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(冷冻室)

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 cat 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 cat or cook it later.

Ben: What are bases?
Richard: They are flat squares that show you where to run. After you hit the ball, you have to run around the bases.
If you stand on a base, you are safe. If you are running to a base, and the other team touches the base with the ball, then you are out.
Jennifer: Oh, I see. How would I hit the ball?

When you are tired of buildings, you can visit one of London's beautiful parks. 

Hyde Park first opened to the people of London in the seventeenth century. It is not far from the shops of busy Oxford Street, but it is nice and quiet. In the center is the lake called the Serpentine, and you can take a boat out on the water. 

There are usually a lot of people at Speakers' Corner. Some people come here because they want to tell the world important or interesting things—about the government, science, or "the end of the world". They stand at the Corner, and call out to all the people around them. Other people stand and listen, and sometimes laugh too. 

Kensington Gardens is next to Hyde Park. Here you can see a statue(雕像)of Peter Pan, the famous boy in the book Peter Pan written by J. M. Barrie. There is also a playground here, called the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. And the playground has lots of exciting things for children. 

Regent's Park is the home of London Zoo. The zoo opened in 1828, and it has animals from all over the world. There is also a theatre in the park. On a summer's evening, you can sit out and watch a play created by Shakespeare. Or you can see the park from the water—take a boat along the canal(运河)from Camden Lock to Little Venice. In the summer, you can listen to music in the park. 

St James's Park is next to the Mall. It is a small park, but very beautiful, and it is the oldest of the royal(皇家)parks. Lots of birds live on and around the lake in the centre of the park. 

 B. Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词组,完成短文):

Fudan University: free courses for high school students

Is Fudan your ideal university? Now your dream may come true in a different way. Most recently, Fudan University has started a new programme offering free courses and they are now 1 to first-year senior high school students. Students from other grades do not have the chance to participate now. The programme allows students to take weekend courses on its campus in 10 different subjects. They cover many 2 , including Maths, science, Chinese language and literature (文学). 

Besides, students will share the university's 3 like its libraries and on-campus activities during their courses. They will be able to earn credits (学分) from the programme if they are admitted into Fudan University in the future. 

The new programme aims to further bridge the gap between higher education and compulsory education (义务教育). It may 4 develop high school students' all-around abilities and help them to discover what they are really interested in, the university says. 

To high school students, the chance to experience college-level work is so precious that it enables them to decide which job they should 5 in the future. 

The programme has attracted a lot of students and produced a good social response since 2014. Many students say they have gained a lot from the learning 6 and the experience will certainly encourage them to dream of hope.

Fudan is calling! Please follow Fudan's WeChat account as soon as possible to know about further details and requirements.
