flesh is stuck to the seed inside and freestone that in which the seed floats freely. Customers prefer freestone peaches because they dont want to struggle to get the flesh away from the seed. And thats how it goes in stone fruit land
48、. Plant breeders(培育者 ) are trying all the time to improve the old favorites. Frequently, the changes are designed to meet the demands of the growers or packers. One very delicious family of peach varieties has nearly disappeared because it forms a small “beak“ at the bottom of the fruit. That little
49、 point is likely to break during packing and shipping, opening the door to spoilage(腐烂 ). This is certainly not to say that the wants of customers are not important. In fact, they drive some of the most important changes. One thing customers like is red lots of red. Peaches used to be prized for golden skin; now people a
