Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.
People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, "tree of goodness".
The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it's been there. But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.
The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.
"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin," she said.
1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A tree planted on March 23.
B. The fridge outside for the hungry to take from.
C. The popular restaurant in Kochi, India.
D. A neighboring tree near Pappadavada.
2.What does the manager of the restaurant advise in the last paragraph?
A. People shouldn't throw foods into dustbin.
B. Everyone should always avoid waste.
C. People shouldn't buy food for that.
D. Everyone should help those in need.
3.What is special about Minu Pauline?
A. She runs her restaurant in a different way.
B. She saves food and helps others in a wise way.
C. She sets a higher standard to deal with waste.
D. She makes the community more friendly to each other.

Variety is the spice of language. The words listed in this book are not intended to replace those that most people use most of the time. Rather, they are variations on the theme. We tend to use the same old words over and over again, to limit our powers of expression by limiting our vocabulary. 1. but why not enhance your speech and writing by learning to use new ones from time to time ds alternatives?
How often have you spoken of having an accident? 2. Or why not occasionally describe a situation as aggravated(恶化)instead of worsened.
I don’t mean that you should throw away the Mold words”. 3. English is an especially rich language, and often there are differences between two words that are generally regarded as die same. Thus, a mishap is not merely an accident; it is an unfortunate accident. Because there can be fortunate accidents, like bumping into an old friend you haven’t seen for years and whose address you’ve lost. 4..
No doubt a good many words in the list will be familiar to you, but do you use them, or do they remain the “property” of others? 5. Try to make these words your own, as companions or friendly rivals of the ones you have owned in the past. Let them compete, and make your language all the richer.
A. Just vary them with the “new words”.
B. Many words have more than one meaning.
C. There is nothing wrong with the “old words”.
D. English words are grouped according to their origins.
E. Why not use the alternative mishap once in a while?
F. They are included to introduce variety into your speech and writing.
G. So in using mishap instead of accident, you must be sure of the difference.

Have you ever intended to be fully absorbed in your work but found yourself distracted (走神) by e-mail, the Internet and other things throughout the day? According to the survey made by a famous university in the USA, most people have the experience.
“People often lose their concentration when they are bored, of course, but also when they are engaged in challenging tasks,” says Peter Bregman, the head of the survey. “They sometimes have a feeling to escape from what’s difficult or boring, so they jump out,” he says. The part of the brain devoted to attention is connected to the brain’s emotional center. Any strong emotion —quarrels with colleagues, problems at home —can interrupt our attention. Studies over the last decade have shown that too much work to do at a time can easily lead to distraction.
Refocusing is hard for many people. Robert Epstein suggests the following, “Stop and listen to some soft music for a few minutes. Find a good friend or a teacher and say out your matter on your mind. Go for a short walk or take a deep breath, where you breathe in deeply, count to five slowly, hold it and breathe out very slowly. This can blow out all the tension and the unwanted in your mind to restore your focus.”
Take more control by structuring your time and becoming more aware of your behaviors.“Setting the phone alarm to go off every hour is my way of creating awareness,”Mr. Bregman says.“You have to inform yourself that you’ve lost focus in order to do something about it.” Starting the day with a to-do list is also important, such as when to eat, when to go to the gym or take a walk. But if it’s overly ambitious, you will put yourself in a state of anxiety, which makes it hard for the brain to concentrate. “Choosing three or four things as your priority (优先) for the day allows your brain to settle down and focus,” he says.
1.According to the passage, which is NOT the reason why some people can be distracted from their work?
A. They don’t want to be devoted to their work.
B. They are disturbed by the Internet and other things.
C. They can’t find interest in their work.
D. They feel their work is too hard for them.
2.Which incident might not interrupt your attention?
A. You were scolded by your teacher.
B. You had words with your good friend.
C. You went to school at six as usual.
D. Your mother and father had a quarrel.
3.According to Robert Epstein, how can we refocus on what we should do?
A. Listen to rock music for some time.
B. Turn to your good friends or teachers for help.
C. Run around the playground for some time.
D. Take a breath from time to time.
4.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “restore”in the passage?
A. recover B. reform
C. release D. react
