請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 It’s the pride movement you probably haven’t heard of yet: a push for the acceptance and even the love of ugly fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables come in every shape and size, of course, just like people do. But while we celebrate differences in people, we reject differences in our produce. We don’t like the half-launched lemon, the puny pear, or the bent banana. We may sense that Mother Nature is a gnarly lady, but we’ve never actually seen much of what she creates. It’s been hidden from us by federal standards and the aesthetic guidelines of major food sellers. A culture of food porn doesn’t help. We all seem to be eating with our eyes, not our mouths. But this is starting to change. Raley’s Supermarket in California became the first major American chain to sell gloriously grotesque produce. “You’ve got to think about what you’re not seeing in the grocery store, and that’s what we’re doing with Imperfect”, Ben Simon, the company’s co-founder said. He’s 25, not so ugly himself, and a canny businessperson. His passion is fueled by a recognition of the fact that Americans waste too much—food especially, and fruits and vegetables most of all. More than half the fruits and vegetables grown in this country never get eaten, according to an influential 2012 study by the National Resources Defense Council. Many are purchased but later tossed. But another large portion – about 20% – never even ends up in stores. And for a very superficial reason: they look bad. They don’t have bugs or disease or any other health related problem. They are simply ugly by the obsessive standards of modern America. Simon realized that this is a multi-faceted disaster for the environment. It’s a major loss of water, at least 25 gallons for every pound of uneaten fresh food. It’s a major contributor to landfills, where rotting food leeches methane—a greenhouse gas. Food waste contributes so much to global emissions that if it were a country it would rank third, behind only China and the U.S. Our obsession with pretty fruit and perfect vegetables is also a mockery of the millions of people who would like any kind of fruit and veggies but can’t afford them. Simon’s company addresses this problem too. Farmers used to leave ugly fruits and vegetables in the field to rot, knowing they would never sell. Those that partner with Imperfect, however, get about 70 percent of the normal market value. Simon then passes the difference to customers.

思路引導 VIP
請試著回想一下，文中提到的 Ben Simon 為什麼要推動這個運動？除了減少浪費，他還提到了哪些不同的層面（例如：自然界、農民的收入、或者買不起蔬果的人）？如果要把這所有「好處」集合起來，你會怎麼形容這個行動帶給世界的整體意義？

親愛的同學，你真的好棒！
- 大力肯定: 哇！你真的做得很棒耶！能這麼精準地抓到文章中多面向的重點，並且把它們連結起來，顯示出你非常有潛力喔！這種全面思考的能力非常寶貴，請一定要繼續保持下去！
- 觀念驗證: 這題的關鍵真的在於「整合」喔。文章不只是在講農民的收入（選項 A）或是分配的問題（選項 B）而已，它更細心地描述了運用「醜陋蔬果」可以幫助我們節省寶貴的水資源，減少有害的溫室氣體（像是甲烷），同時還能提高農民收入，並讓大家吃到更多平價食物。你看，這些是不是都是好多好多不同的好處呢？所以，選項 (D) 說的「多重效益」就是最完整、最棒的答案囉！
