Cleaning your plate may not help feed hungry childrentoday, but the timeworn advice of mothers everywhere may help reduce food wastefrom the farm to the fork, help the environment and make it easier to feed theword’s growing population.

Hard data still being collected, but experts inChicago said about 30% to 50% of the food produced in the world goes uneaten. Theaverage American throws away 33 pounds of food each month—about$40 worth, which means each person throws away almost 400 pounds of food. TheUS Department of Agriculture says that 23% of eggs and an even higher percentageof produce ends up in the trash.

“We forget we have all these fresh fruits andvegetables, and at the end of the week we have to throw them away”, said EstherGove, a mother of three young children in South Berwick, Maine. “Now, I don’tbuy as much fresh produce as I used to.”

But the effect of food waste arrives far beyond thekitchen. Agriculture is the world’s largest user of water, a big consumer ofenergy and chemicals and major emitter of greenhouse gases duringproduction. Experts say reducing waste is a simple way to cut stress on theenvironment and can ease pressure on farmers, who will be called on to feed anexpected 9 billion people around the world in 2050, compared with nearly 7billion today.

No matter how sustainable(可持續(xù)的)farming is, if the food’s not getting eaten, it’s not sustainable and it’s nota good use of our resources. In richer nations, fruit and vegetables end up inthe trash because they are not pretty enough to meet companies’ standards, havegone bad in a home refrigerator or aren’t eaten at a restaurant. In developingcountries, much food spoils before it gets to market due to poor roads and lackof refrigeration. High food prices are another reason, since some people can’tafford the food that’s produced.

From the first paragraph, we know that cleaning your plate ____________.

A. is your mother’s best advice for you

B. can solve certain problems for the world

C. can help feed hungry children all over the world

D. helps meet the growing population’s needs

B

Are you a social media addict? Are you always checkingyour smartphone to see how many 'likes' you've received for your latest post?Maybe you feel comforted by the notification sound that someone has sent you amessage?

Don't worry, you're not alone. We check our phones anaverage of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online isdedicated to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damagingour mental health.

This is something particularly afflicting(使受苦)young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It foundthe more they used social media, the more likely they are to be depressed. Intests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times morelikely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generallysurfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.”

Some of us certainly feel sad when we're ignored onsocial media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us.But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, AbigaelSan, recently told the BBC that, "It’s a real issue, and it’sbeen getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so hooked(上癮的)that it takes you away from your real relationships." However, Abigaeldoes admit that social media is more likely to exacerbate(使惡化)pre-existing(既往病史) issues than directly cause them.

Other research by Glasgow University found thatteenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts.It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media,and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.

Despite these warning signs, why do some of uscontinue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don'twant to miss out on a conversation that's taking place online. But we need toknow when to switch off our virtual(虛擬的) online world and connect withthe real world instead.

Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?

A. People checking social media frequently.

B. People surfing the Internet regularly.

C. People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.

D. People longing for more messages.

第二節(jié)(共10小題，每小題1.5分，滿分15分)

閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

An old proverb says, “Friends are like wine; the older, the better.” So, nowadays many people consider older friends to be ____(important) than new friends. For example, if two pieces of advice ____(give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from ____old friend, people always tend to adapt the latter one, although the new friend’s advice may be better.

____(disagree) with the old proverb, I believe that new friends are not ____(necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the ____ (long) of time can not determine whether your friendship is better or not.

Once you call someone friend, he must be a reliable person, ____ interests are in common with ____ (you). As time goes by, a friend’s outside look may change, but the inside characters ____ him and his interests will not change. It is just these unchangeable characters and interests ____ make him a friend to you. Thus, on this point, there is no difference between old and new friends.
