22、Every day, Vicky traveled by bus between her office and home. She noticed something special about the bus driver. Whenever the passengers(乘客) got on the bus, he would smile at them.

However, Vicky also noticed a passenger who never smiled back at the driver. It seemed that he never had any clean clothes. He often made big noises when he coughed. Every time he got on the bus, he made the other passengers give up the seat to him in a loud voice. But the driver still smiled at him. Instead, the “noisy” man seemed to never see the smile.

This got Vicky more interested. Once, she asked the driver, “Sir, may I ask a question? Why don't you throw that ‘noisy’ man out of the bus？”

The driver looked at Vicky and said, “He's my guest.”

“Then take back your smile at least. Don't be so nice to him！”

“Let me tell you about my dog，” the driver said patiently. “Each time the moon shines, my dog barks(狗叫) at it crazily.”

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?

A. do volunteer work   B. work part time in restaurants

D. It encouraged customers to take leftovers home.

24、   When I was a kid, I often played basketball. So I was thin but healthy. When I was about 15, I stopped playing basketball. I also started to drink a lot of drinks high in sugar and eat much more than before. Between 15 and 17, I put on a lot of weight (重量) — about 50 kg.

I didn’t know how big I was until I saw a photo one day. In the photo, I had a fat neck and my stomach was out there. I hated the way I looked. I knew I needed to lose some weight.

I started to drink only water, and eat less and healthier. I ate mainly vegetables and only one piece of meat every day, and stayed away from sugar.

I also started to exercise. Every day, I ran for 30 minutes first, and then I did some push-ups (俯卧撑) for 10 minutes. I also jumped rope for 15 minutes every day.

I kept exercising the whole winter. When March came, many people said to me, “Oh, Dave, you’ve been a different person!”

It was true. I had lost 25 kg in three months. I liked taking photos, and I noticed the difference in my looks.
