(2024·江苏南京联考)
On a holiday back home,my wife and I turned right,then right again,following the GPS
navigation (导航) system,and found ourselves in a small Cretan town.I spoke to the GPS:“We
don’t want to be here; we want the highway.” It instructed me to turn right once more.With
every turn,the street narrowed.It was like being in a magical shrinking room.We drew the side
mirrors back.We took another turn.The new road was even narrower,the walls so close you feel
hard to hold your breath.
Another car appeared,coming towards us from the opposite direction.The driver gestured,
telling me I’ll have to make way.But how? I didn’t have the nerve to back up along the
impossibly narrow road.Locals appeared.Soon there was a whole group,using sign language to
suggest a solution.There was a narrow garage opening to one side.If I could squeeze the car
forward into the garage,I could then,through a series of tiny adjustments,back into the side
street,allowing the other car to pass.
More locals arrived,standing on various sides of the vehicle,helpfully indicating that I have
a centimetre to spare here,a millimetre there.There were brick walls on all 17 sides of the
car.There was zero chance that I won’t damage the vehicle.This was significant since,a day
earlier,at the Europcar counter,I had refused the additional insurance.
One lady stood at the rear of the vehicle,waving me on.She was making strong “this
way,this way” movements with her arms.In an act of blind trust,I followed her instructions,
creeping backwards and forwards.Remarkably it worked.I completed my 27-point turn into the side
street,with no damage to the vehicle.The other car passed.The driver gave me a grateful wave.The
locals applauded happily “Hero! Hero!” I followed her lead,down the narrow lane and—
finally—back onto the highway.Free of the town,I clearly knew that I encountered heroes.

Food deserts are generally classified as geographic regions where people have few or limited
options to purchase nutritious and affordable foods like vegetables and fruits.Food deserts affect
low-income areas far from supermarkets.Over 23 million Americans live in low-income areas
located more than one mile from a food store.Over 11 million people living in these regions are
themselves low-income.While people in food deserts may have easier access to convenience stores
and fast food,they experience more challenges in shopping at large grocery stores that offer a
more comprehensive(全面的) selection of healthy foods at lower prices.
This inequality in food access means that families,children,and communities living in food
deserts may be at increased risk of obesity and other diet-related health issues,including diabetes
and cardiovascular disease.
While the existing literature on the lack of accessible,affordable foods has not reached a
consensus on the root causes of food deserts,several factors are regularly recognized.Urban areas
lacking access to fresh foods are generally divided by racial and economic lines.Diets rich in more
nutritious foods cost around $1.50 more per day.For individuals and families living paycheck to
paycheck,this cost difference can significantly impact their food choices.For people living in the
countryside,they must travel many miles to the nearest store; a lack of access to a vehicle and
limited or nonexistent public transportation contribute to food accessibility challenges.
Lack of business investment also plays a big part.When large food stores consider possible
locations,low-income areas can appear to be “too risky” of an investment.More economically
depressed(萧条的) areas can increase a business’s insurance and security costs.Even public
utility(设施) challenges,like poorly maintained roads,can prevent big companies from setting
up shops in neighborhoods that most need their goods and services ,according to Harvard
Business Review.These market conditions have a great effect on food accessibility for high-poverty
regions.
