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.According to the CCTV program, Chinese people ___________.
| A．save food enough to feed 200 million people for a year |
| B．throw away lots of food every year |
| C．get enough food to feed millions of people every year |
| D．have to feed 200 million hungry people every year |

| B．there were 925 million people in developing countries |
| C．because of hunger, six million children die every year |
| D．there are only a few people getting hungry every year |

| A．all Chinese people are generous |
| B．Chinese people always waste food |
| C．Li Hong got fired because she wasted food |
| D．everyone should get into the habit of saving food |

Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.
There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”.
He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.
The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.
It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.
Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.
Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”According to the passages, travel is good for people because it can .
A、get rid of(摆脱) crime completely

When someone laughs at you, it is called teasing.
Many people are teased. Sometimes your friends tease you just for fun. You can laugh at it and forget about it. But many times the teasing can be harmful. It can make you feel sad. It is harmful when teasing makes you hate yourself.
So, it is important to learn how to deal with teasing. Here are some ways.
Self-talk. Ask yourself, “What is more important --- what they say about me or who I really am?” Of course, who you are is more important! You need to believe in yourself. When you start talking to yourself this way, you will feel more confident.
Ignore(忽视). If you become angry, then the teasers will tease you more. So, simply ignore them. When you don’t 1respond to them, they may stop teasing you.
Turn it into praise. You can turn negative teasing into positive praise. If someone teases you about your hair, you can say, “Thank you for noticing my hair.”
Agree. 2You can agree with the facts because facts are the truth. If someone teases you by saying, “You have curly(卷毛的) hair”, then you can say, “Yes, I have curly hair.” Always remember to smile when you reply this way.
Laugh. You can simply laugh when someone teases you instead of feeling sad. The teasers may be surprised to see you laugh. They might even stop teasing after some time.
Teasing is never a good thing to do. You should not tease others. But when others tease you, you have to learn to deal with it well. You should also always remember that what teasers say when they tease you is not what is true about you. When does teasing become harmful? _________________________________________

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.
