To control the nation’s growing problem with food wastage, the South Korean government has started a special initiative (倡议) ---“Pay as You Trash”. According to the initiative, the South Korean government has three methods in place to charge citizens for the food thrown away. One is through an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) card — when users tap this card over a specially designed food waste bin, the lid will open. This waste is automatically weighed and recorded in the user’s account. The user needs to settle this bill every month.
The second billing method is through pre-paid garbage bags. These specially designed bags are priced based on the amount of space. For instance, in Seoul, a 10-liter garbage bag costs around 190 won (less than $1). There’s also a bar code management system in place, in which residents (居民) throw food waste directly into dustbins and pay for it by buying bar code stickers attached to the bin.
Even before the pay-by-weight system was introduced, South Koreans were still being charged for food waste — the cost was simply divided equally among the residents of each apartment block. The new system is not only fair, but is also designed to make consumers really feel the pinch of too much waste. The more food they throw out, the more they end up paying.
Thanks to the initiative, residents like Seoul housewife Ms. Kwan are now adopting creative methods to avoid food waste. She makes sure to pour all the liquid out of leftover food before throwing it away. While preparing vegetables, she tries to use as much as the eatable parts as possible in order to reduce waste.
1.Why does the South Korean government decide to launch the initiative?
A. Food waste is worsening the environment.
B. More and more food wastes are produced.
C. People are complaining about food waste.
D. People have little knowledge of saving food.
2.Before the initiative was launched, the residents .
A. didn’t pay for their food waste
B. paid for their food waste by weight
C. had to pay for their food garbage bags
D. paid for food waste equally in their blocks
3.The underlined word “pinch” in Paragraph 3 means “ ”.
A. joy B. amount
C. pain D. cause
4.According to the text, the initiative “Pay as You Trash” .
A. is working effectively B. was thought to be unfair at first
C. has a quite high running cost D. is being performed all over the country

Not very long ago, a special family system(体系) existed in certain parts of South India. In the system, the actual head of a family unit was the mother’s eldest brother, though the mother also had an important position in the family. In families of this kind, a husband was actually no more than a visitor. He did not live with his wife, but with his own mother, brothers and sisters in another house. He saw his sons and daughters sometimes, but the man who actually fed and cared for them and acted as their father was their uncle--- their mother’s brother.
But this system, in which brothers and sisters take the place of the father, no longer exists in South India except in a few villages. Economic(经济的) changes have had far- reaching effect on family life. Family life began to change when men went out to work in factories and offices instead of working with their mothers, brothers, and sisters on the land. When a man went out to work, he had money of his own and could buy his own land and build his own family, instead of depending on his mother and his brothers. He wanted to be independent(独立的). This is an example of the way in which economic relations can have an effect on family relationships.
1. The best title of this passage is ______.
| A．Husband Actually Visitor in Family |
| B．Family System in South India |
| C．Wife Has Important Position in Family |
| D．Economic Relations Affects Family Relationships |
2. Who had the actual control of a family in South India not long ago?
| A．The mother. | B．The mother’s eldest brother. |
| C．The father. | D．The father’s mother. |
3. In this system, the husband lived together with______.
| A．his wife | B．his sons and daughters |
| C．his mother, brothers and sisters | D．his wife’s brother |
4.Now in South India there are__ of this system in which a husband has no control of his family.
| A．no families | B．many more families |
| C．very few families | D．not any families |

When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohm.
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word “de”, which means “of”. This affects how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
1.The story of Bill Clinton is used to _____ .
A．improve US Korean relations
B．introduce the topic of the text
C．describe his visit to Korea
D．tell us how to address a person
2.The word “gears” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．action plans B．naming customs C．travel maps D．thinking patterns
3.When a woman marries in Korea, she _____.
A．continues to use her family name
B．uses her husband’s given name
C．shares her husband’s family name
D．adds her husband’s given name to hers
4.To address a married woman properly, you’d better ______ .
A．use her middle name B．use her husband’s first name
C．ask her which name she likes D．change the order of her names
5.What can NOT be inferred from the text? ______ .
A．Wives do not keep their family names in Japan.
B．Different countries have different naming customs in some way.
C．Naming custom will not cause any puzzle among Asian countries.
D．The naming custom in Korea is different from that of Japan.
