A lunch break—it's an important and often necessary part of our working or school day. It's time to get something to eat and maybe chat with some friends. And now we're gradually getting used to plenty of places to buy our lunch from, all offering delicious dishes and sandwiches to eat on the go.

But buying our lunch is not just costing us money, there might be a cost in polluting our planet too. Just a sandwich, some crisps and maybe a cake and coffee can produce much waste. Cups, packing paper and plastic are all part of our disposable (一次性的)feast besides the food waste we create. Some experts say throwing away food is a big cause of environmental problems.

As for the solution to the problem, according to an environmental group called Hubbub, is to eat packed lunches. Tessa Tricks from the group thinks it's usually healthier and cheaper to make your own lunch. It means you can eat the things you really want and causes less waste.

Of course, if you haven't got time to prepare your packed lunch and you are going to buy lunch, Hubbub suggests that you should take your own container to a shop and ask them to put your food in it. The idea of using reusable coffee cups for hot drinks and refilling water bottles has already been known successful, so this could be another step in the right direction.

The problem with eating is that you might want to carry your food in something that is disposable, so it's a good idea to make sure it's something recyclable. The message seems to be that if we give our lunchtime eating habits some thought, we will all make an effort in climate(气候)change and protecting our environment. That is something for all of us to consider and take action!

(1)、The writer mainly tells us          in Paragraph 2.
A、the problems of wasting food B、different kinds of lunch C、the problems caused by buying lunch D、different causes of climate change
(2)、The underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refers to         .
A、Buying take-away food B、Eating healthier food C、Cooking lunch by yourself D、Using reusable materials
(3)、Which of the following is the writer's opinion?
A、People like to buy lunch from shops. B、Many people are too busy to make their own food. C、Throwing away food causes problems to the environment. D、Everyone should have a good lunchtime eating habit to protect environment.
(4)、Which is the best title for the passage ?
A、Prepare Your Own Lunch B、Don't Use Disposable Containers C、Eat Properly to Keep Healthy D、Don't Let Our Lunch Cost the Earth

Little George lived in a poor village. One summer day George's mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried wood for the fire.

George worked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some shade, and by it were some fine, wild strawberries. "How good these will be with my bread and butter," thought George. He picked up all of the strawberries. As he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother, alone in her dark, cold room in the village.

With this in mind, he put the strawberry back. "Shall I save them for her?" he asked himself.

He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye.

"I will eat half, and take the other half to her," he said. He divided them into two heaps(堆), but each heap looked so small. He put them together again.

"I will only eat one," he thought.

But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back.

When the sun was beginning to sink, George set out for home. How happy he felt that he had all his strawberries for his sick mother.

He heard his mother's faint voice calling him, "Is that you, George? I am glad you have come back. I am thirsty, and I want some water."

George ran to her and joyfully offered his wild strawberries.

"And you kept them for me, didn't you?" said she, laying her hand softly on his head, with tears in her eyes.

Could the eating of the strawberries have given George half the happiness he felt at this moment?

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。

Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space?To travel in space,we first have to work out where our food will come from. 

Today's space travellers don't go to the Moon or Mars. They go to the International Space Station (ISS). There,the spacemen live for weeks to months. 

If you visited the ISS years ago,nearly every kind of food you ate would have come from the Earth. 

In 2014,scientists sent the ISS a space garden with some vegetable seeds(种子). With water and some light, the vegetables in the gardern grew. Those were the first foods being grown on the Iss. But the spacemen couldn't eat them and had to send them back to the Earth. The next year,after scientists made sure they were safe,the spacemen grew a second crop. This time the vegetables were ready for the spacemen to eat. 

Gardening is different in space than it is on Earth. Without gravity,plants don't know which way is up. But they learn how to grow. They send their leaves in the direction of light and their roots into the soil. 

The spacemen also have grown vegetables as well as flowers. That's important to know a plant can flower in space,because flowering is part of how some plants make fruit. 

While the space garden is small for now,hopefully it could one day help provide people with food on long﹣time space trips.

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Grain Rain(谷雨), at the last term in spring, generally starts on April 20th and ends on May 4th.

Grain Rain comes from an old saying, "Rain brings up the growth of hundreds of grain", which shows that this period of rainfall is very important for the growth of crops. Here's something that you may not know about the Grain Rain.

Seasonal characteristics

When the Grain Rain ends, the summer starts And the temperature rises much higher than it does in March, With dry soil and heavy winds, sandstorms may happen more often.

Customs in southern China

There is an old custom in southern China that people drink tea on the day of Grain Rain. Spring tea during Grain Rain is good for the eyes.

Traditions in northern China

People in northern China have the tradition to cat the vegetable toona sinensis(香椿) during Grain Rain. An old Chinese saying goes "toona sinensis before the rain is just like silk". The vegetable is good for the stomach and skin.

Grain Rain Festival

The Grain Rain Festival is celebrated by fishing villagers in northern China. Grain Rain marks the start of the fisherman's first voyage(航行) of the year. The custom dates back to(追溯到) more than 2000 years ago.

Do you like doing chores? Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes, making the bed and folding the clothes. In exchange(交换), they may get some money or computer time. Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics, especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money. Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs, we should pay kids for everyday housework. 

But some people don't think kids should get rewards(奖励)for doing housework Susie Walton, an expert believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn't worth(值得)doing unless you get something in return. "Doing any kind of housework is a team effort," Walton said "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that all families need to make decisions about how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want."

Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework on their own, and that it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money. Some groups invented an app that records kids' points and these points can be used to redeem(兑现)some gifs either online or in the real world. "Our goal is to help kids do their par and then they can get rewards," says Chris Bergman. "And kids need rewards to help encourage them."
