Most of us have three meals a day .We take food for granted(想当然)。And we don’t think about it. experts argue a food crisis(危机)is coming.This crisis is going to make us the way we think about food.
Food is in great need a growing of world population.By 1960,the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050,this planet will need to at least nine billion people.As a result,the food prices get higher and higher.
So,what can a ,crowed world do?One suggestion is to eat meat.Meat uses more natural resources(资源)than grains(谷物) .It requires more to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more than vegetables. So ,eating less meat will more land for farming,and it will save water.
To eats less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be .Americans, for example,have loved meat. In general, They eat twice as much meat as people in other countries.At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years. will double again by 2050.Growing need of meat wil1 to put pressure on natural resources.
World population is increasing,resources are becoming fewer,and food prices are rising.Therefore, we need to rethink we eat every day. For meat lovers, we don’t need to give up meat .But we need to eat more grains and less meat.21cnjy

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and at weekends they are free and _ themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others __ sports. This is decided by their own _ .
There are many different ways to spend our ___ time.
Almost everyone has some kind of __ : it may be something from collecting stamps to___ model planes. Some hobbies are very __ , but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth _ of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several _ dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece which _ him ＄250! He was very happy about this collection and thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are quite valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I think. It is something we like to do in our free time just for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
