• 3．It's no surprise that wasting things is a nightmare for the environment -everything that we eat，wear，and consume takes up natural resources.When it comes to food waste，the environment has a double whammy -water，packaging，transportation，and agricultural resources get used up，and leftover sandwich or expired（過期的）broccoli you bought in hopes of healthy eating releases greenhouse gases as it decomposes in a landfill.
     A new study from the UN Environment Program has found that a fair amount of food may never reach our mouth.Some get lost in production process，but it is mostly households that are to blame：the major waste results from our kitchen.11 percent of the food in our fridges ends up in the trash，compared to a mere 2 and 5 percent respectively，from grocery stores and fast-food restaurants.These data madden almost half of the world's population who are still struggling for healthy food.But surprisingly，the new study found that even less-developed countries are guilty of astonishing food waste，which is previously being thought of only as a rich-nation issue.
     So what can we do？Something crucial is being more considered and prepared when going to the grocery store.Make a list of meals you want to cook，and then only buy fresh produce that you will 100 percent be eating in the next few days.
     Societally，enhancing education on food preservation，food recycling and composting（堆肥），and pushing companies to sell smaller quantities food for one or two persons could all play a helpful role in bringing down the massive pile of food waste，says Edward Jaenicke，a professor of agricultural economics.
     While some climate change related issues seem above our individual choices to solve，like the sea level rise，food waste is something we can actually make an impact on，by shopping smart，learning how to compost，and even getting creative with ingredients in the kitchen.We can actually make a difference by making some efforts or good choices or even changes in life.
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "whammy" in paragraph 1 mean？

  
  A．Solution.
  B．Responsibility.
  C．Trouble.
  D．Advantage.
  （2）Which of the following sees the most serious food waste？

  
  A．Grocery stores.
  B．Home kitchens.
  C．Fast-food restaurants.
  D．Production workshops
  （3）What unexpected result does the new study find？

  
  A．Poor countries are also wasting lots of food.
  B．Food waste in developed countries is serious.
  C．The economy determines the degree of waste.
  D．Sufficient food supply remains a big challenge.
  （4）Which suggestion may be a solution to food waste according to the text？

  
  A．Improve food sale strategies
  B．Educate students to avoid junk food.
  C．Buy what you eat and eat what you buy
  D．Hand out strict punishment for food waste.

• 9．At the beginning of the new term，a teacher at Ringrose Kindergarten decided to do something different to choose "the Excellent Kid" of this term.One day the teacher brought a bag of boiled seeds，and then called the kids together，and said， "I am going to give each one of you a seed today，a very special seed.You are to plant the seed，water it and come back here at the end of this term with what you have grown from the seed you bring to me，and the one I choose will be "the Excellent Kid".
      Like the others，a boy named James received a seed.He went home and told his mother the story excitedly.She helped him get a pot and soil，and he planted the seed.Evert day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.After about three weeks，some of the other kids began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
      James kept checking his seed，but nothing grew.Four weeks，five weeks went by，still nothing.By now，others were all talking about their plants，but James didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.

      A term finally went by.All the kids brought their plants to the teacher for inspection.James told his mother he wasn't going to take an empty pot.But she encouraged him to go，and to be honest about what happened.James felt restless because it would be the most embarrassing moment of his life，but he knew his mother was right.
