Who wants to eat food that is thrown away as waste? Believe it or not, that's exactly what world leaders did at a lunch held by the United Nations in 2015.

During the meal, the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown-away vegetables and fruits. Chef Dan Barber, who helped create the meal, hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue of food waste.

It is a huge problem. One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food. Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!

Why is so much food wasted? Firstly, food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced, or because it is not kept properly in farms. Secondly, shops and supermarkets usually throw away unsold food. Finally, customers often buy more food than they need, so a lot of uneaten food is wasted.

How can you waste less food? When eating out, you may ask for less food and take home what is left. Visit fast food restaurant less often, since they usually more wasteful. Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks.

You can also waste less food at home. Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice.

Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.

Food waste is a growing problem and we, either farmers or food sellers or customers, must take this problem more seriously and do what we can to help.

Computer technology has become an important part of people's life. This technology has its own special words. One well-known computer word is Google. It's the name of a popular "search engineer(引擎)" for the Internet. People use the search engineer to find information about almost any subject on the Internet. The people who started the company named it Google because in math Google is a very large number—-One hundred zeros follow the number one. When you " Google" a subject, you can get a lot of information about it.
If you Google someone, you might find that person's name on a blog(博客). A blog is short for a Web log. It's a personal Web page. Some people write blogs to express their opinions and ideas over the Internet. Some use them to share their lives with faraway friends or family. Others write blogs to help them deal with sickness, money problems or to choose movies to see or books to read. Some people add information to their blogs every day.

   British people are famous for drinking tea. But brother and sister, Sarah and Bobby Green, became young millionaires when they opened a chain of American-style coffee shops in the UK.
   Having the idea: It started when Sarah took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening, in a Thai restaurant, Sarah told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee in London. Bobby suggested they started their own coffee shop. Sarah fell in love with the idea.
   Doing the Research: Back in London, she spent a whole day on the London subway, getting off the train at different stations to taste the coffee. “It was terrible, and I knew there was a gap (空缺) in the market.” In 1995, they opened their first Coffee Republic shop in central London.
   Making it work: The first year was very difficult. British people were not used to the names of American coffees, like latte and macchiato. But being successful was their dream and they were not going to give up. Today, there are over 100 Coffee Republic shops all over the country and the company has ￡30 million a year.
   Advice for others: Sarah has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It ! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She says, “If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.”

We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival. There is a name for each Chinese year. We may call it the year of the sheep, the year of the monkey or the year of the dog. And this year is the year of the tiger.
Before New Year's Day, people are busy shopping and cleaning their houses. On New Year's Eve, there is a big family dinner. After dinner, the family don't go to sleep to welcome the New Year. On the first day of the New Year, people put on their new clothes and go to visit their friends and relatives. They say "Happy New Year" and some other greetings (问候) to each other. People usually have a very good time during the festival.

Many people think of cities and nature as two different things. However, some cities around the world are trying new and creative ways to bring nature and wildlife into city areas.

In order to make better use of city gardens, places like Los Angeles in the US make community gardens. The gardens serve the community in many ways. In city farms, people grow vegetables to sell at markets with the money going to people in need. In the educational gardens, people are taught how to eat healthily.

In Edmonton, Canada, more than twelve wildlife bridges have been built. One of the largest is a 30-meter-long bridge near Big Lake in the northwest of the city. It's a good way to protect animals' habitats（栖息地）.

A "sponge city"（海绵城市）is a city to deal with floods. How does it work? Just as a sponge can absorb（吸收）water, a sponge city can deal with heavy rain. Wuhan is one of China's first cities to start the project. By the end of 2020, 20% area of the city has been covered by sponges. In 2030, the number will rise to 80%. There are now more than 30 "sponge cities" in China, including Jinan and Xiamen.

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。

Dear Teens,

①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?

②One of the answers to these questions is personality(性格). People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes (pass on from its parents) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.

③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will-help you change your personality.

④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just sell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.

⑤It you are a sluggish person who always does things slowly, you'd better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.

⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings. No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.
