On Feb 21, a special Chinese “diplomat (外交官)”, Bao Bao the panda, arrived in China from the United States. Many people in the US found it hard to say goodbye to her and were at the airport to see her leave. Bao Bao was born at the National Zoo in Washington DC in 2013. Her parents are Tian Tian and Mei Xiang. They went to the US in 2000. “We have watched Bao Bao grow up during the past three years,” said Dennis Kelly, the zoo director. “We’re going to miss her so much.” In fact, the zoo has been preparing for Bao Bao to leave since the moment she was born. That’s because under the agreement between China and other countries, all the pandas born outside China must return home by the time they are four years old. The flight took nearly 16 hours. A zookeeper and a doctor were on the plane together with Bao Bao. To make her comfortable, the zoo put bamboo and other snacks on the plane. Now, Bao Bao is at her new home in Chengdu. She will start a new life there. Back to 1972, China first sent two pandas to the US as gifts. Right now, four zoos in the US have pandas from China. The pandas play an important role in the friendship between the two countries. Of course the US is not the only country with pandas. There were 44 pandas living in different countries around the world last year, reported Xinhua. 1.The people in the US _________ when Bao Bao left the US.

Bobby was preparing to go to bed one night when he heard a shrill screech(尖叫) coming from the barn(牲口棚) outside. What could be making such a loud noise so late in the evening? He had trouble falling asleep and turned all night long dreaming about the noisy monster in the barn. When Bobby woke the next morning, he ran to the barn to discover what caused the loud noise last night. Bobby was baffled. He could not figure out what would make such a noise. That evening after dinner, Bobby gathered his courage, held a flashlight and headed out to the barn. “Where are you going?” Bobby’s father asked as Bobby made his way through the kitchen to the back door. “I am going to find the monster in the barn that was making such a noise last night,” Bobby replied bravely. “If you are going to look for a monster, you might need some help,” Bobby’s dad responded as he walked with Bobby out to the barn. “What did this monster sound like?” Bobby’s dad asked. “It was a screeching noise,” Bobby said, “and it was coming from the barn. I know it!” Bobby’s dad began to smile as they went near the barn, and he took the flashlight from Bobby. Shining the flashlight up at the roof of the barn, Bobby and his dad saw a small brown owl in the roof. “It was only a barn owl that you heard last night,” Bobby’s dad said. “They are active in the night so that is why you only heard him at night. He must have been hunting.” Bobby was relieved that it wasn’t really a monster. He thanked his dad as they walked back to the house.

D ①Supermarkets only sell food before its “sell-by” date. So where does food past its “sell-by” date go? The answer is in the trash bin. Besides shops, people also cast away a lot of food when they buy too much and can’t eat it up. To stop food waste, people have come up with great ideas. Take a look and try to join the action! ②Set up food banks. When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world’s first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants. It’s free for anyone to enjoy. ③Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves (货架) in special cafes. There, the food has no price label (标签). You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly. ④Buy less. When there’s no food bank around, what can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less (无托盘). It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash. 1.The underlined words “cast away” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____. A. put away B. take away C. give away D. throw away 2.Which of the following is true according to the article? A. People need to pay for food from “share fridge”. B. Dining without trays helps to reduce food waste and save water. C. Fifty percent of American restaurants are going tray-less. D. The food in the Real Junk Food Project is free for anyone. 3.How does the writer organize the writing？ A. 4.What’s the main purpose of the writing? A. To show how important the food bank is. B. To introduce some ways of stopping food waste. C. To ask people to buy food past its “sell-by” date. D. To discuss where the food past its “sell-by” date goes.
