Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation ---- and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盘行动”).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste.
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Chinese people are famous for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food.
The campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.

根据短文内容，判断正误．正确的填"T"，错误的填"F"．
To me， life would be boring without music． I realize that it is not true for everybody． Many people get along quite well without going to the concerts， and listening to the CDs． But music plays an important part in everyone's life， whether he realizes it or not． Try to imagine， for example， what films or TV plays would be like without music． Would the feeling， the moving story， and the greatest interests， be so exciting？ I'm not sure about it．
Now， we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning- the kind of music we hear in the concert hall． But if we look at some parts of music more closely， we discover them in our everyday life， too-in the sound of the sea， the singing of a bird in the woods and so on． So music surely has meaning for everyone． And， of course， it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music．
It is well side， "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty， expresses himself from his heart， feels the joy of doing things alone， learns to take care of others， develops his mind and makes his body strong．"
（1）Music is very important in my life．
（2）Some people don't realize the importance of music．
（3）Music can't be found everywhere in everyday life．
（4）Music has meaning， especially for musicians．
（5）The writer talked mainly about the development of music．
American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact， there are some important differences between British English and American English．
（1） Often， Americans don't say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know"．Or they may say "Whaddya say？" instead of "What did you say？" However， the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．（2） Americans drive trucks， but in England people drive lorries．
（3） In England， if you are going to telephone your friends， you "phone them up"．In America， you "give them a call"．
There are also some differences in grammar．For example， Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question．They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb．（4）
Most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places， the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．（5） Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．
A． English is widely used in China．
B． It can also happen to other languages， such as French．
C． For example， the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．
D． They say "Have you a storybook？"
E． English in these two counties is different only in sound．
F． First of all， they sound very different．
G． Many expressions are also different in the two countries．
Working as a vet （兽医）， I met a family who taught me an unforgettable lesson． They came to my clinic with their dying dog Coco． I examined Coco and found he was old and had a serious illness． I told the family we couldn't do anything for Coco， and euthanasia （安乐死） would be best for the dog．
On that day， they little boy Eric seemed so calm ， petting the old dog for the last time， that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on．
The little boy seemed to accept Coco's death without any difficulty． We sat together for a while after Coco's death， explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives．
Eric， who had been listening quietly， piped up： "I know why．"
He said， "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life-like loving everybody and being nice， right？" The six-year-old continued， "Well， animals already know how to do that， so they don't have to stay as long．"
I'd never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short． It has changed the way I live． I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away， so I try to live my life to the fullest．
