    There is a National Health Service in Britain. People usually call it "the NHS". When people are ill, they can get free treatment（治疗）. ① The government pays for the treatment. In Britain everyone has a local doctor. The local doctor is a general practitioner (全科医生)(GP). A GP is a doctor who treats patients with all kinds of illness. He may not have specialists (专家) usually work in hospitals.

    If a man is ill and wants to see his doctor, he calls to make an appointment first. If he is too ill and he can't go out, his doctor will come to his house. If the patient has to take medicine, the doctor gives him a prescription(处方). ② The patient has to pay some money for the prescription. He goes to the chemist's shop and buys the medicine there. The price is the same as any kind of medicine. ③But children, students, old people or people without work don't have to pay for their medicine

    Rice, meat, vegetables and fruit… there are many different food choices for us to eat every day. You may think that throwing away your leftover food is not a big deal. But you should keep in mind that many people around the world still don't have enough to eat.

    In 2015, there were over 1 billion hungry people in the world, according to the United Nations. Many children went to sleep hungry and 15 million of them even died from hunger.

    However, food waste is still a big problem. The average person throws away 50 kg of food every year. This means that 1.3 billion tons of food goes to waste each year. That is more than one third of all the food we make.

    We could give this leftover food to many people. For example, the amount of food wasted in Europe would be enough for 200 million people!

    So next time you feel picky (挑剔) about what you want to eat or can't finish your meal, you might want to think twice. There are many others who aren't so lucky.
