1 . Qi Haoran, a Junior One student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation – and not just with homework. Qi, together with 10 other classmates made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘行动).

The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Could you please not waste food?” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.

The Clean Your Plate Campaign began on the Internet in January. It calls on people to reduce food waste.

China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported in January that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all their food.

Luckily the campaign has got the support of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives the guests who have eaten up all that they ordered a sticker. People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their guests to take leftovers(吃剩的食物) home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

Immediately an aged policeman came ________a side room.

“Come along with me, young man!” said the policeman.

“What’s the matter?” the man talked back in a cold voice.

“Look at this!” it was a woman’s angry voice.

The man couldn’t help looking up and to his surprise he ________it was the woman clerk who was holding the identity card   ________her face. Also, the photo on it suggested she was just the owner of the bankbook！

9 . When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get _______ with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very _______ because of this.

But a girl with dark skin and long shiny hair _______ me. Her best characteristics are her openness and _______. She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. Without _______ I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I gradually became a _______ girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone _______ to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt _________ and helpless and I was afraid that I would _______ her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me: “Rain, you can achieve more than I do, so __________ to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great ________ she was to me at that time.

However, it turned out that my ________ were well-founded. I felt that the ________ between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.

I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I __________ her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her ________ with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not __________. I had almost given up hope ________ she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked __________ but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ________ the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.

Now I firmly believe that distance and time can’t ________ you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.

10 . There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health, wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into n habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize it had effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position, or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start, step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
