Old George selected his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was happy to think that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the cold wind made him think of his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants but could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a good price, for just $ 35, years ago. They were soft and very comfortable. He had taken great care of them. So they were in good condition.
George looked calm on his face but felt mad inside. He went into the store again. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be useless. His black gloves were gone. "People have changed, "he said to himself. "Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. "He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out into the street.
A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair of gloves.
Before getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. "What color are they?" the woman in the office asked. "Black, "he answered. She looked into her drawer and took out of a pair of man's leather gloves. "Are they?"
"Yes! Those are mine, " George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy.

In Shanghai City, when people throw away wet waste, they must take the wet waste (mainly food waste) out of the rubbish bag first. Then, they throw the rubbish bag into another trashcan(垃圾桶). This is not easy to do.
Shi Yuan is a 14-year-old student from Shanghai Wenlai Middle School. One rainy day in May, 2019, when he was throwing away wet waste, he got food waste all over his trousers. Then, he decided to do something about this. He made a special rubbish bag for wet waste. The bag has a band of adhesive tape(粘贴带). When one end of the tape is open, the bag turns upside down by itself. Then, people can easily throw wet waste into the trashcan. Shi’s idea won him a prize in the Shanghai Adolescents Science & Technology Innovation Contest. So far, he has sold over 2 million bags online. And on May 4, 2020, he began to sell his bags in 11 supermarkets in Shanghai.

Experts in nutrition suggest that we should eat at least five different kinds of vegetables and fruit a day. They are very necessary for our health and help our bodies work well. They can help reduce the risk of getting ill. There are a lot of vegetables and fruit to choose from and they taste delicious. 1.
It's easy to buy our food from the local supermarket, so why do we go to the trouble of growing our own? Here are several good reasons：
2. You can pick and eat it at once. When you have tried it, you will agree that vegetables and fruit that are eaten straight from the garden taste better than anything you can buy in a supermarket.
You may want to cut down on your “food miles”—the distance that a product has travelled before it reaches your kitchen. Many food packages are flown halfway across the earth. 3. Homegrown food is likely to be healthier. Food producers often use fertilizers and pesticides which can end up in your food. If you grow your own, things are different. 4. You might also choose to grow some traditional vegetables and fruit. These often have more important things that keep you healthy.
5. And you can grow your own even if you only have a small backyard. Some food can grow well in pots, including tomatoes, potatoes and carrots. You can recycle plastic bottles and cups to grow something. Just make sure there are holes for drainage and a small plate under them to catch drops of water.
A.Best of all, you can grow your own!
B.That's not so good for you, or for the planet.
C.Food that you grow yourself is always fresh.
D.If you have a large garden, growing your own is easy.
E.You can control what goes on and into the food you eat.
