The message what the "Eat up All on Your Plate" campaign tries to convey is not new. Our ancestors had poems about the importance of frugality (节俭) in the consumption of food. But it makes a lot of sense when many are yet to have the awareness that food waste borders on a crime.

The campaign has been started online and thousands of people have answered the call. Many restaurants have joined the program by announcing that customers are encouraged to order half a dish and take home what they can't finish.

However, it is estimated (估计) that 50 million tons of grain are wasted every year in China, enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

True, official banquets (宴席) paid with public money contribute much to such waste. But it is important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. We need to develop the habit of never ordering or cooking more than we can eat and feeling guilty when we dump our leftovers.

Many people have a bad habit of entertaining guests with more than enough food, believing that they have not satisfied their guests' appetites if there is no food left on the table. In fact, to be a good host they order more than their guests can possibly eat and their guests eat more than they want out of politeness.

Such a mentality needs to change. People need to be made aware that it is impolite to force guests to eat more than they are comfortable with and it is insensible and uncivilized to waste food. Even if one is wealthy, ordering more than one can eat is a bad way to show off one's wealth.

1. The writer thinks the campaign "Eat up All on Your Plate" makes sense because______.

A. some people have some bad eating habits

B. some officials are wasting a lot of food

C. wasting food is still rather common in China

D. saving food is a traditional virtue of China

2.The writer shows how serious the problem of food waste is by_____.

A. Using examples

B. Offering figures

C. Comparing

D. Analyzing people’s attitude

【小题3The problem of food waste can be handled only when_______.

A. officials are forbidden to eat out with public money

B. more similar campaigns like this one have been started

C. restaurants don’t serve all the food people have ordered

D. everyone takes action to fight against food waste

Much like a smartphone, your body will go to sleep when there are no new inputs. When you are on a bus, your senses will give you the same repetitive inputs. The streets will flow by, the engine adds constant white noise, you’re seated and not moving, and the smell... well you hope the smell doesn’t change.

Any repetitive input going to your brain will eventually be ignored and your brain will start going into a low energy state. The fact that you fall asleep quickly when closing your eyes on a bus is because you were already on the bus for a while and got used to all the repetitive sensory data.

When you go to bed, you have a lot of new changes. You are lying down, you wear different clothes, you feel the pressure of your covers, you go from bright to dark, noisy to quiet. All of these are new sensory inputs that your brain needs to get used to before going to sleep.

A laboratory experiment to investigate the effects of whole-body vibration (震动) on seated human alertness and sleepiness was carried out. Vibration was applied to the volunteers sitting on the vehicle seat on the vibration platform. Volunteers for this investigation included 18 young male and healthy university students. None of the volunteers had a history of neck pain, diseases of the cervical spine or musculoskeletal disorders. Seated volunteers were exposed to a Gaussian random vibration, with 1–15 Hz frequency bandwidth at 0.2 ms−2 r.m.s., for 20-minutes.

The results suggest that exposure to vibration even for 20-minutes can cause significant sleepiness. The data clearly show that exposure to vibration has considerable influence on subjective sleepiness levels, and more importantly, human reaction times and decrease of attention.

Drowsy driving has been reported to account for approximately 20% of accidents worldwide. In Australia, 16.6% of total road deaths were caused by sleep-related accidents in 1998 alone. It is well established that sleepiness caused by extended hours of driving has considerable influence on driver performance, therefore, compromising transportation safety.

These findings need to be further proved particularly in relation to driving behavior. This line of research can then assist in the development of practical and relevant guidelines for limitation of vibration exposure in the automotive industry, in an effort to reduce the burden of road accidents. That’s something for both car manufacturers and road safety experts to think about.

1.According to the passage, why do we fall asleep quickly on the bus?

A.Because we meet a lot of new changes.

B.Because the surroundings become quiet.

C.Because we get used to the repetitive sensory data.

D.Because our senses give us different kinds of inputs.

2.What is the purpose of the experiment?

A.To investigate people’s sleeping hours and situation.

B.To research whether vibration can affect people’s health.

C.To study the relationship between inputs and people’s attention.

D.To find out how shaking affects people’s sleepiness in the vehicle.

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Sleepy driving is the main cause of road accidents.

B.The research has helped to reduce the burden of road accidents.

C.The findings of the experiment have been recognized by road safety experts.

D.The research results can give some implications to the automobile production.

4.What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?

A.Positive. B.Negative.

C.Disappointed. D.Indifferent.

Rather than rolling your eyes when it’s your turn to bow your head and give thanks, try being grateful. The result just might be good for you, from improving your feeling to your relationships. If you don’t want to voice your gratitude, writing a letter may work, according to various studies by Steve Toepfer of Kent State University and his colleagues.

Toepfer and his colleagues had 219 students with an average age of 25 fill out questionnaires（问卷）to measure their happiness. They returned to the lab to fill out the survey three more times, with each visit about a week apart. Some of the students wrote a letter of gratitude each time they returned to the lab, while the control group didn’t write about being thankful.

“The letter writers were instructed to write a letter of gratitude to anyone they wanted, however, the letter couldn’t be a‘thank you’note for a gift,” Toepfer said. “The participants had to write about something that was important to them.”

The results showed that their levels of happiness and life satisfaction improved after each letter they wrote. In addition, depressive symptoms decreased over time with the letter writing.

Gratitude doesn’t just cheer you up—it can improve your health and energy levels as well. A 2007 study conducted by researchers found that organ-transplant(器官移植) receivers who kept “gratitude journals” listing five things or people that they were grateful for each day scored better on measures of general health, and mental health than those who only made routine notes about their days.

A successful relationship may depend on your gratitude. Research reported in 2011 looking at more than 65 couples who were in satisfying relationships showed that each couple’s relationship quality corresponded with one partner’s feelings of gratitude. Researchers show that one partner expressed feelings of gratitude; both partners experienced a positive emotional response.

1.According to the passage, if you want to get along well with others, you’d better________.

A. write letters to them frequently

B. pay more attention to their feelings

C. show your thanks from time to time

D. take care of them when they are in need

A. is cold to others’ kindness

B. is not good at writing letters

C. is unwilling to express their feelings

D. is not allowed to write thank-you letters

3.From the passage we can infer that people who often show gratitude are less likely to be __________.

A. nervous　　 B. careless

C. depressed　　 D. optimistic

4.From the passage, we can learn that _________.

A. it’s better to write a thank-you letter than to say gratitude with words

B. the results of different ways of showing gratitude are all the same

C. the good relationship of each couple is based on trust

D. gratitude is beneficial to health

5.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Why you should be grateful

B. Ways of changing your feeling

C. How to show your gratitude to others

D. Thank-you letters’ role to human relations
