The world has growing worries about a global food shortage. Right now, there are still 870 million hungry people in the world, according to a survey of the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization. Children cant escape this, either. Around fifteen million children die of hungry each year. Whats causing food shortages? There are several reasons. There are now more droughts and floods. This is very harmful to farmers and their ability to grow food. Besides, with the growing population, feeding everyone becomes more difficult. There are a little more than seven billion people in the world. By 2050, the world population will be more than nine billion. Another reason is food waste. The average person throws away 50kg of food every year. How can we help with food shortages? The easiest way is to cut down on food waste. Next time before throwing away the food on your plate, just think how much work has been done to make it. By buying less, we waste less. This takes the pressure off producing so much food. And it helps to solve the problem of food shortage.来源:Zxxk.Com You can also ask your schoolmates to join you. In 2013, researchers at Kansas State University in the US put up short anti-waste slogans(标语) in dining rooms “Think Before You Waste”. Guess what happened? Students wasted fifteen percent less food after that!

Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Heres a good example. Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven-year-old Amy and nine-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year. The Meek couple didnt want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted . Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr. and Mrs. Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters. It turns out that the two sisters really had a good time joining activities. Every holiday and weekend, whether its sunny, rainy or snowy, the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing , skiing, and so on. The two little girls not only had a wonderful time, but also learned a lot of skills from the activities. They were even able to stand up in front of their school to give a talk for charity. “Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily, weve had the chance to experience something different.” Amy and Ella also helped their parents to draw up a new list of challenges for the next 12 months.61.请用中文出现的词语将下列句子补充完整，使句子意思连贯。 As a student, you should do more outdoor exercises in order not to_.62.Why did the Meeks become the focus of the UK? _63.When did the Meeks go out to do the activities? _64.请将稳中划线句子翻译成汉语。 _65.Please tell us what you have learned from this passage with two sentences in your own words. _五、词汇运用A、根据句意和所给的中文提示，写出句子中的单词。66.Can you _(想象) what your life will be like in ten years?67.We listened to a report on how to save endangered animals last _(星期三).68.It is _(传统的) to eat moon cakes in China on Mid-Autumn Festival.69.Thanks a lot for_(取回) me the notebook I left in the lecture hall.70.China is one of the ancient_(文明社会)in the world.B、根据句意，用所给单词的适当形式填空。71.How _(care) you are!
