Have you ever been to Thailand? And what did you learn about Thai people? After traveling 1. Thailand for over a month, I’ve seen and learnt quite a few things --- not just about the country, but also about 2. people. Here are some things that I’ve learnt about Thai people.
They always give you the warmest, friendliest smile if you smile first.
Thai people are often very 3., and many of them smile at you in the street. But most of the times, they look at you. If your 4. meet and you smile, then they smile back right away. If you don’t smile, however, 5. do they. My experience is that they smile more brightly than you when you smile first.
No matter(无论）6. early you get up in the morning, most people are already awake and working. It’s true that I’m an early bird. But no matter when I get up, it feels like Thai people have been awake for just a little 7. than me. They are already in their shops, at the markets or in the factories 8. I get up. It’s not that Thai people never sleep; they just don’t sleep the way we do.
When it comes to transport, there’s no such thing as “full”.
The buses are always 9. in Thailand. Even if some kids have to hang (悬挂）off the end of the bus, there is still space 10. more people. Once we had about 33 people in a very small bus. It was crazy!

Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don’t sell? Well, you might be shocked (震惊) to find out that nearly one third of food produced for human gets lost or wasted. What’s more, around 800 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy life.
Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something about this imbalance and make use of thrown-out food that can be perfectly eaten. For example, there is a cafe in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all created using unsold food from supermarkets, including a lot of vegetables, fruit, fish and other things. This unwanted food is turned into delicious soups and all kinds of dishes that feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers simply pay what they can afford, or help with the washing up. In just ten months, 10,000 people were fed at this cafe, using twenty tons of unwanted food!
Also, last year the UK’s first food waste supermarket opened. The supermarket is near Leeds and works on a “pay as you feel”; customers pay whatever they want for the produce. The stock (库存) changes daily but you can usually find things such as fresh vegetables, fruit and milk there. Some low-income families have said that it has changed their lives.
“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Surplus (多余的) food from supermarkets such as vegetables, fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.
I lived in Leeds for three years, and have had lunch at a food waste cafe, and it was delicious. I couldn’t believe that it was all food that supermarkets had thrown away! I have also taken part in projects such as “Foodcycle”, using supermarkets’ unwanted food to cook meals for poor people.
More cafes like this are being opened in other parts of the UK, and it is now becoming popular in the world. I think this is an amazing act as food waste is one of the world’s biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed, so that supermarkets don’t throw away so much perfectly good food!
1.800 million people in the world can’t live a healthy life because of ______.
A. unsold food B. unwanted food
C. being unable to work D. being short of food
2.According to the passage, the writer agrees that ______.
A. buying the waste food can protect the environment
B. all the people in the world make use of waste food
C. food waste in the world can be solved by the UK soon
D. the government should make the law to stop food waste
3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to save food.
B. To introduce some supermarkets in the UK.
C. To share his personal experience in saving food.
D. To explain why he cooked meals for poor people.

Have you ever thought about what kind of job you would like to have when you grow up? Many people think that we can have only one job in our lifetime. We all know that this is not true, but quite a few people actually think this way. For example, when people choose a major （专业）in college, they think that the decisions they make now will decide their jobs for the rest of their lives. However, there are many examples where people became successful after changing their careers （职业）later in life.
J. K. Rowling, writer of the famous novel Harry Potter, was actually a school teacher before she began writing books. In fact, she was out of work before the first Harry Potter book came out.
Former US President Ronald Reagan began as an actor when he was a young man. He later decided that he wanted to do political work. This kind of passion（激情）finally led him （p become President of the United States.
The famous 19th century artist Vincent Van Gogh was not a painter from the beginning. He once worked as an art salesman and later became a preacher. It was only 10 years before he died that he decided to become an artist.
Careers are always open to change. The important thing is to find what you are really good at or what you really want to do. Once you find that passion, it * s all a matter of how hard you try.
