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.

1.How many people were hungry in the world in 2010 according to the UN World Food Program?

A. 200 million.        B. Six million.            C. 925 million.               D. 625 million.

2.What does the writer want to show us through Li Hong’s story?

A. Many Chinese restaurants waste a large amount of food.      

B. Many Chinese people are kind-hearted and ready to help the weak.

C. Chinese people feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food.

D. Many Chinese people don’t agree with the behavior of wasting food.

3.The underlined word “leftover” means          in Chinese.

A. 过期的                B. 剩余的         C. 腐烂的           D.难吃的

4.According to the passage, we shouldn’t waste food because         .

A. food comes from very hard work

B. six million children die of hunger every day

C. there is enough food to feed all the people

D. Chinese are hospitable and generous

5.Which of the following is a good way to save food?

A. Ordering more than you need at a restaurant.

B. Taking home restaurant leftovers.

D. Not eating the food you don’t like even if it’s healthy.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行证) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.

??? It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine.

A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (难看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.

??? “It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”

??? “Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
