Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work (誰知盤中餐，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(批評) the waste of food.

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

1. Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

2. Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

3. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.

1.How many people were hungry around the world in 2013 according to the UN World Food Program?

A. 200 million. B. 6 million.

C. 925 million. D. 952 million.

2.What does the writer want to show us through Li Hong’s story?

A. Many Chinese restaurants waste a lot of food.

B. Many Chinese people are kind and ready to help the weak.

C. Chinese people feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food.

D. Many Chinese people don’t agree with the behavior(行為) of wasting food.

3. According to the article, we shouldn’t waste food because .

A. food comes from hard work

B. Chinese are hospitable and generous

C. there is enough food to feed all the people

D. six million children die of hunger every day

4.Which of the following is a good way to save food?

A. Taking restaurant leftover food home.

B. Not eating the healthy food you don’t like.

C.Ordering more than you need at a restaurant.

D. Not knowing what you already have at home when shopping.

The haze(霧霾) 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(顆粒物) 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.
