Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer for each question from 40 to 47.

Cooking shows on TV are usually all about exotic foods. Thank to globalization, people everywhere are introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world. At the same time, other people are discovering that food from their area is the best kept secret. In the past few years, this movement of purchasing local produce keeps picking up steam because it offers a lot of benefits. For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Goods that are imported from abroad must be flown or shinped in from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. A simple way to test this is to sample a banana from overseas versus one that was grown locally and compare the tastes. Imported goods must also be washed and packaged in plastic or other containers so they can survive the journey. These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline during the shipping process. Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce. Today's laws regarding foods vary from country to country. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to detect if any harmful pesticides were used. When you know the local farmer who grows your food and the fields that are used to produce it, the chances of it being contaminated are greatly reduced.

Buying local foods can also have beneficial impact on the environment. By supporting local growers, consumers can maintain green space and farmland in their communities. Buying locally also helps to build the local community. If farmers can sell directly to consumers instead of a middleman, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits also enable farmers to better care for their soil and keep quality standards high. In the end, it is a win-win situation for both parties.

If you are interested in incorporating more local foods into your diet, you can start by attending a farmers' market in your area. This is an open market where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the public. If you have any questions about the production process or quality of these goods, you can ask the farmers directly. Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be tough to go back to the supermarket.

Some people say that _____ is the best-kept secret.

A. other people

Dịch bài đọc:

Các chương trình nấu ăn trên truyền hình thường là về những món ăn đẹp mắt. Nhờ có toàn cầu hóa, con người ở khắp mọi nơi đang giới thiệu vị giác của riêng mình đối với thức ăn từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Cùng lúc, những người khác cũng nhận thấy rằng thực phẩm tại địa phương mình là thứ ít ai biết nhưng lại tuyệt vời nhất. Trong vài năm qua, phong trào mua các sản phẩm địa phương đang trở nên ngày càng phổ biến hơn bởi nó mang lại rất nhiều lợi ích.

Thứ nhất, thức ăn địa phương thường ngon hơn bởi nó tươi hơn. Hàng hóa được nhập khẩu từ nước ngoài phải được chuyên chở bằng máy bay hoặc tàu thủy từ rất xa, nên chúng đương nhiên sẽ mất đi một chút độ tươi trong suốt chuyến đi. Một cách đơn giản để kiểm tra điều này là lấy mẫu một quả chuối từ nước ngoài với một quả chuối được trồng tại địa phương và so sánh mùi vị của chúng. Hàng hóa nhập khẩu cũng phải được rửa sạch và đóng gói bằng đồ nhựa và các đồ hộp khác để có thể giữ được trong suốt chặng đường. Những vật liêu này có thể khiến cho giá trị dinh dưỡng của những hàng hóa này bị giảm đi trong quá trình chuyên chở. An toàn thực phẩm là một lý do khác khiến mọi người lựa chọn các sản vật địa phương. Luật pháp hiện nay đối với thực phẩm có sự khác nhau giữa các quốc gia. Điều này gây nên sự rắc rối và làm cho việc phát hiện các loại thuốc trừ sâu gây độc hại được sử dụng rất khó khăn. Khi bạn biết những người nông dân tại địa phương nuôi trồng thức ăn của bạn và những cánh đồng được dùng để sản xuất ra nó, nguy cơ thức ăn bị hư hỏng hay nhiễm bệnh sẽ giảm đi rất nhiều.

Mua thức ăn tại địa phương cũng có thể mang lại những tác động có ích đối với môi trường. Bằng việc ủng hộ những người dân địa phương, người tiêu dùng có thể bảo vệ không gian xanh và đất trồng trọt tại địa phương của mình. Mua hàng tại địa phương cũng góp phần xây dựng cộng đồng địa phương. Nếu những người nông dân có thể bán hàng trực tiếp đến người tiêu dùng thay vì qua trung gian, họ sẽ kiếm được nhiều tiền hơn cho gia đình của mình. Lợi ích tăng thêm cũng làm cho người nông dân chăm sóc đất tốt hơn và giữ tiêu chuẩn chất lượng cao. Cuối cùng, điều đó có lợi cho cả đôi bên.

Nếu bạn quan tâm đến việc thêm nhiều thức ăn địa phương vào chế độ ăn hằng ngày của mình, bạn có thể bắt đầu bằng việc đi chợ trong khu vực sống của mình. Đó là một thị trường mở nơi những người nông dân bán hoa quả, rau củ và thịt trực tiếp đến cộng đồng. Nếu bạn có bất cứ câu hỏi nào về quá trình sản xuất hay chất lượng hàng hóa, bạn có thể hỏi trực tiếp những người nông dân. Một khi bạn tự mình trải nghiệm sự tươi mới của thực phẩm tại địa phương, sẽ thật khó để quay lại siêu thị một lần nữa.
