①According to a research, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply (供应). It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger.
②When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day, she came up with an idea. She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters (庇护所) in her community. In the past three years, the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city. The project is called Feed & Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city. How does it work? Through an app, Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter.
③Pretty cool, right? It’s not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura, hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.
④Some people, however, have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.

【推荐1】It was a few years ago. A friend had sent me a restaurant gift card and I had picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. I took my children to a nice sit-down restaurant.
The meal was delicious and we all had a good time. When the waitress (女侍者) brought the check, I looked down at it. The gift card included almost all of it. I reached into my wallet to get enough money to pay the rest. I saw two bills in my wallet. The first would include the rest of the check and a nice tip (小费). The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick the first one.
At that moment I looked back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter (侍者) in a restaurant. It was long hours’ hard work for low pay. I remembered that I often saw the waitresses and waiters counting their little tips and worrying about their hard life. I also remembered the pain in their eyes and saw the sadness on their faces.
I was back in the present again. My hand touched the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled and picked out the much larger bill. As we all got up from the table, I handed it to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change.” I said with a smile and a happy heart.
We are all one family in the world. We are all children of the same earth. We live together. So try to be good people and love children of nature.
