CFruit farmers in Okayama,Japan,have managed to make peeling()a banana optionalby developing a special variety with eatable skin.The peel of their "Mongee bananas"isn'ttastier,but it's much thinner and far less bitter than that of regular bananas,making it 100%eatable.Scientists at D&T Farm in the country's Okayama Prefecture released the socialmedia-ready news following months of experimenting with a freezing-and-thawing (method,which keeps the banana tree at extremely cold temperatures followed by a dramaticheat increase.The result is soft and thin skin that hasn't fully developed.They froze youngbanana trees to -60 degrees Celsius,planting them again as they began to thaw.This apparentlyactivated an ancient part of their DNA,which not only allows the plant to grow in Japan's coolclimate,but also accelerates its development.While tropical varieties of bananas require twoyears to grow large enough for consumption,the Mongee banana needs just four months.The first batch (of Mongee bananas hit department store shelves in November oflast year,but getting your hand on one of these incredible fruits remains a huge challenge.D&T Farm only produces 10 bananas per week,and they only deliver them to the Fruit Cornerof Tenmanya Okayama,a local department store.But even if you happen to find one available,you'd probably be a bit put off by the price-648 yen ($S5.70)per fruit.Banana peel is an excellent ingredient that can contain vitamin B6 and magnesium relatedto the production of serotonin (I).At the same time,it's rich in substances called“tryptophan''(色氦酸)，a raw material of serotonin which stabilizes the mind and has a positiveeffect on sleep.Research results that ripe fruit peels have a good effect on treating certaindiseases have also been published.John Guterman,a botanist,says,"And what about shipping?For most of the fruit's history,the peel has provided protection,allowing it to travel long distances.A softer,morebruise-prone(容易擦伤的)banana would be a step back from hardy banana varieties thattravel thousands of miles."In this sense,the day we all stop peeling bananas and instead bitestraight through their skin may still be a long way away.28.Compared with regular bananas,Mongee bananasA.are far easier to peelB.have much sweeter fleshC.are much more thin-skinnedD.have a longer growth period29.Why is it hard to buy a Mongee banana now?A.It isn't affordable at all.B.It isn't in mass production.C.It is made for certain people.D.It hasn't come into the market.30.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A.The varied flavors of banana peel.B.How to make banana peel eatableC.How to make banana peel sweeter.D.The medical value of banana peel.高三英语第5页共10页
