Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.
A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is much enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2013, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that
4
they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.
Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her and criticized(批评) the waste of food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:
1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
2. Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.
3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
58. How many people were hungry in the world in 2013 according to the UN World Food Program?
A. 200 million. B. Six million. C. 925 million. D. 625 million. 59. What does the writer want to show us through Li Hong’s story? A. Many Chinese restaurants waste a large amount of food.
B. Many Chinese people are kind-hearted and ready to help the weak.
C. Chinese people feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food. D. Many Chinese people don’t agree with the behavior of wasting food. 60. According to the passage, we shouldn’t waste food because __________.
A. food comes from very hard work B. six million children die of hunger every day C. there is enough food to feed all the people D. Chinese are hospitable and generous 61 Which of the following is a good way to save food?
A. Ordering more than you need at a restaurant. B. Taking home restaurant leftovers. C. Not knowing what you already have at home when shopping. D. Not eating the food you don’t like even if it’s healthy.
D
For many years, scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new---hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in
o
summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50C while it is 27℃ in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city! China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter.
It isn’t easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings.
People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world. 62. The scientists have found .
A. cities become very hot in summer B. Atlanta is the hottest city in America
C. there are not as many storms as before D. it is not as hot on the roof as in the street 63. The way to make the city cooler is to .
A. plant more trees B. try to use air conditioners more
C. build more parks and squares D. paint the roofs of all the white buildings 64. What will probably happen in the future according to the fourth paragraph(段落)?
A. Cities won’t grow very fast B. We will not have enough food
C. Most people will move to the countryside
5
D. People will plant more trees outside the cities 65. What is the best title(题目)for the passage?
A. More Farmland Is Needed B. Trees Make Cities Cooler
C. Cities Are Getting Hotter D. Scientists Are Worried About Storms

Watch where you work A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. Take a break
Most people’s attention (注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people. Get help when you need it
