He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful”as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that aftemoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting be around? What had held him back before? The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures nd told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing.

The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1996, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves. The new type of pinepple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the Outside and had a lot of juice inside.

Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple,Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself.But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples,Del Monte turned to law for help,but failed .Those companies argued argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market. 60.We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is ____________.
