【题目】[1] Every few weeks, Lu Jinhua's family met for dinner at a restaurant close to her home in Beijing. But the happy mealtime almost al-ways ended with an unhappy scene her children would insist that Lu leave the table before she embarrassed them by asking to take the leftover food home in takeaway bags.

[2] But on Sunday, the 63-year-old lady was delighted to discover that the restaurant had made a number of changes. A poster on the Samfdearly stated,"Save food, don't waste it". Instead of persuading customers to order expensive dishes, the waitress suggested a small order that could be added later if people were still hungry. At the end of the dinner, Lu, s daughter even volunteered to __________.

[3] "This is the happiest dinner I had in that restaurant so far, and I am so glad to see these changes," Lu said.

[4] A campaign against food wastage is sweeping China, a country where 128 million people live below the poverty line. Every year, food valued at 200 billion yuan($32 billion)is thrown away in China. The volume is equivalent to the amount consumed by more than200 million people during a 12-month period.

[5] A proposal opposing waste in January is part of a drive by China's new leaders. Many provinces have launched their own more-detailed versions. Henan Province has ordered that business meals should have no more than four dishes, and alcohol is prohibited. Guizhou has set a time limit of 45 minutes on meals paid for by the public purse.

[6] The public has also adopted the idea. Many restaurants discourage customers from ordering more than they can eat. Taking leftovers home is encouraged. Some of them have started to use smaller plates and the prices are cheaper. A proposal on the Internet calling on people to eat everything on their plate attracted the participation of2. 74 million people within the first two weeks.

【题目】Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived(剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.

【题目】At the beginning of the World Series of 1947I experienced a completely new emotionwhen the National Anthem was playedThis timeI thoughtit is being played for meas much as for anyone elseThis is organized major league baseballand I am standing here with all the othersand everything that takes place includes me.

About a year laterI went to AtlantaGeorgiato play in an exhibition gameOn the fieldfor the first time in Atlantathere were Negroes and whitesOther Negroesbesides meAnd I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.

And what is it that I have always believedFirstthat imperfections are humanBut that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to thinkthose imperfections would disappearno matter how slowlyI do not believe that we have found or even approached perfectionThat is not necessarily in the scheme of human eventsHandicapsstumbling blocksprejudices — all of these are imperfectYetthey have to be dealt with because they are in the scheme of human events.

Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harderBut it would have been impossible for me to fight at allexcept that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chanceIt had a chance because it took place in a free societyNot once was I forced to face and fight an immovable objectNot once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at allFree minds and human hearts were at work all around meand so there was the probability of improvementI look at my children nowand know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.

But I can tell themtoothat they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before themAnd to myself I can say thatbecause progress is unalterablemany of today's dogmas (教条)will havevanishedby the time they grow into adultsI can say to my children: There is a chance for youNo guaranteebut a chanceAnd this chance has come to bebecause there is nothing static with free peopleThere is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forwardI do not believe that every personin every walk of lifecan succeed in spite of any handicapThat would be perfectionBut I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us no matter how slowlythe dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of todayand perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.

I believe in the human raceI believe in the warm heartI believe in man's honestyI believe in the goodness of a free societyAnd I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may existMy fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseballThis was the area where I found imperfectionand where I was best able to fightAnd I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fightIt couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free societyAnd in the largest senseI believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fightAnd that what was done for me must and will be done for others.
