Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I have never had before.

All the friends invited were a little  31 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable , or a bad cook , but it’s just that he never  32  more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something  33  for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a  34  table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the  35  for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked  36  at each other---what did he  37 to?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a  38  of carrots , potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next  39  was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just 40 mixture of vegetable.

As we ate we chatted and finally the  41  turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe（食谱）for this,” asked Marina ,“or did you  42  it up?”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked  43 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s  44  choice in what you can find  45  supermarkets.” He replies.

 46  that we had all finished the food , Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually  47  away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of  48 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.

So Ben had  49  provided a decent(不错的) meal for his friends , and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food , but the amount of food thrown away is enough to  50  millions of people.
