The next generation of barcodes, such as QR codes, can hold more information. “ They can tell consumers if a product contains allergens (过敏原) or if it is organic (有机的) .

Most people change because of some experiences. So do I. I had some unforgettable experiences in high school. They have taken me from what I used to be like to what I am like now.
In the past, I was quiet and shy. I never talked with others about what was in my mind. That was because I was afraid that someone would laugh at or criticize (批评) me. I paid too much attention to what others thought and didn’t care about my own thought. I liked staying at home because I felt safe there. When nobody was around, I would finally write about my feelings on the Internet.
However, I changed a lot in the second year in high school. My teachers and friends treated me really well. They didn’t laugh at me even if I made mistakes. I didn’t realize that it was normal for everyone to fail until then.
Now I am no longer afraid to give my opinions. When there’s a chance, I will let the world know how I feel. I’m now also more self-confident than before. I’m really thankful to my teachers and friends for their help.
33．The writer used to be quiet and serious.

My Beautiful Hometown
Dear editor,
It is my great honor to tell you something about my beautiful hometown.
In the old days, people used to live in small and broken houses. But now most people live in apartments in tall buildings. My grandparents told me that they had to take desks and chairs from their homes to school and the classroom windows were broken with no glass, but now the most beautiful places are schools, and the classrooms are wide and bright. There didn’t use to be any hospitals in the countryside, and people had to go a long way to see a doctor. Now doctors come to every family to give physical examinations.
There is no doubt that our hometown will become more and more beautiful. I am proud of my motherland.
Yours,
Li Ming
