24、Qi Haoran, a Junior One student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology（哈尔滨工业大学附属中学）, was quite busy over the past winter vacation─ not just busy with his homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盘行动”).

The eleven students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” “Nearly 100 million people only earn about 865 yuan a year in China. They even cannot afford a cup of tea.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January this year. It calls on people to reduce food waste.

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 200 million people for a year.

Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten up all the food.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support (支持) of many people. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner will give the guests who have eaten all that they ordered a sticker (贴花). People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home. Cheng guangbiao, a very famous person not only wanted to rename himself Cheng guangpan, which means “Clean Your Plate”, but also took his staff to some restaurants to eat leftovers. More and more customers are willing to wrap up their leftovers to take home.

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

【1】What did Qi Haoran and some of his classmates do in the past winter vacation?

A. They only did their homework.

B. They joined a chess club.

C. They volunteered for a campaign.

D. They opened a restaurant together.

【2】The Clean Your Plate Campaign calls on people to ____________.

【3】From Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5, we learn that ____________.

A. wasting food is a serious problem in China

B. Chinese people waste the most food in January

C. 200 million Chinese people invite others to dinner every day

D. Chinese people usually don’t offer enough food to their guests

【4】What did the restaurant in Xinjiang do to support the campaign?

25、Swimming and English Learning

Can you swim? Do you swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.

Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-Speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.

Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.

Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.

Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.

Easier said than do. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.

【1】You learn to swim by ______.

A. reading books about it

B. looking at others swimming

C. having lessons on it

D. going into the river and learning

【2】We should leant English by ______.

A. listening and speaking

B. reading and writing

C. A and B.

D. swimming

【3】What will you do with mistakes when you speak?

B. Study hard.

C. Try not to speak English.

D. Don’t be afraid.
