When George Denny hired Mattaliano to care for his three children, he wasn’t expecting to

gain a future business partner. They started Goose Valley Natural Foods to sell the rice grown

on Denny’s farm in Shasta County which today claims to be the world’s largest producer of

organic and natural wild rice.

Mattaliano, who is from Revere, began working for Denny four years after dropping out of

Boston University. She cut short her college education after being severely injured in a car

accident on the way to her parents’ home. She was certain that a wild rice farm Denny owned in

California had big commercial potential.

Denny didn ’ t buy it at first. After all, for years, Denny had been content to sell his rice to a

California company. But Mattaliano saw an opportunity in the growing popularity of natural

and organic foods and kept pushing her idea to Denny. “For six years, we can create a brand of

wild rice,” she told him, “and it will sell.” Slowly, he came around. “Her dedication and energy

were critical to my decision.” Denny said, “Successful entrepreneurs need passion, energy, total

belief in their endeavor, and persistence. And Mattaliano has all of that and more.”

“I told him that I learned the agriculture end of the business, I’d cooked the rice every single

way, I had a lot of practice, I could sell, and I could build him a brand.” said Mattaliano. She

studied 30 New York City supermarkets, interviewed grocers and asked detailed questions about

their preferences. “I worked around the clock, morning, noon and night.”

Now a founding partner, Mattaliano handles research and development, marketing, and sales.

She earns a six-figure salary. “Just over a decade ago, I was cobbling together an income of about

$17,000 rotating through several part-time jobs.” she said, “It was just an idea. And the fact that

he trusted in me is just so cool.”

4. What can we learn about Mattaliano from the first two paragraphs?

A. She was satisfied with tending children. B. She saw promise in wild rice.

C. She graduated from Boston University. D. She got injured on her way to work.

5. Which of the following best explains “Denny didn’t buy it”?

A. Denny didn’t buy the farm. B. Denny showed no interest in farming.

C. Denny didn’t accept the idea. D. Denny didn’t expect a business partner.

6. How did Mattaliano contribute to Goose Valley?

A. She did hands-on research. B. She advertised in supermarkets.

C. She consulted agriculture experts. D. She tried to improve cooking skills.

7. What does Mattaliano’s career story tell us?

A. Well begun is half done. B. Dream big and climb high.

C. Practice makes perfect. D. Actions speak louder than words.

The town of Herringen, in central Germany, is home to a pile of sodium

chloride (table salt), so massive that it has come to be known as Monte Kali,

the world’s largest arti!cial salt mountain.

The origin of Monte Kali can be traced back to the year 1976, when

potash ( 碳酸钾) salt started being extracted from mines around the town of

Hessen. Back then, potash was used to make soap and glass, but today it’s an

important ingredient in fertilizers, rubber, and even medicines, so extraction

strengthened over the last few decades. Sodium chloride, the byproduct, was

poured a few miles from Herringen continuously and created a giant salt mountain.

As of 2017, Monte Kali stands at 530 meters above sea level and covers an area of over 100

hectares. You can see it from anywhere in Herringen and it has become somewhat of a tourist

attraction. In fact, people could pay to ascend to the top as part of a guided tour which took the

average person around 15 minutes.

Although it’s hard to estimate how much salt Monte Kali consists of, its current mass reaches

approximately 236 million tons which can cover as large as 114 football fields and is as heavy as

23,600 Eiffel Towers. And with over 1,000 tonnes being added to it every single hour, it’s only

getting bigger.

A salt mountain of this size in the center of Germany does raise some environmental

questions. Research has found that it has caused the Werra River to become salty, as has the

groundwater in the area. Of the 60 to 100 species that once called the area around Herringen

home, only 3 remain. But the potash industry is really big in the region, accounting for several

thousand jobs. So closing down production isn’t really an option for authorities. The company

operating the mines had its license extended until 2060, and even had its request to expand Monte

Kali by 25 hectares approved in 2020.

8. How did Monte Kali come into being?

A. By designing it as an artificial attraction.

B. By getting an ingredient from a chemical.

C. By handling the byproduct of potash salt.
