      What time is it? There are many ways you can find out the time. You may have a watch on your wrist (手腕). You can look at a clock on the wall. You can listen to the radio, watch TV or ring a number on the telephone to get the time. But do you know the history of how people tell the time?
       It has not always been easy to know the time. A long time ago people looked at the sun to tell the time. They could tell the time of the day by looking at the sun in the sky: morning, afternoon or evening.
       Around the year 1400, people began to use the hourglass(沙漏). It’s made of glass with some sand in it. It’s wide at both ends, but narrow in the middle. The sand ran from one end to the other in one hour. At the end of every hour, people turned the glass over and began again.
       Hundreds of years later a machine called clock was invented. After that people made small clocks, so that they could carry them in their pockets. Then, during World War Ⅰ men started wearing their watches on their wrists. It was more easily to tell the time. Now almost everyone wears a wrist watch.

There are long rivers, and there are famous rivers. The Nile is the world’s longest and most famous river. It runs 6,650 kilometers. Crocodiles and hippos live in its waters. Pyramids built by Egyptians rise along its banks.

The main branch of the Nile, the White Nile, starts just about Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest fresh-water lake, in east central Africa. Then it flows to the north. At Sudan’s capital, another great river called the Blue Nile joins the White Nile. Together, they form on every powerful river. Then it goes through Egypt’s famous Nile Valley before reaching the Mediterranean Sea.

Ancient Egypt, the first great African civilization, started along the banks of the Nile more than 5,000 years ago. Ancient Egypt ruled the Nile Valley for thousands of years. Great pyramids and temples were built on the banks and we can still visit them today.

Without the rich farmland along the banks of Nile, there might be no ancient Egyptian civilization. Every year, the Nile flooded its banks. The flood waters covered the banks with a rich soil. The Nile’s banks were easy to farm and produce crops.

The Nile also made a perfect highway for boats. The river runs north, but the wind on the river blows south. To go south, boaters put up sail to catch the wind. To go north, they took the sails down. Ancient people traded along the river for hundreds of miles.

In some countries, lunch time often means soup time! However, soup is just one thing that can be eaten for lunch. What you eat for lunch may be different from the lunch of someone who lives in another country. Let’s see together!

Mexico: Tasting Tortillas (薄玉米饼)

Many children in Mexico eat tortillas for lunch. Most tortillas are made from ground corn. But sometimes wheat flour (面粉) is used. Do you know the shapes of tortillas? Tortillas are usually flat and round, but they can also be made into other shapes. Delicious sauces, called salsas, are often added totacos (玉米卷). These sauces are made from tomatoes, onions and hot peppers.

Russia: Sipping Soup

Winters in Russia are very cold. Maybe that’s why many Russian children eat soup for lunch.   Two of their favorites are cabbage soup and beet (甜菜) soup. Many Russian soups also include potatoes. They are an important crop in Russia. They make soups thick and rich. Eating thick soups can help keep people warm and can fill them up, so hunger is not a problem.

South Korea: Passing the Pickles (泡菜)

Meals in Korea are made up of many dishes. No matter what else is served, there is always rice.   Kimchi (泡菜) is also always on the table. Kimchi is a kind of meat or vegetable. Korean children mix together many dishes at meals. It’s common for their food to be hot and spicy (辣的).

These are what kids are eating for lunch around the world.

8 . Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste, according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization（联合国粮农组织）. Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell-by date, while families throw away food that they can’t finish eating.

The world’s first food bank was founded in the US in 1967. Some people and stores donated （捐赠）extra food to the bank. People could take the food home there if they didn’t have money to buy any for themselves. In Shanghai, there is a “shared fridge” in some communities. It is free for everyone to take food from it.

A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell-by date is still safe to eat. They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes. You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary. If you don’t want to spend money, you can volunteer at the cafes instead.

What else can we do to stop food waste? The answer is simply buying less food.

Share more, throw less
Food     1    .	Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste. Supermarkets throw away food that has     2     its sell-by date. Families throw away food that they can’t finish eating.
Food bank.	It was created in the US in 1967. People who couldn’t     3    any food for themselves could get food for free. Shanghai communities have shared fridges.
Pay as you     4    .	The Real Junk Food Project collects that food that is not sold before its sell-by date. People can get food by volunteering at the cafes     5    paying as they wish.
Buy less.	That’s the least people can do.
