Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 　36　. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never　37　more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something　38　 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a　39　table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the　40　 for my friends! ” said Ben. We all sat down and looked　41　at each other—what was he 　42　?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a　43　of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next　44　was also a little strange　45　we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”
As we ate we chatted and finally the　46　turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(菜谱) for this, ”asked Marina, “or did you　47　it up? ”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked　48　what I could find. ”Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days. ”“But there’s　49　choice in what you can find　50　supermarkets, ” he replied.
　51　that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually　52　away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of　53　, boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had　54　 provided a decent meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 　55　millions of people.
