Food waste has become a big problem in China.
Zhou Jinsong, a canteen(食堂) manager at Central South University, said that students produce over 12 barrels(桶) of leftovers every day —each barrel stands at one meter in height. Zhou’s canteen is just one of several on the campus.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people equates to about 50 million tons of grain every year, or 10 percent of the c ountry’s total annual grain production. This food could feed another 200 million people. What students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly know how hard farmers work to provide them with the food they eat.
“Since the 1980s, when Chinese gradually became richer, food waste has been a subject of debate. But things have hardly changed over the years,” said Yu Changjiang, a sociologist at Peking University. “It’s the Chinese way o f showing respect to friends, often referred as Mianzi.”
But rather than tradition, huge public spending on government banquets(宴会) is also causing food waste, said Zhou Xiaozheng from the sociology department at Renmin University of China. “It’s the result of widespread reception meals at government levels. It is also important that everyone thi nks about how they can do their best to reduce food waste.”( )1. Which of the following statements is not the reasons for food waste?
A. Students hardly know farmers’ hard work on the farm.
B. The government spends a large amount of money on government banquets.
C. Leaving some food after a banquet is the Chinese way to show respect to guests.
D. The food in the college canteen is not delicious.
( )2. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. In a newspaper.
B. In a traffic report.
C. On a health website.
D. In a story book.
B
You either have it, or you don’t－a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of dire ction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder
at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
●If you are using a map, turn it so that it relates to(与……有联系) the way you are facing.
●If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or
a tree－something easy to recognize. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your
bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
●Simplify(简化) the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a
town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as towerblocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.
Now you will never get lost again!
( )3. Children have the ability to find the way around when they are ______ years old.
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
( )4. Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks?
A. Tower blocks.
B. Hills.
C. Wells.
D. Bikes.
( )5. What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?
A. To give special importance to something.
B. To express thanks for somebody.
C. To understand or become aware of a fact.
D. To admire somebody.
( )6. Scientists believe that __________.
A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody has a sense of direction from birth
( )7. What may be the best title of the passage?
A. A research on direction.
B. A sense of direction.
C. People’s ability of finding the way.
D. Scientists’ research on skills.

As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack.
In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually(随便地) in Eastern Europe, so you don’t need to bring along your smartest clothing.
Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don’t exist in Eastern Europe, and those tha t do often don’t last very long.
Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills($1and $5) to use
in hard–currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard–currency stores never seem to have the right change.
Electric Current Adapter(转换器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the sta ndard 110 volts of North America.
A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug.
Language Tools: One of Europe’s big gest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go —you won’t find them once you are in Eastern Europe.
Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is mad e by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 –9399, or toll free 800/874 – 9925) outside California.
Traveler’s Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler’s checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.
( )8. How many tips are mentioned in the passage?
A. 6
B. 7
C. 8
D. 9
( )9. Which of the following things may be the biggest challenge in Eastern Europe?
A. Appliances.
B. Money.
C. Language.
D. Clothes.
( )10. Which of the following statements is NOT a fact according to the passage?
A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.
B. Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.
C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C.
D. Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.
( )11. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To tell you it’s not easy to stay in Eastern Europe.
B. To give you some advice on what you should pack when you’re in Eastern Europe.
C. To tell you something about the life in Eastern Europe.
D. To show you the life in Eastern Europe is different from that in your country.
( )12. What do the underlined words “change”and “check”probably mean according to the 2. [V] to exchange money into the money of another
