Oct.16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It’s used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.

A big number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. Food shortage（匮乏）is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1,000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts（干旱）and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.

Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don’t use it before it goes bad. The average（平均的）person throws away 50 kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.

That is over1, 300, 000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.

So think twice next time you want to throw away food. By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat in a restaurant. If you can’t eat all you order, take the rest home. Don’t be too picky about food so that you don’t leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.

When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources（资源）are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.

The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. Activities are held to show love and respect to old people.

Respecting(尊敬) older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, both hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded(拥挤的) subway or bus.

In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement(退休)they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. But of course among westerners older people are respected, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discount(打折) in stores and restaurants.

But western seniors don’t often live with their children alone. For holidays, the families usually meet at their grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.

1.When is the Double Ninth Festival?

2.What can the young learn from older people?

3.How many ways in which Chinese people express their respect are mentioned?

Nov. 21 is World Hello Day. It began back in the 1970s as part of an effort to make the world more peaceful. It was created by the United Nations just after the war between Israel and Egypt in 1973. Its aim is to encourage people to use communication rather than force to settle conflicts(解决争端)。 The philosophy (理念) behind it is: Say “Hello” and stop war.

It sounds like a fine idea, but most of us know that simple saying “Hello” won’t bring about world peace. Still, the simple act of saying “hello ”to someone can truly make a lot of difference. You raise your head to someone as you pass by , say “Hello’.It is such a casual (不经意的)thing and requires so little effort, but you might even make his day.

Although we might not realize it, a small thing like a greeting can mean a lot to a person. Some people are lonely because they’re shy. That leads to them feeling cut off.they find it difficult to communicate with people, even though they want to. They may secretly smile in their hearts after they hear your greetings. It’s a good idea, not just on Nov.21, but every day, to remember to say “hello”to as many people as we can.

No one said it better than the French writer Joseph Joubert: “Politeness is the flower of humanity(人性)’’. A “Hello” to a stranger is a small thing, and often neglected (忽视), but through it we can make the world better for another person.

1.World hello day was created by ____

A. Israel　　 B. Egypt　　 C. France　　 D. United Natons.

A. Because they are shy　　 B. Because they are polite

C. Saying “hello” will bring about world peace
