23、Qi Haoran, a Junior student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation  and not just with his homework. Qi, together with other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘行动). The students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. "Excuse me, do you know that nine million people around the world still haven't got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?" They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 20 million people for a year. It's a tradition that Chinese people offer lots of food when they invite others to dinner. Many even feel that they will lose face iftheir guests have eaten all their foods

Luckily the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have ten stickers. More than seven restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.

Wasting food is a serious problem around the world, not only in China. It's said that two billion tons (吨) of food ends up as waste every year. This is as much as half of all the food in the world. The UN Environment Programme and the Food and Agriculture Organization held a "Think, Eat, Save" programme on 2 January to help reduce food waste.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It's important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

24、   Six children were in hospital. They got infected(感染) wih E.coli（大肠杆菌). They were very sick, but the doctors didn’t know what caused the infection. They called Dr. Richard Besser. They were sure he would find out the cause.

First, Dr. Besser carefully studied the E. coli that the children had. He looked at the E.coli’s DNA. The DNA showed that this kind of E. coli was dangerous to people. Dr. Besser knew this kind of E. coli could spread from animals to people. Perhaps the children had got close to animals that carried the E.coli. Besser found other E .coli cases in the children’s living place. But it still didn’t make the answer clear.

Dr. Besser then made a list of what the sick children had eaten(吃). They had all eaten cheese, apple juice, and fish. He then made a list of what healthy children in the same place had eaten, and compared(对比 )the two lists. They ate the cheese and fish, but not the apple juice.

Dr. Besser went to the factory making the apple juice. He saw that there were animals around the apple trees, and he saw the workers using dirty fallen apples. More importantly, he saw they didn’t wash the apples before they made the juice, and they didn’t do anything to kill the E. coli in the juice. Dr. Besser then knew it was the apple juice that made the children sick.

【1】The doctors called Dr. Richard Besser to___________.

25、Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the t 【1】. Along the way, he can stop and look a【2】. And the higher he climbs, the more w【3】 views there will be. If he k【4】 climbing, he will have a new world before him. He will have a new way of seeing everything. Now learning a【5】 language is something like climbing a mountain. This new language gives you a new view(观点) of life. And it is more than a book on the surface(表面) of things. It can o【6】 the way into people’s minds and hearts, into a culture which is very d【7】 from the one of your own. This will make you g【8】 at things that money can’t buy.

Like the mountain climber who stops now and then e【9】 the beauty around him, everyone who is interested in reading will find f【10】 in books as he tries to learn more and more about that new language.
