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 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 2010, 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 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 food home for her son. Many people stood by her side 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.How many people were hungry in the world in 2010 according to the UN World Food Program?

According to a recent study，there are about 70，000 blind children in Indonesia．Among them，60 percent were not born blind．Iyehezkiel Parudani is one of them，who lost his eyesight by accident at age six．He now teaches English to blind students at the Pajajaran Special SchooL Iyehezkiel Parudani says learning English can help blind people feel better about themselves．"By learning English，they can be an English teacher，a translator，and a tour guide．"Students read using Braille （盲文）．To write，they use special tools，too．
Iyehezkiel Parudani says blind people should not let their physical disability influence their dreams．In 2008，he got a chance to study at the University of Texas．Two years later，he got a master's degree in course development there．
"In the US，if I go to the university to study，everything is available﹣like e﹣books，Braille books．Here in Indonesia，you know，it's difficult to find a reference book in e﹣book or in Braille．We have to make it ourselves．In the US，I can move wherever I want because everything designed is really accessible for people with blindness．"
Eha Lestari，one of his star students，says learning English has changed her life．She has already traveled to the US with the help of an Indonesia﹣U．S．program．"I study English because I love English very much．I want to be a translator because I want to go to the other countries and then I want to meet some people from around the world．"
Like her classmates，Eha loves to sing．Here，music is part of daily life．Even the students who do not study English can sing some American pop songs，such as Stand By Me，"Stand by me．Please stand，stand by me．Stand by me…"
Iyehezkiel Parudani says the song has special meaning to the students．"In our life，we need other persons．You have to stand by me．Without you standing by me，I'm meaningless．"

The Year of the Goat was a main reason for the low newborns in 2015，a report said．
There were 16.55million babies born in China last year，about 320，000fewer than 2014，the Year of the Horse，it said．
China began to allow couples where one partner was an only child to have a second child in late 2013，which made 11million couples eligible （符合条件的）．
People expected the policy to result in 1million more births compared with 2014．However，that did not happen．There is an old Chinese saying that 9out of 10people born in the Year of the Goat are unlucky in their lives．
It was reported that the decline （下降） was mainly because of the Year of the Goat．China will likely welcome 17.5to 21million newborns yearly in the next five years．
In 2015，the number of women aged 15to 49，considered to be of childbearing age，fell by 5million from 2014，In addition，the group between 20and 29years old，who are main childbearing people，has declined by 1.5million，the report said．
Among babies born last year，the number of first children dropped by 850，000from 2014，or 4.1percent，At the same time，it said．At the same time，the number of the second children increased by 450，000．

I have spent almost a third of my life in china，living and working in this beautiful country．In a sense，China has been and is still my second home But in those past years I had never been to Quzhou．
Some days ago，for the first time in my Chinese life，I stepped into the beautiful city of Quzhou．My impressions of Quzhou city were as I always thought：green countryside，rainy sky，wet air．That was what I imagined for years the south of China would be．When we finally arrived，I was impressed by the elegant （优雅的） city．
Next day we were taken to visit some places not far away from the city．I was not aware of the direction of our short trip，but when we arrived at Lanke mountain and got out of the car，I thought that we had been taken to a fairyland （仙境）：the light rain over the green and thick plants，the silvery sky like a heavy blanket and the mystery （神秘） of this mountain made me feel like being part of a picture．
Jiulong Lake was our next step．The mystic atmosphere （气氛） of this place was so strong that I decided to watch the view standing at the top when I stepped into the small boat to sail upstream．Sometimes we were so close to the mountain that we could clearly see the red soil under the plants．I was thinking of the joy to be in a place like Jiulong Lake and how it would be to live among those hills for a while．
The final leg of the day's journey was a primary school．We were welcomed by the smiles on the faces of many young pioneers．The energy of the hundreds of kids made me feel younger for a while，so educated，so polite and so warm that I had no doubt about the future generations of Quzhou people．The people seem to me the best of Quzhou and they will remain in my memories forever．
