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!

The world has a plastics problem． And not just with bottles． Straws（吸管）， toothbrushes， toys﹣all kinds of plastics are placed in landfills． There are 5 billion tons of plastic waste in the world． Landfills have a large part of it． By 2050， they could have 13 billion tons．
Much of plastic rubbish finds its way into the ocean． Scientists say 165 million tons of plastic pieces are floating around out there． And most plastic won't disappear itself． It will remain in the ocean forever． Whales get caught in plastic fishing nets． Birds die because of eating plastic straws and bottle caps． It endangers ocean life． Plastic rubbish even ends up in the food we eat．
Governments are realizing that recycling may not be enough． They are taking more actions． Though it is hard work， it is still a solvable problem． In Britain， people are not allowed to use plastic bags except in hospitals． Scotland and several coastal cities in the US stop people from using plastic straws as well． The US alone throws away some 500 million plastic straws a day． That's enough to circle the Earth twice． "Saying no to a plastic straw is an easy way to make a big difference，" Dana Lofflin who started said． "Do we really want to pass on to our children a world harmed by plastic？"
People have found some tasty ways to reduce waste． A company in India made the first﹣ever spoon that people can eat． You don't have to eat the spoon． You can throw it away． It decomposes（分解） in just a few days． David Edwards， a scientist at Harvard University， designed an eatable bag which can protect the food or drink inside． It is a delicious replacement for plastic ones．

A Better Way to Start Your Day
Whether you love mornings or not， they're a fact of life． If you hate them， here are some ways to make them less awful． If you're a morning person， these tips can make mornings even better!
（1） ． Be sure to get an adequate （足够的） amount of sleep． Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep to feel their best during the day． If you must get up at 5 or 6 a．m．， go to bed early to get your eight hours． Turn off the TV， computer or smart phone and hit the hay． When you get enough sleep， you won't feel sleepy． You can get out of bed on time． That will make your day better， too．
Turn on some music in the morning． Play any tunes you like． It doesn't matter． （2） ．You'll feel much happier as you start the day．
（3） ． As your mother said， breakfast is the most important meal of the day． Your body is out of fuel （燃料） by morning． You need some to help you control your blood﹣sugar． That affects your mood（情绪） and energy for the day．
Don't watch TV or read a newspaper first thing in the morning．Your brain is fresh and ready to work on new things． Don't fill it up with negative （消极的） information about the world and its problems． Instead， read something inspiring（鼓舞人的） or uplifting．（4） ．
Avoid answering QQ or WeChat first thing． Use that precious （宝贵的） morning time to get some exercise， eat breakfast and enjoy life． Check QQ or WeChat last before you leave your house． Then you'll only have time to check the most important messages．（5） ．
Every day is a new day﹣enjoy it!
A． A good breakfast can make your day． B． Your day will start better if you take time for the important things． C． A good morning starts the night before． D． Just turn on something that makes you feel good． E． This will give you positive thoughts to start your day． |
Populations of white﹣tailed deer（白尾鹿） are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States． As populations grow， food becomes a problem． Many deer die of hunger．Others grow up small and unhealthy． In search of food， hungry deer move closer to where humans live． They eat farm crops， vegetables and even trees． Besides， increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents．
People admire the grace and fast speed of deer． Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill． Should people take action to control the growing deer populations？
Should People Take Direct Action？
Many people think that hunting （打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations． Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）． Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer． Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs， however．
Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places． But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem．
Scientists are also working to develop chemicals to control the birth rate in deer populations． But this plan works for only one year at a time．
Should People Take Indirect Action？
Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer， such as wolves， lions and bears， to areas with too many deer． But these animals could also hurt dogs， cats， and even humans．Other communities have built tall fences around areas to keep out the deer．However， this is impossible for farmers．
Some people are against any kind of action， They support leaving the deer alone．Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time． Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness． But finally， the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment．So， let nature go its own way．
（1）According to the passage， increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area．
A． water pollution
B． traffic accidents
C． serious illnesses
D． growing populations
（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the " " in the passage？
A． Should People do Nothing？
B． Should People protect the Deer？
C． Should People Take Special Action？
D． Should People Drive the Deer Away？
（3）The writer most probably agrees that ．
A． farmers can build fences to keep the deer out
B． people should leave the deer alone in the wild
C． hunting is the best way to control the deer populations
D． it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places
（4）The writer organizes this passage by ．
A．telling stories
B．using numbers
C．giving opinions
D．describing scenes

