When I first came to UK from China at 6, I entered the first grade.1.. I saw children throw their left over food into the large trash cans-from half-eaten pizzas to untouched burgers. I watched them pour their milk into a white bucket. In China, this was a huge no-no in school. We had to finish everything.

One day, my first grade teacher announced that we would be having a party and everyone was told to bring something from their country.2.. My mom stayed up after her long day of work and made many dumplings. She put them in the fridge and woke up early in the morning to steam them and fry them so they would taste extra fresh when I brought them to school. They smelled great and looked golden brown after they were cooked.

I was so excited to share these with my class and teachers. It was placed in the corner of the table next to all the other delicious food.3.. One or two kids bravely took a piece and knew what they were because they had it with their parents at a Chinese restaurant. At the end of the party, it was cleanup. My teacher walked up to me and asked, pointing to the dumplings, “Would you like to take these home?” I carefully replied, “No...”4.. I thought she was going to share it with other teachers, but immediately after I said that, she threw all the dumplings into the trash and continued cleaning. I was confused; what just happened?

5.. And today I still witness this frequently in my English friends. Please eat all your food or take it to go or hare it or just get enough so you don’t have to throw it away. Thank you.

A. In China, “no” usually means “yes”

B. I got super excited and told my parents

C. It was very impolite to take your gift home

D. This was the biggest culture shock I have experienced

E. When I got home, I shared the experience with my parents

F. Many kids had the cookies and juices and were hesitant to try the dumplings

G. I didn’t understand why kids were getting their lunch food and not finishing it

A town in Oxfordshire has become the first in the UK to have biomethane(生物甲烷)gas from human waste piped to their homes for gas central heating and cooking．

Up to 200 families in Didcot now receive the gas via the national gas power system. Head of energy and technology at British Gas，Martin Orrill，said customers wouldn’t notice any difference as the gas is purified to the highest standard and has no smell．The gas is produced at a sewage(污物) treatment works in Didcot．

The entire process takes only less than three weeks, with the sewage being collected and sent first to settlement tanks．The solid waste material is then fed into digesters, where anaerobic bacteria(厌氧菌)digest the sewage，with the aid of enzymes(酶)to speed up the process．The digestion process produces methane，which can be burned to drive machines(甲烷)to produce electricity，or can be purified and fed into the gas network and piped to homes and businesses. British Gas says supplying the gas rather than electricity is far more efficient since around two-thirds of the energy is lost in producing electricity.

Partners in the Didcot project，British Gas，Scotia Gas Network，and Thames Water，all hope to expand the process to other towns，and other companies such as Ecotricity and United Utilities have also announced biomethane projects being planned．One of these projects in Manchester could be supplying 500 homes with biomethane by mid next year. Another British Gas project in Suffolk will provide gas from digestion of brewery(啤酒厂)waste to around 235 families．

The Didcot project cost￡25 million and was influenced by promises of government aids aimed at encouraging companies to develop renewable technologies．An EU directive means the UK must ensure at least 15 percent of its energy is from renewable sources by 2020．

The UK produces about 1.73 million tons of sewage annually．If all sewage treatment works in the UK were fitted with the technology，they could supply gas for up to 350, 000 families.

1..   Which of the following is TRUE of the biomethane gas?

A. it’s mainly made from rotting plants      B. It’s an environmentally friendly gas

C. Its production process is too long        D. It’s easily recognized by customers

2..   What is the function of the enzymes?

A. To digest the solid waste material        B. To help get rid of anaerobic bacteria

C. To help purify the biomethane．         D. To speed up the digestion process．

3..   According to the passage，the biomethane gas had better be used________.

A. as the power for vehicles         B. for heating and cooking

C. to produce electricity            D. to drive a variety of machines

4..   The last three paragraphs mainly show that ________.

A. the UK government supports the biomethane projects

B. the biomethane projects are very costly

C. the biomethane projects still face many barriers

D. the biomethane projects are promising
