Script Murder (剧本杀), also known as the mystery of murder, is gaining popularity among young people. A guest in the party secretly plays the role of the murderer without the knowledge of others while other guests, as players, need to find out the murderer through investigating (调查) and reasoning. In recent years, this game has gradually become a top choice for parties in China. 

There are two ways to play Script Murder, that is, online and offline. Most of the scripts provided by online apps are free; only a few high-quality scripts need to be paid. Players play role-playing games in a network "room" while offline stores usually set up scenes exactly the same as script settings. Players live in a "room", performing stories through language, expression, conversation, body movements and so on. This game often takes about 4 to 6 hours in total. 

In fact, murder-inspired board games, card games and party games have been around at least since the so-called golden age of British crime fiction in the 1920s and 1930s. The enduring popularity of these games presents a mystery of its own: What drives people to spend an evening investigating fake cases and hunting for "murderers"? 

One simple explanation might be curiosity (好奇心). When he's playing Script Murder in particular costumes, one feels like he's in that world. But that is not the full story. Instead, murder games follow a surprisingly complex set of psychological (心理的) rules, which can be educational and help people develop important thinking and acting skills. 

"People are considering the games as a way to simulate threatening plots (模拟威胁情节) and then play around with how they would react to it." Coltan Scrivner, a behavioral scientist, says, "After all, real-life violent (暴力的) crime is every person's worst nightmare."

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中选出最佳选项。

 According to a research more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.

 When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed& find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.

 How does it work? Through an app, Feed& amp; Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.

 Pretty cool, right? It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura hoping that she could have developed similar projects for their communities.

 Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
