The story happened on a hot heavy rainy day.
After class, I took a few bottles to go and   36  some water from the water room. Oh! There were so many people! I had to wait   37  the rain. My hair didn't get wet because I wore a hat, but my clothes  38  .
When at last it was my   39  , I filled the bottles as quickly as possible. I began making my way back when I saw a boy   40  towards me. He   41  two umbrellas in his hand. He shouted hello and as he came   42  , I recognized that it was Tom.
He   43  my classmate for nearly three years, but we never   44  more than ten sentences. He was silent, but I liked talking. We were quite   45  people and had nothing in common. I didn't   46  him and even didn't want to see him.
"Hey! What's wrong?" His words   47  me out of my thought. "I saw you   48  in the rain, so I brought you this umbrella. But it seems a little   49  , your clothes are already wet,"
On hearing this, I was so   50  that I couldn't say a single word.
"Don't just stand there. Let's go!" He said and held the umbrella for me. We walked towards   51  and this time we talked   52  .
"I know you don't like me, but I want to   53  with you." he said, "You may think I am silent, but it is because I can't find the right   54  to say."
The rain finally stopped and we saw a rainbow in the blue sky. I said to myself, "It is wrong to  55 someone only by his appearance.

Experts in the food industry are thinking a lot about trash(垃圾) these days. Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are making up for the rising costs of waste in new ways. Some are tracking their trash with software systems making food in smaller amount or trying to cut down on trash-hauling(托运)costs. Roughly 30% percent of food in the United States goes to waste, costing some $48 billion annually according to a Stockholm International Water Institute study. A 2004 University of Arizona study estimated that 40 to 50 percent of food in the United States is wasted. Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campus’s biggest dining halls to find there were no cafeteria trays. Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38% percent at the cafeterias, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Tech’s sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbled whatever looked good at the canteen, only to find at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said.

   That same phenomenon often happens at Oregon’s Portland International Airport. Busy travelers often throw half-eaten meals into trash cans, adding dozens of tons of waste that the airport must pay the city to haul away. Now the airport is carrying out a program to install food-only trash carts. The food waste is collected in biodegradabe(可生物分解的) bags and given to the city to use as compost(堆肥). Besides being environmentally friendly, the changes may save the airport money. It costs about $82 to have one ton of trash hauled from the airport to the city landfill(垃圾掩埋场). But food waste costs about $48 a ton to haul.

   Cutting back on the waste can require spending money on software and training. LeanPath, based in Portland, Ore, sells a software system to track food being thrown out. Steve Peterson, head chef at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, said he was surprised when he installed the LeanPath system and saw the value of food that was going out the back door. To cut costs, Peterson decided to reduce serving sizes. He said customers weren’t bothered by the switch, which has helped him lower food waste by between 15 to 20 percent over 18 month.

75. What’s the benefit of installing food-only trash cans at the airport?

 A. Keeping the airport clean and tidy.

 B. Fastering the process of making trash into compost.

 C. Reducing the cost of removing the trash.

 D. Reminding the passengers to produce less trash.

76. In which way can software help reduce the food waste?

 B. It can help people to be informed of the food waste.

 C. It can calculate the total amount of the food offered.
