【题目】Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, “Every grain(谷物,粮食) on the plate comes from hard work.” But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food. A CCTV program reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were over 820 million hungry people around the world in 2018, especially in developing countries. In China, nearly 134million people are hungry. What’s worse, 150million children die of hunger every year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Years ago, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(解雇) because she took some leftover food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food?

Here are some tips: 1.Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you have ordered, take the rest of it home. 2.Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

【题目】It seems that every time I have car trouble on the road, no one ever stops to see if I'm okay. I always spent hours on the side of the road. But one time, someone did stop to help me. And the words of the man who helped me have had a big effect (影响) on my life.

One of my tires(轮胎) went flat. I had a spare tire but no jack(千斤顶) to lift up the car. I was going to give up when a van (客货两用车) stopped behind my car and someone jumped out. It was an older Mexican man, driving with his family.

He didn't speak much English, but his daughter helped to translate between us. It was hard work, but he tried to help me put the new tire on. I tried to give him some money for his help, but he kept shaking his head "no" and refusing my money. I secretly gave it to his wife instead.

After chatting for a few minutes, we went our separate way. But when I got back in my car, I saw my money sitting in the seat. I drove back to the man and gave him the money. He refused one last time, and said to me, "Today you, tomorrow me."

These simple words have encouraged (鼓励) me to help others when I can because you never know when you're going to be the one who needs help.

Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and1 pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big 2 may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you, when you study hard on your lessons, your parents are always3 good care of your life and your health; when you4, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to 5 it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a 6 of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be 7 with money.

When you meet with difficulties, you can say 8 you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge 9. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving door. when it 10, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
