At the retail level, large quantities of food are rejected 　48　 quality standards that over-emphasize appearance.

Text 1

　 Humans of New York, also known as HONY for short, is a blog owned by a photographer, Brandon Stanton. It has become a beloved social media resource enjoyed by millions around the world.

　 Stanton started to work on HONY when he moved to New York City after giving up a successful career as a stockbroker to do something more fulfilling. He endeavored to photograph 10,000 portraits and plot them on a map of his new home city. This idea has then unexpectedly become Humans of New York.

　 Every day, Humans of New York brings millions of people together to reflect on the stories and photos of strangers. Most photos are shot wherever an interesting subject is encountered by Stanton. The trademark quotations that accompany each HONY portrait are the product of carefully constructed interviews Stanton holds with his subjects. Stanton said he is able to convince people to share personal stories with him through his genuine concern for their wellbeing and his desire to get to know them. It is the story of the human experience that takes center stage. No filters or celebrity influences; just a page dedicated to displaying real thoughts from real humans. For many HONY fans, part of its power is that the posts seem to speak to the universality of the human experience, despite humans' differences.

　 HONY today is not the idea Stanton had five years ago. It is now a project dedicated to not only New Yorkers, but humans of the world. It is a mix of photography and storytelling, a true social media phenomenon, and a powerful force for good. It is the result of what he calls "hundreds of small evolutions." And this evolution is ongoing.

(A) A Brief Introduction to HONY.

　 To make a request, download the official Uber app, and then choose the Ice Cream option. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Uber users can summon ice cream to their location. Once you make your request, you'll be enjoying your dessert within minutes if a vehicle is available. And there is even a one-day-only strawberry flavor specially made for the event.

　 In the past, Uber has had similar campaigns with puppy and kitten deliveries to office buildings, and ice cream is always a welcome back-up when no baby animals are available.
