The easiest way is to check the “use-by date“ printed on the wrapper. If that date has already passed, you*re likely to throw the candy away.But is that really necessary? According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense Council （NRDC）, tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don*t fully understand what expiration （截止日期）dates, or “use-by dates”, actually mean.Food dating was introduced in the 1970s because consumers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates were only supposed to indicate freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.But the truth is that these dates aren't related to the risk of food poisoning or food borne illness, according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use-by dates and related them to the safety of the food, and they still largely do now. Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five weeks after purchase even though the use-by date is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch （松脆）,but they are not harmful."It's a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety,“ said Jena Roberts, vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. "Even in the food industry 1 have colleagues who get confused.”This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use-by dates. "We want this to be clearly communicated so consumers are not misunderstanding the data and contributing to a lot of waste J said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC.But this won't be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long. Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently-some are still safe to eat long after their use-by date while others are not.As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use-by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to go bad.24. The use-by date was first intended to.A. show the safety of foodB. give a warning of food poisoningC. tell the freshness of food.D. indicate the relation between food and illness25. The underlined word “misinterpreted" in Paragraph 4 probably means.A. made guesses aboutB. formed a wrong idea aboutC. made wrong use ofD. took no notice of26. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Most customers understand what use-by dates mean.A. Most customers understand what use-by dates mean.B. "Use-by dates" have existed fbr more than 60 years.C. Biscuits can't be eaten when not as crunchy as they are bought.D. Even after their use-by dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat.27. Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use-by dates becauseA. use-by dates are not helpful or reliable B. most consumers often misunderstand use-by datesC. more consumers get worried about food safety D. the quality level of different foods changes differentlyCMost of us set a goal with energy and motivation. If it is achieved, we will feel we are on cloud nine. But in most cases, we can*t reach our goals easily. Why do we often fail to hit the target? The answer lies in the disconnection between our brains* evaluation of rewards and the “get it done“ realities that influence our behavior.Our brains are reward-driven organs charged by neurotransmitters （神经递质）that fuel our drives and desires, and its easy for us to get carried away in this chemical tsunami. So, when we set up a goal, our focus is on the reward. We picture getting the reward, and how well feel when we make it, which pushes us into action. But once we begin, we come face to face with what's really required to reach the goal and our focus shifts from reward to effort.In other words, a focus on rewards fuels the pursuit, but a focus on effort takes over when the work starts. For example, getting up early to exercise for a new healthy lifestyle might seem like a good choice, but once your alarm goes off on a cold January morning, the rewards aren't enough to get you up and out of bed. When we face the realityof our choices, we realize the effort is too much and give up.In fairness, though, we don't always have the best sense of how much effort something will require, especially if it's a goal we haven't pursued before. Getting better at setting goals has much to do with figuring this out and not letting ourselves forget the lesson.Next time, begin our goal pursuits with as much realistic acknowledgment of the effort required as possible. Then, once we begin, refocus back to the reward and continue the efforts.28. What does the underlined phrase “on cloud nine" mean in paragraph 1?A. Scared.B. Overjoyed.C. Restless.D. Confused29. What may account for one's unachieved goal?A. Aiming high, working less.C. More efforts, less speed.30. What do people often fail to recognize in setting goals?31.

More pains, more gains.A. Pains.B. Effort.C. Plan.D. Reward.31. What's the author's advice to us?A. Refocus back to the goal.C. Accept failure and learn from the past.B. Achieve your goal step by step.D. Set practical goals and work consistently.After growing up in the foster （寄养）care system, Shante Elliott is working to help others transition （过渡，转变）out of it. Elliott is no stranger to the foster care system. She was forced to change schools and adapt to different homes over and over again before finally being adopted at the age of 13. Elliott became the first member of her family to graduate college, double majoring in literature and communication and earning a master's in education policy. Today she is pursuing her doctoral degree.Elliott knows the challenges facing teenagers within the foster care system. "Often, teenagers are not viewed as children but as adults,she recently told Reader's Digest. "Think about it-most families looking want to adopt an infant or a young child, so they can experience developmental milestones with the child.There are ways to help foster children without becoming a foster parent, but finding permanency is still what most foster youth need most. And for those who age out of the system without finding those forever homes, there are additional challenges to face. According to Youth.gov, these kids are at greater risk of homelessness, health problems, dropping out of school and legal issues, all of which can make succeeding in adulthood more difficult.Elliott wants to see that stigma end. “We need to change the national dialogue around this in a way that highlights the needs of older children. All foster-involved children want consistent homes. Potential families need to realize this.”It's a reality Elliott is passionate about helping others realize. "The need for protection, love, opportunity, and safety has no age limit. If more teenagers were adopted, youth would have more successful long-term outcomes after foster care." That's something these older foster kids who found their forever homes can prove.32. How was Elliotts early adoptive life?A. Difficult.B. Busy. C. Strange.D. Successful.33. Why do foster families prefer infants or young children to teenagers?A. Because teenagers are too old to be fostered.B. Because infants lack personal experience and education.C. Because parents can become part of the children's growth process.D. Because they want to foster children without becoming foster parents.34. What is paragraph 3 mainly talking about?A. Homeless children will drop out of school.B. People don't want to become foster parents.C. There are some ways to help foster children.D.
