Last year, I went WWOOFing (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) at a beautiful organic farm in La Réunion. With WWOOFing, volunteers exchange their time and work for food and accommodation. I slept in a cabin in the woods with hedgehogs(刺猬) digging about in the bushes, all different coloured birds singing in the morning and endless rows of palm trees offering shade from the sun.
For me, one of the best ways to get to know a new place is to work with the land, live with the locals and share meals together. This is why I absolutely love WWOOFing. It has got to be one of the best ways to travel. It is a mutually beneficial exchange where everyone involved prioritises people and environment above profit. You get the time and space to deepen a connection with local communities and nature.
There is a lot to learn and each farm has its own unique way of doing things, depending on the environment, climate and soil. At the farm in La Réunion we planted palm trees to harvest the core of the trunk which can be eaten in salads. Before staying with the farm I had only eaten heart of palm from cans which were nothing in comparison to the real thing, fresh from the ground. When potting up the very beginnings of the palm trees, I felt grateful to be a part of the start of the trees&39; cycle. I was filled with awe that something so small could grow into something so big and strong.
We also did lots of weeding, which helped me to get to know all kinds of different plants, to be able to identify which ones we could use as herbs/medicine/in salads and which were seen as uneatable. I also got to harvest pineapples and guava fruit(番石榴) to make jams which will be sold at the local market.
Of course, not everyone is able to travel far away into the field. The great thing about the skill-share philosophy behind WWOOFing is that it’s something we can all do from our own backyard. The focus shifts from money to how we can best support each other in our communities.
A fair exchange can make a big difference in the world.

A.get food and shelter for their work

This passage is mainly about _____A.the development of WWOOFing
B.a local WWOOFing community
C.a charming WWOOFing experience

请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

阅读理解My cousin, John, is a university student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed there for two months. I was surprised that John was able to have such a long holiday because he never has any money.
“How did you manage it, John” I asked. “I thought you were going to stay for two weeks,”
“It was easy,” John answered. “I got a job.”
“A job!” I exclaimed. “What did you do？”
“I gave English lessons to a grocer,” John answered. “His name is Luigi. We have become great friends.”
“But you’re not a teacher,” I said.
“I told Luigi I couldn’t teach,” John explained. “But he insisted on having conversation lessons. He wanted to practice his English. He has a lot of American customers, so it is important for him to speak English. I spent three hours a day talking to him. In return he gave me a room, three meals a day and a little pocket money.”
“Did your pupil learn much English？” I asked.
“I don’t know,” John said. “But I learned a lot of Italian!”

What I like about the Fortune 500 list
The Fortune 500 isn't made for light reading. (8) ________ The 500 is based on U. S.-based compaflje5, publicly reported revenue, not on any quality-based metrics, You get high-grade companies such as Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (No. 7) nestled near utter dogs such as Fannie Mae (No. 5). (9) ________ My favorites:
LeBron who？ Last summer, Cleveland sustained a psychic trauma when basketball star LeBron James dumped the Cavaliers and went to Miami. Now the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has gotten a little mojo back by adding a company to the Fortune 500: Cliffs Natural Resources. (10)________It could have been better for Cleveland, though. The company used to be known as Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. but renamed itself in 2008, saying, "We're no longer only a North American iron ore player.”LeBron-Cliffs, anyone？
Chrysler returns. The automaker fell off the list 13 years ago, when it was acquired by Daimler-Benz (later DaimlerChrysler) in what proved to be one of the worst corporate deals ever, right up there with Time Warner (owner of Fortune's publisher) selling itself to AOL in 2001. Daimler dumped Chrysler onto the Cerberus leveraged-buyout firm, which put up almost nothing but still overpaid. (11) ________ It has no publicly traded stock. Under the terms of its federal bailout, however, it has to file financial reports with the SEC, so it's list-eligible again. Welcome back, No. 59.
Exit Unisys. Enter Cognizant. These two information technology firms are heading in opposite directions. (12) _______ But the company's revenue dropped in 2010, and this year it's fallen off the list, to No. 520. Meanwhile, Cognizant, on Fortune' s list of fastest-growing companies for a record eight straight years, has grown its way into the 500(No. 484) only three years after first making the Fortune 1,000. (13) ________ Unisys, by contrast, was formed in 1986 by combining old-line computer companies Burroughs and Sperry.
Finally, Buffett. His Berkshire Hathaway cracked the top 10 in revenue and profit for the first time because last year it bought the 78 percent of Burlington Northern that it didn't already own. (Buffett, a longtime director of The Washington Post Co.,steps down this month.)As part of that deal, Buffett split Berkshire Hathaway' s B shares 50 for 1.
(14) _________ So I decided it was time to sell half my Berkshire stake, held in an IRA, into the run-up. The stock's since risen 10 percent. Oh, well. Yet another example of why he's Warren Buffett and I write for a living.
Now match the statements (8-14) to the letter (A, B, C or D).
A Unisys was one of only 62 companies to have been in the 500 every year since Fortune started the list in 1955.
B Cliffs, which is heavy into iron ore pellets, coal and other industrial raw materials, doubled its revenue with the aid of acquisitions and leapt to No. 477 on this year's list from No. 750 last year.
C Cognizant, formed in 1994, is a creature of the offshoring world, with most of its development centers in India.
D I found some of this year's corporate comings and goings especially interesting.
E That got it listed on the S&P 500 index, forcing index investors to buy it and running up its price.
F Chrysler went broke and is now run by Fiat; it is owned primarily by Fiat and a trust for Chrysler workers and retirees.
G But if you leaf through the list at random, the way I used to leaf through the Book of Knowledge encyclopedia when I was a kid, you come across all sorts of stuff that's kind of fun.
