You might have noticed that the cost of food has gone up.In fact the price of wheat and rice has nearly doubled in the past few years.It’s thought that right now，850 million people—that’s more than 10 times the population of the UK—are short of food because it’s too expensive or there’s not enough of it.
The price of basic food such as wheat and corn has stayed the same for quite a long time，about 30 years.But as the world’s population is getting bigger，there’s more pressure to feed more people，plus there’s less land and water to go round.
Another reason is climate（气候）change.Droughts and floods make it hard to grow crops like rice and grain.The price of oil has gone up and that makes it more expensive for farmers to run their tractors and to transport the food they make.And lots of fields are being used to grow crops to make other things that can’t be eaten—which is bad news for hungry people.
The main losers are poor people who live in cities in poor countries，who are facing higher prices for food.Some people are doing well out of the food crisis（危机） though.Farmers in rich countries like the US，Canada and Australia are getting record prices for their harvests.
World leaders are meeting in the Italian capital Rome to talk about the problem of rising food prices.Some countries are helping out with the cost of foods and international aid agencies have called for more money for food production in poor countries.

A．Farmers in rich countries.
B．Farmers in developed countries.
C．Poor people in cities in poor countries.
D．Poor people in cities in developed countries.
3.What does the food crisis mean to farmers in Canada?
A．They can get a lot of money from the government.
B．They have to save a lot of money.
C．They can make more money from the high price.
D．They are losing a lot of money.
4.What is the best title for this passage?
A．Why is the Price of Food Going Up？
B．How Many People are Short of Food?
C．What Can We Learn from the Food Crisis?

（By CCTV correspondent Vanessa Duffy 04/28/2013 08:36）
It’s been eight days since a 7.0-magnitude strong earthquake hit China’s Lushan Ya’an Sichuan Province.How the earthquake has affected one of Sichuan Province’s special residents（居民）—pandas.How are the animals living? And do they have enough food to eat?
There are more than 80 pandas living here at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Base（繁育基地）.The quake was felt strongly in Chengdu.Fortunately，all of the pandas here were out on the grounds when the earthquake hit，so they were very safe.
Several days have passed and the earthquake seems to have made no negative（不利的） impact on the pandas.These two baby pandas Chengshuang and Chengdui are playfighting with each other and climbing trees.When they climbed too high，the breeders have to rescue them from the trees.
The quake zone is not only the home of these pandas，it’s also the source of their food.Fortunately，enough bamboo(竹子) has been stored away in five bamboo storehouses for the pandas，so there are no worries about food supplies.
Wu Kongju，Breeder，Chengdu Panda Breeding Base，said，“When the Wenchuan earthquake happened on May 12，2008，we were unprepared and had a shortage of bamboo.But we’ve been able to handle this earthquake event more smoothly.There are no problems with the food supply.”

Mr.Wang came to me and said，“Don’t be sad.I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant（疏远的）from the girls in our class.They don’t know much about you，so some of them didn’t choose you.It doesn’t matter.Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”
