Keep More Food on the Table

It’s said that in some parts of the world, people are facing the problem of hunger. So what can we do to help them? Here are some suggestions:

Cook from the fridge

Start with the fresh foods. If you have some in the fridge, use them first. Make a meal with what you have got instead of running out to the supermarket for something else.

Learn to read the labels

“Best-before” and “use-by” dates are more important. Learn to know the different periods of foods and know how to cook them in the right way. For example, black bananas are proper for baking, fresh vegetables are good in soups, and bread that is not fresh can be turned into small pieces.

Use the freezer(冷凍室)

The freezer can keep foods fresh until you are ready to cook them, and store the cooked foods until you’re ready to eat them. It’s also the best place for the remaining food. Mark the date of the food nearby, so it’s easy to find the foods you need to eat first and you will never leave them there for too long.

Shop with a list

Plan meals ahead of time so that you know exactly what to buy. Doing this helps reduce food waste because it’s possible to buy too much of a certain food and then forget to eat or cook it later.

Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste? Believe it or not, that’s exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015.

During the meal, the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown-away vegetables and fruits. Chef Dan Barber, who helped create the meal, hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue of food waste.

It is a huge problem. One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food. Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!

Why is so much food wasted? Firstly, food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced, or because it is not kept properly in farms. Secondly, shops and supermarkets usually throw away unsold food. Finally, customers often buy more food than they need, so a lot of uneaten food is wasted.

How can you waste less food? When eating out, you may ask for less food and take home what is left. Visit fast food restaurants less often, since they are usually more wasteful. Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks.

You can also waste less food at home. Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice. Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.

Food waste is a growing problem and we, either farmers or food sellers or customers, must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help.

1.What did world leaders do at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015?

A. They threw away food as waste during the meal.

B. They made dishes with waste vegetables and fruits

C. They ate food made with waste vegetables and fruits.

D. They helped Chef Dan Barber create the special meal.

2.The underlined word "issue" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.

A. result

B. problem

C. cause

D. beginning

3.The writer organizes Paragraph 4 by asking a question and ______.

A. giving examples

B. using numbers

C. listing reasons

D. telling a story

4.Which way of wasting less food is mentioned in the passage?

A. Buying unsold food from supermarkets.

B. Keeping food properly in a fridge.

C. Using smaller rice bowls when eating out.

D. Asking for less food in restaurants.

As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish,and you feed him for a lifetime.”This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (國際小母牛慈善組織)wants to end world hunger.

It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they needed was“not a cup, but a cow”.

Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was set up.

On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources(資源) for programs run by Heifer International to help more families.

The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female(雄性) baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals health and feeding. And these farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.

However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on

working together, helping each other and learning from each other. Maybe hunger can really be stopped.

1.According to the passage, we know that Dan West .

A. set up a team in Spain B. helped people with enough fish

C. was a Spanish farmer D. helped set up Heifer International

2.Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the charity organization Heifer International?

B. Farmers in the program must teach others how to feed animals.

D. Heifer Intermational provides training on animals' health and feeding.

3.If we put the passage into four parts, which of the following is the best?

（①=Para.1 ②=Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤= Para.5 ⑥= Para.6）

A. ①；②③；④⑤；⑥ B. ①；②③；④；⑤⑥

C. ①②；③；④⑤；⑥ D. ①②③；④；⑤；⑥

4.The best title of this passage may be“ ”

A. Advice on Feeding Cows B. A Cow Instead of a Cup

C. The Charity Organizations D. An American Farmer
