In China, parents often tell their kids not to waste food. However, it's reported that a lot of food is wasted in restaurants every day.
Many people say when they eat out, they usually order a lot of dishes and they can't eat them up. One person in Chengdu, Sichuan Province says he takes away the leftovers. "Usually we'll have some leftovers after meals, because when I invite friends to eat out, I don't know how much they can eat, so I order lots of dishes to make sure everybody has enough food."
While another person in Fuzhou, Fujian Province says she never packs what is left on the dining table. "What I usually experience during eating out is a big meal. I seldom take away the leftovers because we often have other activities after the meals, and it's not convenient to take the leftovers. And when no one suggests taking away leftovers, I won't do so."
Some people say they only take away leftovers when they eat out with family, but not if they eat with friends or colleagues (同事).
Food waste means washing money as well as wasting precious resources (宝贵资源). When food is thrown away, it becomes rubbish and can be harmful to the environment.

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work． A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time． If he is corrected too much， he will stop talking． He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use． Little by little， he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．
In the same way， children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk， run， climb or ride a bicycle． They compare their performances with those of more skilled people， and slowly make the changes． But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself． We do it all for him． We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him， or correct it unless he was made to． Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher． Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．
If it is a matter in math or science， give him the answer book． Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work？ Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer． Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn， how to measure（估量） their own understanding， how to know what they know or do not know．
Let them get on with this job in their ways． School teachers can offer help if they ask for it． Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world． Don't worry! If it is important， they will go out into the world and learn it．

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village．As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped．He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg．No chains，no cages．It was clear that the elephants could，at any time，break away from their ropes but for some reason，they did not．
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away．'Well，'the trainer said，'when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and，at that rage，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they still believe they cannot break away．They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．'
How could it be？These animals could at any time break free from their ropes．But because they always stuck right where they were，they believed they couldn't．
Just like the elephants，how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something，just because we failed at it once before？

Many people have a fear of speaking in front of people． According to a study， it has an influence on 3in every 4people． This fact is surprising and worrying， as most jobs require the speaking ability． The following will help you to make a speech better．
Write note cards． Write main ideas on your cards． Don't write details． Put in some fun facts， questions， and other activities on the cards to share with the class． Don't look at your note cards for a long time while speaking． If necessary， you're only going to have a quick look at the card for information， not read every word．
Smile at your class． When it comes to speaking， there's nothing that draws your class into your speech better than a good old﹣fashioned smile． Be happy， because you're about to teach your class something they didn't know before． Studies have shown that smiles are infectious． That means once you smile， it's hard for everyone else not to smile． So if you want your speech to go off well， smile． That'll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile．
Make eye contact． Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or note cards． Relax． Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time． Talk the same way now． Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once． That way， everyone will feel like you're communicating with them． Also， you'll look like you know what you're talking about．

It was a Christmas night． I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival． When I was complaining（抱怨）about it， three people appeared at my desk ﹣ a tired woman and two children．
"Are you all sick？" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right．
"Yes，" the woman answered weakly and lowered her head．
But when they started to present their problems， things became unclear． One child had a fever， but his temperature was OK． The other child had an earache， but she could not tell me which ear hurt． It seemed that the mother was pretending to cough．
Something was wrong．But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them． "Take your time， please，" said the mother． I checked their charts ﹣ no address． Suddenly I knew， they were homeless while the hospital was warm．
The family huddled（蜷缩）together under the Christmas tree， smiling and talking with each other sweetly． Quietly， I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room． It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day． The nurses' station suddenly came back to life． All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency（急诊）"．
We took out our meals for our Christmas "patients"． We also put together oranges and apples as presents． We tried to exceedthe needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night．Later， the little girl kissed me and said， "Thanks for being our angel（天使）．"
