【题目】 Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals.

Evan Lutz is enthusiastic about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with enthusiasm for business. Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and sells “ugly” produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections.

“So I’ll give you an example.” Lutz says, “If you go to a grocery store you will see all the produce lineup shiny, perfect, of the same size and color. But on a farm, everything doesn’t grow the same way. So all that stuff that doesn’t grow the same way often gets thrown out. And what we do is take all that normally gets thrown out because of its odd size or shape, box it up and deliver it to our customers once a week.”

For Evan Lutz, giving back to others came form his upbringing. “When I was growing up, my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn’t just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were formerly in prison or were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.”

Evan Lutz is really happy to be realizing great mission that he thinks can really revolutionize the food industry in America.

推理判断题。根据文章第一段Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals（在美国，每年有数十亿公斤的新鲜农产品被浪费。与此同时，数以百万计的美国穷人在挨饿，无法获得健康和负担得起的食物）可知，题干中的social injustice（社会不公）指代就是第一段中提到的很多农产品被浪费但却有很多的美国人在挨饿的问题。故选D项。

【2】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and sells “ugly” produce（卢茨是Hungry Harvest的首席执行官和创始人，该公司专门收集和销售“丑陋”农产品）可知，Hungry Harvest是一个专门收集和销售所谓“丑陋”农产品的组织。故选B项。

They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life（我们雇佣那些曾经在监狱里或曾经受伤或生病的人住在收容所。他们真的很想重新站起来，获得人生的第二次机会）可知，Evan Lutz雇佣这些人是因为他们想重新开始，获得人生的第二次机会。所以Evan Lutz给他们工作让他们重新开始。故选A项。

【4】

主旨大意题。作者在文章第一段提到Every year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals（在美国，每年有数十亿公斤的新鲜农产品被浪费。与此同时，数以百万计的美国穷人在挨饿，无法获得健康和负担得起的食物）可知，在美国有很多的食物被浪费尽管有很多人挨饿。另外在文章第二段提到了Hungry Harvest成立了一个组织专卖这些被丢掉的“丑陋”的农产品。最后根据文章倒数第二段提到We sell produce with a purpose and that doesn’t just mean we reduce food from going to waste（我们出售农产品是有目的的，这不仅仅意味着我们减少了食物的浪费）可知，出售这些产品的目的之一是为减少浪费。综合分析，本篇主要在讲让那些被浪费的东西重新被利用。故选C项。

But what had the children done in return? All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parent should serve for them unconditionally.
