Traditional Agriculture
Most Canadian farmers focus on high productivity from a few main products, such as beef cattle, wheat crops, or greenhouse produce. 【1】, although not as a primary resource. Crop rotation(轮流耕作) kills certain pests and keeps the land rich. In fact, traditional agriculture is main farming.
Organic Agriculture
It is growing popular. Farmers who focus on protecting the environment believe that a successful organic system begins with a healthy soil that develops healthy plants, farm animals and people. 【2】, 1.7% of Canadian farms were proved organic in 2009.
The Natural Solution
It is from natural insect control. A bag is used to ship certain kinds of insects from the supplier to an organic farmer. Farmers avoid chemicals with natural methods, such as using insects to attack agricultural pests. 【3】.
Genetic Engineering
【4】. The reasons include increased production and the convenient management of insects, diseases and wild grass. Genetically engineered crops account for most of the corn, and soybean plantings in Canada and the United States.
【5】.
Farmers who want to buy special seeds must sign an agreement with the seed supplier. One requirement is that the farmer shouldn’t keep seeds from the present year’s crop for planting in the following season.

28、WE COMBAT ANIMAL DISEASES TOGETHER!
We want to prevent serious animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever and African swine fever from spreading to Finland. These and other animal diseases can be transmitted from one country to another by animals or by meat and dairy products even if they are packed for personal consumption or intended as gifts. Travelers like you play an important role in preventing the spread of animal diseases.
Don’t bring meat, meat products, milk and dairy products from non-EU countries to Finland!
A ban on personal imports applies to meat and dairy products brought into Finland by travelers or ordered and sent through the post. The ban applies to food stuffs intended for personal consumption or as gifts and to pet food. If you have food products of animal origin with you, throw them in a waste container in the point of entry or contact Customs!
Bringing meat-containing products as presents and for personal use from an EU country to Finland
At the moment, there are EU countries with cases of African swine fever. In those countries there are restriction areas and, as a rule, pork and wild bear meat or products containing these meats may not be imported from these areas into Finland. Import is allowed only under very strict criteria controlled by local authorities. However, the sales of these meat products within the country may be allowed. In the EU, the disease has been detected in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Belgium and Italy (Sardinia), for instance. It is difficult for travelers to know and prove from which area meat products originate and whether the products on sale meet all criteria. This is the reason why we recommend that people avoid importing any meat products containing pork or wild bear meat as presents or for personal use from countries with African swine fever.
PLEASE NOTE! Never leave any food waste or leftover in the environment or places where they may be eaten by wildlife. Never give food waste or leftover to production animals or to pet pigs.
Thank you for helping us to prevent the spread of animal diseases. We wish you a pleasant journey!

29、 The Real Neighborhoods of Oscar-Winning Film 'Parasite'
South Korea's Oscar-winning movie "Parasite" tells the story of class (社会等级) struggle through the sights and smells of Seoul. It made history this week when it became the first non-English language movie to win the Oscar for best picture. People all over South Korean social media celebrated.
The film is a story of two South Korean families - the wealthy Parks and the poor Kims. It shows the deepening inequalities in South Korea. The story has been welcomed by people around the world.
Much of "Parasite" was filmed on movie sets. But the idea for the Parks' home and the Kims' sub-basement apartment came from real neighborhoods in Seoul. A sub-basement apartment is a usually small, dark apartment built partly underground.
POVERTY DOWNTOWN
Ahyeon-dong is one of the last of the poor areas near downtown Seoul. It is where the Kims are said to live in the film. The neighborhood, which is now mostly older people, with few young couples or children, made several appearances in the film.
Sitting on a hill near the main train station, Ahyeon-dong has steep, narrow streets. Many of them end in long staircases that people climb to reach their homes.
Local people said rents for sub-basement apartments in Ahyeon-dong have risen to around $340 each month. The rental costs there have more than doubled in the past 10 years.
SEOUL'S ‘BEVERLY HILLS'
Across town is the area of Seongbuk-dong. That is where the wealthy Parks' home is set in "Parasite." It is known as South Korea's version of Beverly Hills – an extremely wealthy community in Southern California The area is home to many business families and diplomats(外交官). Unlike in Ahyeon-dong, the streets in Seongbuk-dong are clear of waste. They are also very quiet, with most homes hidden behind high walls, fences and security cameras. Most of the houses in Seongbuk-dong have basements for home bars or small theaters and the rents there are usually $8,500 to $12,725 each month.
【1】Which of the following statements about the movie “Parasite” is True?
A.Much of the movie was filmed in a real neighborhood in Seoul.
B.It becomes one of the best foreign movies to win the Oscar.
