According to the finding of a new UN report,the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year.That's about 1,030,000,000 tons,or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking.Food services,such as restaurants,produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店)and other stores 13% "We thought waste was a problem in rich countries," says Martina Otto,who works for the UN Environment Program.
"However,the new report finds,food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor."
Each year,some 690,000,000 people go hungry.At the same time,about 10% of all CO2 on the Earth is from the activities that produce the food waste.Control on food waste can help deal with hunger and cut down that pollution.It is helpful to both people and the planet.By avoiding wasting food,we can save money and time.More importantly,we can help protect the Earth's most valuable resources (资源).
Then what can we do to stop food waste?Small actions make a difference.Each of us can play a part.Next time,before you throw,think twice!

Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019?It was climate(气候) change, according to three well﹣known English dictionaries.
The Oxford, Colls and Cambridge dictionaries chose"climate emergency", "climate strike" and"upcycling", respectively, as their"Word of the Year".This tells us that climate change was a widely﹣discussed issue(话题) in 2019.
"Climate emergency"means a situation in which urgent action is needed to reduce climate change."Climates strike" refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment."Upcycling"refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.
Climate change has already affected the world in many ways.Take Venice, for example.Due to climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding(洪水) it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019.Many stores,restaurants and hotels were flooded.This caused serious damage toting hundreds of millions of euros(欧元).
A though we've known about global warming(全球变暖) for a long time, people have been slow to respond to it.The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage us to take responsibility.
"Ten years ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the influences could be seen as an issue for future generations(子孙后代) , "Katharine, a climate scientist, told The New York Times."It's no doubt our issue now."
However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat(威胁) is not enough.We must take real action before it is too late.

A thousand years ago, Hong Kong was covered by a thick forest. As more and more people came to live in Hong Kong, these trees were cut down and burnt. Now there is no forest left, though there are still some small areas covered with trees. We call these woods.
Elephants, tigers and many other animals were living in the thick forest. When people came to live in Hong Kong, the animals began to die out. Early farmers grew rice and kept pigs and chickens in the valleys. They cut down the trees and burnt them.They needed fire to keep themselves warm in winter,to cook their food and to keep away the dangerous animals. Elephants quickly disappeared because there was not enough food for them. Many other animals soon died in the same way.
You might think that there are no longer any animals in Hong Kong except in 2005. But there are still about 36 different animals living there. One of the most interesting of Hong Kong's animals is the barking deer. These are beautiful little animals with a rich brown coat and a white patch under the tail.They look like deer but they are much smaller. They are less than two feet high. They make a noise rather like a dog barking. In Hong Kong the barking deer has only a real enemy﹣ men.People hurt these little animals though it is illegal, There are now not many barking deer left.

Second﹣hand smoke is the smoke that comes from the smoker's breath.If people breathe in second﹣hand smoke from time to time,they could get sick from it.It can cause lung cancer(肺癌)and many other diseases.
But how serious is the problem of the second﹣hand smoke?The World Health Organization(WHO) did a study of 194 countries.They found that second﹣hand smoke causes about 600,000 deaths every year.That is about 1% of the world death and it leads to a lot of trouble and pain.
Second﹣hand smoke is especially harmful to children because their bodies are growing.According to a study,around 165,000 children under 5 die each year because of second﹣hand smoke.Most of these deaths happened in Africa and Southem Asia where health care is very poor.

Recently, China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate(天然气水合物即,可燃冰), from the seabed in the shenhu area of the South China Sea. It produces high amount of energy when it is burned, leaving nothing but dioxide and water.
Many countries, including the United States and Japan, have long been doing research on methane hydrate, but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing.According to reports.China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16,000 m 3 daily. It is believed to be a big breakthrough.
Scientists say there is about 21, 000 trillion( 万亿 )3 of methane hydrate in the world. If we can use it, it can meet the world's energy need for 1, 000 years. However, it is too early to say a new energy source (来源 ) has been found because we are still facing two main challenges﹣environmental risk and economic(经济的)cost. When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed, it may go into the air easily. That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases, Besides, drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well.
However, China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take. It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy.
(1)What is Paragraph I mainly about ?
A. China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice
B. China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country
C. China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed
D. China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy
(2)What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice?
A. How to take it out from the bottom of the sea
B. How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost.
C. How to make it cheap on the future energy market.
D.How to change it into a traditional form of energy.
(3)Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found?
A. Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it.
B. Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment.
C. Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy
D.Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment
(4)Where can we probably read the article?
A.In a storybook.
B.In a newspaper.

Many cities run campaigns(运动)to get people to stop wasting water. They show them ways they can cut back on water use. (2) What's more, they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use. For example, they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water. (3)
Another threat(威胁)to our water supply is pollution. When our sources of fresh water get polluted, we can no longer use this water. This also endangers(危及) the animals that depend on the water.
(4) We can save lots of water by not letting taps(水龙头) run while we brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands. By collecting cold water when were taking warm showers, we can also save water. (5) In this way, we can make full use of water.
A. However, just how much is too much?
B. There are several things we can do to save water.
C. Finally, they make laws to control the use of water.
D. We don't have to let the cold water run until it gets warm.
