1 . Germany’s top court has ruled that parts of the country’s 2019 climate (气候) action law must be changed because they don’t do a good job of protecting young people. The result is a big victory for the nine young people who started the law suing (诉讼).

The court suing stresses an important part of the climate change: The change will impact greatly on young people far more than the adults. That’s because the effects of earth warming will become more serious over time. As young people become adults, they’ll be left to deal with many problems that today’s adults have ignored. The government’s failure to plan carefully was putting their future lives in danger.

In 2019, Germany passed a new law, promising that the country would be carbon neutral (碳中和) by 2050. The law made a detailed plan of action until 2030. But the law didn’t have any specific rules or plans for climate actions that would be taken between 2031 and 2050.

Last Thursday, the judges of Germany’s highest court agreed with the young people. They said that not taking climate action made the basic rights of young people to a good future in danger.

The young people had challenged the government’s law in four specific areas. The judges didn’t agree with all of the challenges. But having the court support even a part of their case is seen as a big victory. Neubauer is one of the young people who sued. She works with the climate action group Fridays For Future. Ms. Neubauer said, “Climate protection is our basic right. This is a huge win for the climate movement. It changes a lot.”

The court has given the German government until the end of 2022 to fix the law. The climate law will now need to have a much more detailed plan for the actions that will be taken after 2030 to cut Germany’s pollution, allowing it to become carbon neutral by 2050. Germany’s government has said that it will quickly begin working to make the needed changes.

2 . 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Parents usually teach their children how to cross the street safely—by looking both ways for cars. But do they also teach them to put away their cellphones? According to statistics from years of studies, they almost never say so. In view of this, the city of Honolulu, Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson.

Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city. Beginning on October 24,you can be fined from$15 to$99 if you step into a Honolulu street while looking at your phone.Honolulu is the first major U.S. city to ban what is called “distracted walking”. It recently passed a law, which says no pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device.

The law includes all electronic devices with screens, from cellphones, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras to laptop computers. However, the law does permit an exception: pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers.

Pedestrian deaths have been increasing as the use of cellphones rises in the past few years. The Governors Highway Safety Association, or GHSA, says pedestrian deaths in the United States increased 25 percent between 2010 and 2015. That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6, 000, 11% higher than in 2015.

Other U.S. cities may follow Honolulu. The state of Washington was the first to outlaw distracted driving back in 2007. Now, 46 other states as well as Washington D. C. ,Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, have laws against texting while driving.

4 . Even in the fanciest pizza restaurant, you will never feel weird if you ask for a box to take your leftovers (剩饭)home. In Italy, that will soon apply everywhere, with a new law that encourages restaurants to give people doggy bags, although in Italy it's called a "family bag."

The new law is designed to reduce food waste and open doors to companies wishing to donate wasted food. Family bags were made to avoid embarrassment at asking for leftovers, turning it from begging into good behavior.


In the U.S., taking uneaten food home is normal. In the U.K. it is fairly common. To the south, though, this practice is rare. In Spain and Italy, people might take the bones from their meat and give them to their dogs, but culturally, it's not the done thing. Also, there aren't often many leftovers, as dishes are sized according to how much people will actually eat and are rarely too big to finish unless you over-order.

In France, the laws are tougher. Last year, the French began to forbid supermarkets to throw away food. They must either give it away to charity, or make it available to be used as animal feed and compost(堆肥),If they fail to follow the law, they will be fined.

Perhaps Italy's new law is right. Food waste is now attracting international attention, but the only way to really stop it lies in whether individuals are willing to change their ways. If it becomes socially unacceptable to waste food, or to serve a huge portion in restaurants, then we have a chance.

1. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Difficult.B.Strange
C.Relaxed.D.Disappointed.
2. Why do the Spanish seldom take leftovers home from restaurants?
A.They don’t bother to do it.
B.It is their custom to eat food up.
C.It is not acceptable in their culture.
D.They usually order small portions.
3. According to the author, how can we reduce food waste?
A.By introducing stricter laws.
B.By donating food to the needy.
C.By restaurants only serving small portions.
D.By everyone taking action and saying no to it.
4. What’s the text mainly about?
A.Way of reducing food waste.
B.Italy’s plans to use family bags.
C.How doggy bags come into being.
D.The increasingly serious food waste.
