Dear Mr. Smith,

I currently rent (租) APT #832 in the Canyon Crossing apartments. Overall, I am happy with the location. At the beginning I had planned to live here for at least two years. I like here.

However, I am very disappointed in that there seems to be a terrible roach (蟑螂) problem. I can’t invite any guest over because of this problem and I cannot recommend (推荐) Canyon Crossing to any of my classmates either.

I have left two voice mails for you which are concerned with this problem. You have not returned either one. Therefore, this letter is my next step in hoping to solve the problem. I am kindly asking you to ask an exterminator (灭蟑人) by July 15th. If you fail to do so, I will have no choice but to make a complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau).

You are welcome to text me anytime at (435) 234-3452. I hope this problem will be solved soon.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely, Unhappy Ursula

Dear Sir,

I am a new resident (居民) at Sunning Court. I have seen the condition of the building becoming worse and worse since I moved here last year.

First of all, the management of the building is really terrible. Sometimes, there is a bad smell when I walk on the road. I see much rubbish there. No cleaners clean the rubbish. Many roaches and rats run around the building.

My second problem is about the security (安全). I always see the guards reading newspapers or smoking when they are on duty. The security room is very dusty too. When I want to use the phone, they say, “We can’t help.”

I am therefore writing to demand your company’s action to improve the situation. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Wong

Up to two-fifths of a food crop is often wasted because it is “ugly”, a report on food waste has shown.

Produce grown in the UK that does not meet retailer(零售商) standards on appearance is often given to animals or thrown out even though it is healthy to eat.

The report from the UK’s global food security program also showed that the average household throws away more than 5kg of food a week, and nearly two-thirds of that waste is avoidable.

The waste costs ? 480 a year per household on average, and ? 680 per family.

Households throw away a fifth of the food they buy, wasting it for reasons ranging from cooking too much to not using it before it goes bad, the study showed.

Consumption is the top area where food is wasted in the UK, the study said.

Farmers respond to consumer demands for high-quality food with standards that can lead to the crop being wasted. Some supermarkets have started marketing “odd shapes and sizes” of fruit and vegetables, though.

Also, more UK consumers are prepared to accept “ugly” fruit and vegetables, amid concerns over sustainability(可持续发展) and food prices, the research said.

In developing countries, much of the loss of food occurs during post-harvesting storage, processing and packaging.

Tackling waste globally is necessary to feed a growing world population sustainably. One in eight people worldwide doesn’t have enough food, the report said.

Around a third of food produced globally is lost or wasted.

Professor Tim Benton, an expert on food security at the University of Leeds, said: “Over 5 million people in the UK live in poverty, where basic food provision is a daily challenge.”

Nearly 400,000 people used food banks last year, according to the Trussell Trust.

“At the same time, 15 million tons of food is wasted annually, with nearly half thrown away within UK households. Reducing the scale(范围) of losses and waste throughout the food system is a crucial step.”

The report highlights priorities(优先事项) for research to help reduce food waste, including improving harvesting and packaging technologies and seasonal weather prediction.

1. Food waste in developing nations is mainly due to .

A. fast growing populations

B. huge demand for high-quality foods

C. poor technology in food industries

D. people’s lack of concern about food shortages

2.We can conclude from the article that .

A. over half of the food produce in the UK is wasted within households

B. “ugly” fruits and vegetables are becoming more and more popular in the UK

C. avoiding food waste could, by itself, solve food shortage problems around the world

D. developing better farming and packaging technologies is key to reducing food waste

3.Which of the following statements might Professor Tim Benton agree with?

A. British farmers should keep up with their high growing standards.

B. The number of people living in poverty is growing too fast in Britain.

C. There is still much to do to improve British people’s awareness of food sustainability.

D. British supermarkets should be encouraged to sell food of odd shapes and sizes.

4.What is suggested in the report?

A. Cutting food prices.

B. Using different approaches to reduce food waste.

C. Improving the appearance of food.

D. Cooking at home more often.
