It's time to reconsider food. Around the globe, food problems threaten wildlife, wild places and the planet itself. Today, 7. 3 billion people consume 1. 6 times     1     the earth's natural resources can supply. By 2050, the world's population     2       (reach) 9 billion and the demand for food will double.

So how do we produce more food for more people without     3     (expand) the land and water already in use? We can't double the amount of food.       4     (fortunate), we don't have to—we just have to double the amount of food available now instead.       5     short, we must freeze the footprint of food.

In the near- term, food production is enough to provide for all, but it doesn't reach everyone who needs it. About 1. 3 billion tons of food     6     (waste) each year—four times the amount     7     (need) to feed the more than 800 million people who are     8     (hunger) .

By improving efficiency and productivity while reducing waste and shifting consumption     9     (pattern), we can produce enough food for everyone by 2050 on roughly     10     same amount of land we use now.

Innovations that will change the classroom

American schools are going high - tech. Many symbols we still associate with classrooms and learning, like chalkboards, pens, notebooks - even classrooms     1     --- are quickly becoming outdated.

As this week marks The Huffington Post’s 10th anniversary, we’ll take a look at some products that     2     (introduce) to classroom in the past decade and have the potential to change the educational landscape in the years     3     (come).

1. Remote Learning

Some schools are cutting down on snow days, thanks to technology. Rather than giving kids the day off     4     weather conditions are too dangerous for commuting, these schools are asking students to follow classroom lessons online.

Although kids     5     (hope) for a snow day may not particularly appreciate these advancements in digital learning, online lessons allow these kids to complete their coursework and still interact with peers. Some students with medical conditions     6     “go” to school via video conferencing or even with the help of robots enabled with video chat that they can control remotely.

2. eBooks

Discovery Education has been replacing traditional textbooks with original “techbooks” for six years. These “techbooks” can also be switched to Spanish or French, Kinney said,     7     allows some parents who don’t speak English to help their kids with their homework.

3. Educational Games

In-class gaming options have evolved to include more educational options. GlassLab creates educational games that are now being used in more than 6,000 classrooms across the country. Teachers get real-time updates on students’ progress as well as suggestions on     8     subjects they need to spend more time perfecting.

The Internet and other digital tools have some drawbacks. They’re often distracting,     9     most developments have exciting implications for the future. Over the last 10 years, technological innovations have made education more interactive, immediate and     10     (personalize), -- and have shown us the potential for more accessible and effective classrooms.

Many teens in high school want to try out for sports because they think playing sports will make them more popular. But there are lots of other     1    （benefit）of sports that teens may overlook（忽视）.

With TV, movies, computers, and video games     2    （become）more and more popular, it has become much     3    （easy）for teens to be home by themselves rather than going out with friends. Teens used to hang out at the mall or drive around the town; now they just sit at home. Getting teens into a sport     4    （give）them an opportunity to go out and socialize.     5     they may not find a new best friend, they will learn how to interact and work as     6    team, something that they'll find     7    （use）later in life.

More and more teens are becoming overweight. If teens see that their physical condition is causing them to perform     8    （bad）, they may be motivated to do other activities     9    （get）healthy. When your children reach their youth, part of good parenting will provide them     10     the direction and encouragement and continue to help them develop a healthy style of living.
