22、The United Nations believes about 17 percent of the world’s food goes to waste each year from homes, stores and food companies.【1】
The information comes from the UN Environment Program’s Food Waste Index Report 2021. The report says food waste is not only a problem in rich countries like Britain or the United States. It happens in poor countries, too. 【2】 Most of the wasted food — 61percent — comes from homes. The rest comes from stores and food service companies.
【3】 When people buy too much food, they do not always use it before it goes bad. Also, the writing on food containers can be hard to understand. In some cases, the producers put a date that shows when the food will be best to eat. 【4】 But people will throw it away. Food administrators in the US have asked producers to label their products in a way that is easier for people to understand.
Researchers say food waste is a growing concern because of the large amount of land and energy required to produce food, raise animals and plant crops. 【5】 If food waste is reduced, it might be possible to lessen the impact of its production on the world.
A．We have many ways to reduce food waste.
B．That amounts up to 931 million tons of food.
C．Food supplies can go bad without cold storage there.
D．Some restaurants reward customers who eat up their food.

G．Sometimes stores of reduced prices on larger amounts of food.
23、 Ultrasound（超声）is used widely in medical imaging, but in recent years scientists have started developing it for another use: stimulating nerves to treat disease. In two new studies in mice, researchers focused the sound waves on nerves in the spleen（脾）that communicate with the immune system, reducing symptoms. If the approach proves safe and effective in people, it could serve as a treatment for diseases such as arthritis（关节炎）.
In one study, led by scientists at the Feistein Institute and GE Research, mice receiving a few minutes of ultrasound treatment to the spleen nerve had a diminished symptoms to an injected（注射）poison. In another study, researchers at the University of Minnesota and their colleagues reduces symptoms of arthritis in mice by stimulating their spleen nerves for 20 minutes every day for a week. “Zeroing in on the spleen may provide a more precise approach than focusing on the vagus nerve（交感神经）, which connects with the immune system via a second nerve that stimulates the spleen.” says Hubert Lin, lead author of the latter study. “When we’re targeting the spleen we have less of an effect all over the body.”
“Little is known about how repeated ultrasound affects the spleen or whether it has other harmful effects,” says neuroscientist Denise Bellinger of Loma Linda University, who was not involved in either study. An ongoing clinical trial aims to assess the treatment’s safety in humans with arthritis. A bigger unknown is how ultrasound activates in general. Scientists are now exploring the use of ultrasound on other parts of the nervous system, including the brain. “We know how to control nerves with electricity, and we’ve been doing it for more than 100 years,” neuroscientist Kevin Tracey says, “But the idea of controlling nerve signals with ultrasound is a brand-new field.”
【1】What do scientists expect of the new application of ultrasound?
A.It'll be applied in medical imaging
B.It'll be used to activate nerves to treat disease.
C.It’ll be applied in spleen transplantation.
D.It'll be employed to rebuild immune system.
【2】What does the underlined word “diminished" in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Complicated. B.Worsened.
C.Decreased. D.Associated.
【3】What is the concern of Denise Bellinger?
A.Side effect. B.Time length.
C.The procedure. D.The cost.
【4】What is most likely the next step of the study?
A.Assessing the treatment' s safety on humans.
B.Activating nerves in general with ultrasound.
C.Exploring the use of ultrasound on the brain.
D.Controlling nerve signals with ultrasound.
