University of Maryland student Ben Simon and his friends couldn't stand seeing good food thrown out on their campus. "We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we would donate it. And they were on board," he said.

So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volun?teers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23， 000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.

Nationwide, $ 165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Spokesman Bob Keefer says that is about 40% of the country's entire food production. **If we can re?duce our waste in this country by 15 %? we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a huge benefit. That is what programmes like this Food Recovery Network are doing," he said.

Christian Life Centre is one of the beneficiaries (受益者)of the students' efforts. Ben Slye, the senior pas?tor (牧师)，said? "It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over one hundred people.，，

University of Maryland's Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the programme has expand?ed to 18 schools across the country. "I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years. And once we get to the Food Recovery Network being at ev?ery college campus inAmerica, we want to expand to restaurants and farms," said Simon.

The volunteers are committed to making that happen.

Florence, Italy

Who should go: Art lovers； Renaissance historians； leather handbag shoppers with high credit limits.

When to go: Spring or fall. Travellers usually avoid summer in Florence.

Paris, France

Who should go: Starving artists； Henry Miler fans; traditional food lovers.

When to visit- Spring is the best time. That's what they all say, anyway. Autumn isn't bad, either, and I'd rather be rooting around the south of France in search of truffles(松露)in autumn. Summer in Paris isn't bad, really.

Amsterdam _T Holland

Who should go： Lovers of Dutch Masters (artists I mean, like Rem-brandt, not cigars) ； bicyclists―it's a bike city in a flat land.

When to go:It can rain at any time in Amsterdam? but that's not a rea?son for not visiting this fascinating city. Off season tourists will be rewarded with good enough weather to stick around. Summer is good for sun lovers.

Madrid, Spain

Who should go: Night owls―Madrid never sleeps; art lovers―the Prado is second only to the Louvre in presenting serious art; party-goers.

When to go: Spring, when days are warm and the nights are pleasantly cool. Demand for outside eating and drinking starts becoming stronger in March or April. Street life peaks(达到髙峰)in June, then slows in July and August as the temperature peaks. Autumn is also good, although you'll risk some rain.

Venice, Italy

Who should go ： Romantic dreamers who like walking through automo?bile-free streets ； your mother (she'll want you to take her there, trust me)； almost anyone who wants to see something really different and romantic.

When to go: February is the time when the famous Venice Carnival is held and the weather is usually cold and foggy―perfect weather for Venice. Summer? A large number of tourists in shorts and whiny children ruin the atmosphere. You'll greatly enjoy yourself there in spring and early fall.

8.Many good films played by Jackie Chan are worth (see).

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wan?ted to do. My degree, with honours, in English litera?ture had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world some?how, but I had no idea how to do that. That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volun?teer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Nei?ther did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for appli?cation. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja,Nigeria. Where? What? Ni?geria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the vil?lage that was small and desperately in need of proper ac?commodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes? hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of lo?cal people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

Sometime during that period ， I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

The number of people attending high school and college reunions(重聚)has reduced. There are a lot of people who say Facebook is good enough and that they don't want to get together. Mindy Crouchley is one of them. "I can keep in touch with anyone I'm interested in through this medium(媒介).There's nothing more a reunion could give me."

I am a huge fan of Facebook. But having just at?tended my 40th high school reunion, I can say to Mindy and others that Facebook can't substitute the experi?ences you get at a reunion face to face and across a crowded room. They include the sound of a once-famil?iar voice calling out to you and the pleasure that comes with recognizing an old teammate after only a moment's hesitation.

Facebook is to a reunion what Mindy's yearbook is to a novel ： the level of detail you get on Facebook can't be equal to what you find face to face. For example, a classmate told me about a trip he had taken to see his dying teacher; it taught him the importance of telling people what they mean to you when they are still alive.

Of course nearly half of the 70 students in our class didn't make it. At the closing dinner, a classmate said, "Please raise your glass to the three members of the class of 1971 who have died. " Of course, five and ten years from now, at our next reunions, the list of those to whom we raise a glass will be longer. We may hear about their death through Facebook. But face to face, in a community of classmates, something deeper happens ： you are forced to admit life is short, which makes you feel grateful for your blessings and make the most of what remains.

A.is a huge fan of reunions

A.doesn't like using Facebook

4.What's the writer's purpose in giving the example in Paragraph 3?

A. To advise us to pay a visit to those who are dy?ing.

B. To prove that old people don't like communica?ting on Facebook.

C. To show that a face-to-face talk is better than a talk on Facebook.
