A months-long drought affecting most of southern Africa has led to serious food shortage for millions of people.

The United Nations estimates(估计 )that more than 11 million people are facing extreme lack of food. The World Food Program says southern Africa has received normal rainfall in just one of the past five growing seasons.

Among the hardest hit areas is South Africa’s Northern Cape province. There, many farmers are struggling to keep their families and animals alive as they lose money and debt grows. Sheep farmer Louis told the AP he had lost more than 400 sheep over the past two years. He said this drought was the worst during his 45 years of farming. He got emotional while explaining that he now accepted donations of animal feed so he could keep the rest of his animals alive.

It’s estimated that this area will need at least $28 million over the next three months to assist 15, 500 affected farms. So far, South Africa’s government has promised $2 million.

Gertruida from Vosburg told the AP things had gotten so bad that she shared her family’s food with their animals. Small children were hungry, too. At Vosburg’s only school, Delta Primary School, large groups of children lined up for what became both breakfast and lunch. The meal usually included corn meal, vegetables and soup. “It’s very hard for the parents to actually feed their children at home, “one teacher said.

In Kimberley, the capital of Northern Cape, government officials give out money from the $2 million disaster aid program. The job can be difficult because some farmers live in places that are not easy to get to.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about the drought?

A.It has lasted a whole month.

B.It is the worst in Africa’ s history.

C.It has killed 400 sheep altogether.

D.It affects Northern Cape worst.

2.Why were Louis’ feelings out of control?

A.Because his debts grew.

B.Because he got donations.

C.Because he lost more sheep.

D.Because his children went hungry.

3.What’s the text mainly about?

A.Government takes measures to fight the rare drought.

B.People carry out self-rescue after the severe drought.

C.Farmers suffer a loss of animals because of the drought.

D.Deadly drought in Southern Africa leaves millions hungry.

Instagram is containing so many photos of food — now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.

I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. 'The Picture House' is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people's addiction to photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye's 'Food for Life' campaign(活动), a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. "Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special," said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way.

1.Instagram probably is ____.

A. a restaurant free of charge　　 B. a new marketing project

C. a project used to share photos　　 D. a campaign of “Food for Life”

2.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to _______.

A. attract more customers　　 B. raise the price of frozen food

C. create a new social media trend　　 D. reward the regular customers

3.The writer’s attitude towards pay-by-picture concept is ___________.

A. negative　　 B. neutral (中立的)

C. positive　　 D. angry

4.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A. No Need to Pay.　　 B. The Pop-up Diner.

C. Food for Life.　　 D. Pay by Picture.
