    Poverty,disease and conflict have historically threatened food security. Now,rising food prices and issues like climate change add to these threats.

    A new study warns of future losses in world food production because of crop damage from changes in the weather. William Cline wrote the study from the Centre for Global Development in Washington. He says countries closest to the equator will be hardest hit. For example,he predicts that if nothing is done,global warming could cut India5 s food production by up to forty percent by the year 2080. Africa and Latin America could lose twenty percent or more.

   Governments concerned about global warming and dependence on oil are investing in biofuels from com and other plants. But Lester Brown at the Earth Policy Institute in Washington says demand for fuel crops is pushing up food prices. He says the worlds eight hundred sixty million automobile owners are now in direct competition with the two billion poorest people.

   This comes as grain supplies are at their lowest level in years. Experts see a number of reasons. These include no enough investment in agricultural technology,a loss of farmland to development,droughts and floods made worse by climate change and growing competition for water.

   (2014 •海口高一检测) You’re standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking—except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at what you say. Or maybe you just aren’t brave enough to speak.

   I've been there,and so have many other people all over the world. Shyness is like a snake that crawls (爬) into our mouths and stops us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.

    I am 29 years old. Even today,that snake still sometimes visits me. But when I was in high school,I was so shy that I wouldn't talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the way to a local shop,it was as if Yd forgotten how to talk.

One summer,I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers. I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them if they wanted to drink Coke or Sprite. I had to tell the people in the kitchen if someone wanted pickle (泡菜 ) on his sandwich.

  This job taught me how to speak with people.

    You may not be old enough to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.

    If you do these things for a while,the “ shyness ” snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.

   D. argue that it is alright to keep silent in public

   A. he's been in many situations that make other people feel shy

   B. he is confident that he can find a way to get over shyness

   C. he is sad because he knows he will always be shy

   D. like many other people,he once was troubled by shyness

48. The author's duties in the restaurant included

   A. cooking the meals for customers
