美国高中里的“爱心杂货铺瘦西湖”（一）国足对韩国
When you go to a grocery store (杂货店), you expect to pay for your goods with money. But students at a high school in Texas, US, opened a store that runs on good deeds.
In November, students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger launched a grocery store that enables students to purcha necessities (必需品) such as toilet paper, meat and basic food items using a point system. The store aims to support families in need.
“In our school district (区), there are roughly 2,750 students enrolled and throughout the district, 43 percent of the students are considered economically disadvantaged,” Anthony Love, principal of Linda Tutt, told CNN. “About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless. We thought it was important to support them and their families and make sure they had food on the table.”
Students earn points by contributing positively to the school. For tho students from poor families, the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families, according to Love. “They can earn points for doing chores (杂活) around the building or helping to clean,” he said.
With the help of partners like Texas Health, Albertsons and First Refuge Ministries, the school was able to stock the shelves.

The number of points for each item was actually assigned by the students. “So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point,” said Paul Juarez, the executive director of First Refuge Ministries.
Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets implemented (实施) in other areas. “It gives us a picture of what can be. So if we can do this inside other schools, it will do a whole lot to h
elp other small towns.”
In addition to the financial benefits, students also learn about supply management and customer rvice, and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.
The grocery store’s student manager, Hunter Weertman, said he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store, such as making good spending choices and budgeting (安排开支).
The store practice was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger’s mayor (市长). “We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work, and what you got for your work,” he said. “I think this will do that for them too, and also meet an immediate need.”

（二）舌尖上的变革：植物海鲜或成未来趋势。难度高
Before fish ever ends up in your grocery store or on your restaurant table, it leaves behind a ries of human rights and environmental disasters. The international fishing industry is full of human exploitation and irresponsible practices on the high as. For this
reason, business and consumers are looking to an alternative food source that tastes like afood without being from the a – in other words, fishless fish.
Good Catch and Van Cleve Seafood are doing for plant-bad afood what Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods did for plant-bad meat, according to Outside Online. There are already many options available. Good Catch us many legumes (豆科作物), including peas, lentils (兵豆) and soybeans, mixed with algal (海藻的) oil and afood powder for their fish-free tuna (金枪鱼) product. Van Cleve Seafood offers crab cakes made from cabbage, artichoke (洋蓟) and hearts of palm (棕榈).
“I love plant-bad afood,” said Monica Talbert, CEO of Van Cleve Seafood, “becau it gives us a platform to shine light on the unsavory (不光彩的) things going on in the afood industry, just like plant-bad meat did for the livestock (牲畜) industry.”
The fishing industry’s human rights and environmental abu is abundant. Many fishing b
张馨之oats are operated by migrants (移民) who are abud and forced to work long hours in terrible conditions. There’s also the environmental issue of bycatch, the unintentional catching and killing of animals. Bycatch makes up about 40 percent of the fishing industry’s combined haul (捕获), 28.5 billion kilograms per year, according to Oceana, a nonprofit ocean conrvation organization.
“The lawlessness, the mislabeling. The fish illegally soaked in chemicals. The child labor, slavery and human trafficking (买卖). Just horrendous (骇人的) practices. It was so disheartening,” Talbert said.
As sales of plant-bad foods increa, there’s hope that the “horrendous practices” will end. Next year’s afood may look quite different – and less fishy – than the one you e today.
