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 much 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 2013, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are famous 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 got to know the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(解雇) because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. Many people stood by her and criticized(批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:

Naturally, American schoolchildren love holidays. And they get a lot of them each year. Besides having national holidays such as Thanksgiving and Presidents’ Day off from school, students get longer breaks in the spring and during the summer holidays. In fact, kids in the US only go to school for about 180 days a year. To students, holidays are perfect. However, parents think there are advantages(益处) and disadvantages.

On one hand, school holidays allow families to spend time together. Many American parents take time off from work during June, July or August to travel with their children on vacation either in the US or in a foreign country. On the other hand, schoolchildren get much more time off school than parents get vacation time. This means that parents with young children may have to pay more in babysitting(托婴服务) or daycare costs. As well, the long summer holidays mean that students sometimes get bored.

Besides going on trips with their parents, American students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during the holidays. For example, some kids enjoy summer camps and outdoor adventure (冒险) holidays. Such trips are great for adventurous students. They also have a lot to offer students who aren’t usually interested in traditional PE activities. You can do courses in survival skills, for example, students learn how to make a camp in the forest, which wild food they can eat and how to find their way back to the center.

Students who are not excited about summer camps and outdoor adventure may take part in courses in computer game design, film-making and photography during the holidays. Finally, the traditional school trip to foreign countries is always popular. Students can practice their foreign language skills and experience everyday life in a different culture.

1.How long are kids in the US at school every year?

A. About 180 days.               B. About 200 days.

C. About 280 days.               D. About 300 days.

2.What does the underlined word “They” refer to (指) in Paragraph 3?

A. Parents.

B. Different traditional PE activities.

C. Some kids.

D. Summer camps and outdoor adventures.

3.The underlined word “survival” means “________” in Chinese.

A. 日常          B. 原始          C. 生存          D. 奇特

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Both parents and students think school holidays are perfect.

B. Parents can take care of their young children during all the holidays.

C. Students enjoy taking part in different kinds of activities during holidays.

D. Students don’t like to have school trips to foreign countries during holidays.

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. School trips in the US.

B. School holidays in the US.

C. School activities in the US.

D. Outdoor adventure in the US.

The haze(雾霾) season is back. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “smog”. The word “smog”is from the words “smoke” and “fog”. It first appeared in the early 20th century. It is a kind of air pollution (污染) caused mostly by cars and factories.

Smog will not be good for your health, especially lungs (肺). It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.

1. Don’t do exercise in the open air.

Exercising in the open air makes you breathe (呼吸) deeply, and you will take in the particles(颗粒物) deep into your lungs.

2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.

If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day. You can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.

3. Wear a mask.

Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.

4. Change your diet.

Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, noses and lungs. So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit every day. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat. It’s not good for your lungs.

The   1. weather