In 1988，Wang Chengbang retired（退休）from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life，he volunteered to save the soil from desertification（沙漠化）by planting trees in Korla，Xinjiang.
It is no easy job.The high temperature in Korla makes it difficult for anyone to work day after day in the sunshine.Besides，water is a big problem.In fact，Wang Chengbang's work in the first few years failed as very few trees survived（存活）.
But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways，I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way，" said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work，more and more trees have survived.So far，he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification，make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now，Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.
Now，at the age of 85，Wang Chengbang is still working.
（1）Is it an easy job for Wang Chengbang to plant trees？
（2）How many trees has Wang Chengbang planted so far？
（3）What is Wang Chengbang successful in？

Do video games do harm to our children？Today，many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet.In the UK，99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video games every week.This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.
For many people，video games are fun.They have bright lights，funny cartoons and exciting stories.Everywhere you look，you can see children playing these games.They play on buses and trains，in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too.They make kids think in a creative way and theyhave to move their hands and eyes quickly.This can improve the way that a child's brain works.What's more，video games make children use their imagination.The player has to do many creative things，like drawing，telling stories and building things.Video games are also a good way to teach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However，a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children.First，children can download many games for free.This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games.Second，many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems.Third，if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework，they can have problems at school and get bad grades.Finally，video games can affect children's social skills.If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves，they might not learn how to play with their friends.
In conclusion，it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages.It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them.Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer （癌症）：their noses!Researchers at California's Pine Street Foundation （PSF） say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a prison's breath.This could be exciting news.
A dog's sense of smell may be 10，000 to 100，000 times stronger than ours.But can dogs really smell illness？PSF researcher Michael McCulloch says yes. "We were very surprised by how exact they were，" he said. "They were telling who had cancer，and they were also saying who didn't."
McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into plastic tubes （塑料管）.Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each breath.The tubes were then placed one yard apart.Finally the dogs were allowed to smell the tubes.Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer.Ninety﹣nine percent of the time，the dog sat next to the tubes blown into by patients with lung cancer.The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast cancer.
| Dogs in the Pine Street Foundation test were trained to sit when they smelled cancer.How well did they perform？Take a look at this chart to find out. |
||
| Breath Sample |
Number of Times the Dogs Sat Down |
Number of Times the Dogs Kept Standing |
| Breath from lung cancer patients |
564 |
10 |
| Breath from healthy persons |
4 |
720 |
No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this test.The results are so amazing that many experts question the dogs' smelling power.They wonder if there were other reasons why the dogs did so well.For example，they thought the way the dog trainers behaved could have influenced how the dogs acted.However，most experts agree that this study is important.The information could help scientists create a simple breath test for cancer in the future.Once again humans may be getting a helping paw or nose﹣from their best animal friends.

The world uses about a thousand million （百万） tons of water a day． Water is a human right and everyone should have their share． Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean， safe water．
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us． And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans． 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all， and it is running into oceans．
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater．
While 75% of our planet is covered with water， only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers， lakes， ice and snow． The rest， 98% of the water， is in seas and oceans． It is too salty to drink． Then desalinationbusinesses come in． More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world， mostly in coastal countries． They process（加工） more than 92 million tons of water every day． But the technology they use requires a lot of energy．
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology． They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough． But for now， the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone．

In the year of 2020， the coronavirus（新冠病毒）out broke（爆发）all over the world． A lot of people suffered from（遭受……折磨）a fever or a cough． Don't be afraid． Here is some advice to help you protect yourself．
Wash your hands． You need to wash your hands with soap and water before you eat， after you use the toilet， and after you touch animals， because your hands may carry viruses （病毒）．Cover your nose and mouth． When someone sneezes（打喷嚏）or coughs，the viruses can travel as far as one meter through the air，so you'd better stand a proper distance while talking to someone who has a cold． And always cover your mouth and nose with a piece of paper when you sneeze or cough，and then clean your hands． Wear a mask（口罩）． Some doctors say that masks can stop the virus as much as 80%， but if you don't wash your hands often， it's no use wearing a mask． So it's necessary to wear the mask in the groups of people．
Do sports often． Exercises will help make your body strong enough to resist（抵抗）the virus．
