26、 Imagine you’re at the supermarket checkout. You pay the cashier, load your food into the cart, then take one third of your newly purchased items outside and throw them into the trash. This may sound unbelievable, but millions of us worldwide do this regularly, although in a more non-direct way.
In the West, most of this food is thrown away by businesses that are unable to sell it, or by consumers who buy too much. And the majority of this food, despite being past its shelf life, is still perfectly fit for human consumption. So where do these excess products end up?
“We receive food from various sources, including food banks, restaurants, cafes, food photographers, and events” says Adam Smith, founder of The Real Junk Food Project. The British company recently made headlines in the UK after it became the country’s first “food waste supermarket”, offering products that would otherwise have ended up in waste. Most of its customers are low-income families, or even college students who find it difficult to afford food.“We ask our customers to pay what they feel in time, money or skills. We do have people coming with the intention of paying and if it carries on like it does, it will pay for the cost of the warehouse,” Smith explains.
Some shops across Europe are also taking action. France recently passed a law that says all supermarkets must now donate all of their unsold produce to charities, while the Italian government has also put similar measures in place. Hundreds of cafes that serve meals made from surplus food have been set up across the continent too, selling dishes at bottom prices or even giving them away for free.
So what can we do to prevent our dinner ending up in the bin? “Buy less. Or at least shop smarter,” said Smith. After all, the best place for food is in our stomachs, not the trash.
【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined “being past its shelf life” in Paragraph 2?
A.Being past its “sell-by” date. B.Being far from enough.
C.Being past the length of being eatable. D.Being out of date.
【2】What do we know about The Real Junk Food Project?
A.It gets food from the waste. B.It wants to make a fat profit.
C.It drew massive attention lately. D.Its main aim is to do charities.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.Some countries in Europe are actively helping poor people.
B.Some countries in Europe are trying to address food waste.
C.Related shops in Europe are willing to give away their food.
D.All the countries in Europe have made laws to handle food waste.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Turning Trash into Treats B.Buying Less and Smarter
C.Food Trash Industry D.Warn against Food Waste
27、 You may probably meet most of the powerful graduation speakers, here who are well-known people in their fields. I think the schools couldn't have picked better speakers than them, because they set good examples, deeply inspiring us in our daily life.
Steve Jobs, Stanford University:
"Remembering you're going to die, and the best way I know is to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice…"
Oprah Winfrey, Stanford University:
"I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school…And the secret I've learned to get ahead is being open to the lessons from the grandest universe of all. Don't react against a bad situation. And the solution will arise from the challenge. So don't give up easily, acting with responsibility…"
Bono, University of Pennsylvania:
"For four years you've been buying, trading, and selling everything you've got in this market﹣place of ideas. Your pockets are full, even if your parents' are empty, and now you've got to figure out what to spend it on…The world is more flexible than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape…"
Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin:
"Now it's time for you to move on to what's next and obtain your desire. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, or sometimes you'll miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures and obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. "
【1】Who wants to express "Don't live your life in regret？"

28、Building the thinking habit is important because it helps you live with a purpose. How can we build the thinking habit? Here are some tips.
Be curious
Curiosity is powerful. 【1】 It also helps you recognize the ideas when they come. Curiosity is an important attitude to have in building the thinking habit.
Read widely
If you want to come up with good ideas, you need to feed your mind with good ideas. 【2】This will give you fresh, new ideas. Don’t just read from the fields you are familiar with. Read from other fields as well.
Read actively
Not only should you read widely, but also you should read actively. Find some ideas and think about how you can use them. My favorite way to do this is by highlighting the book I read. I will then put the actionable ideas in my idea journal (笔记). 【3】
Keep an idea journal
When you find a good idea, don’t just keep it in your mind. Instead, write it down to catch the idea. 【4】 Keeping an idea journal makes you more sensitive to new ideas. You will quickly recognize them because you already have the habit of catching ideas.
【5】
Of course, it doesn’t do you much good if you just write down ideas. Take time to read these ideas every now and then. In my case, I mark the ideas that I consider important and review them regularly. This often opens the way to new ideas.
A．Design your own ideas
B．Go over your ideas
C．In this way, others can also benefit from your ideas.
D．One way to do that is to read.
E．Otherwise, the idea might be gone forever.
F．It makes you like finding new ideas.
G．This helps me get the most out of the book.
29、Running and walking are both excellent forms of exercise. Those who regularly do either usually have healthier hearts, stronger bones and lower body weights than those who do little exercise. But does it matter whether you spend time walking or running? Arguments can be made for both, and which is right for you depends on your goals and your present fitness level.
“The key difference between running and walking is how many calories you are burning—not per mile, but per minute of exercise says Paul D. Thompson, a doctor at Hartford Hospital.” “Running is a more-efficient (高效的) movement and it’s more demanding on the body, so it bums more calories per minute,” Thompson says. “But if you’ve got the time to walk long enough to bum the same amount of calories, then walking is fine.” That said, if your final goal is to lose weight, chances are that neither running nor walking alone is going to do the trick. Research has shown that it needs to be done along with calorie control.
In a recent study that analyzed data from nearly 50,000 people, researchers found that runners’ risk of heart disease was 4.5 percent lower than that of those who were inactive. But walkers who burned the same amount of calories daily had a risk level that was 9 percent lower than those who were inactive.
“Running gets the reputation (名声) for causing injuries because many people who are just starting to run try to do too much too quickly,” says Carol Ewing Garber, a professor at Columbia University. “And they often get injured as a result. If you want to progress from walking to running, do it slowly, gradually increasing your speed, distance and the frequency of your rums.
Running may be more highly-intense (高强度的) and calorie-burning than walking, but walking is a great way to ease into exercise and make sure you are staying physically active every day. The bottom line is that getting exercise of any kind is beneficial—if you keep doing it.
“The best exercise is the one you are going to do,” Thompson says. “There are extra benefits to be gained from running, but what’s most important from a public health point of view is that everyone gets out and does some kind of exercise?”
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Exercise on its own is not enough to lose weight.
B．Walking is better than running for busy people.
C．Running can reduce people’s fat quickly and safely.
D．Walking is more demanding on the body.
【2】What can we learn from the recent study?
A．Running bums fewer calories than walking.
B．Walkers are more likely to get heart disease than runners.
C．Walking can reduce the risk of having heart disease.
D．Inactive people are free from heart problems.
【3】Which of the following would Thompson most probably agree with?
A．We’d better walk slowly.
B．Just walk before you run.
C．We’d better choose to run.
D．Any exercise is better than none.
