Question

CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Programme, there were 900million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year.

So think about it. We should  say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes, “Every grain on the plate comes from hard work.” It tells us everybody must save food.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu, once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized (批评) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips:

Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can’t eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky(挑剔的) about food. some food may not be tasty, but put body need it.

Don’t keep too much food at home, especially for fruit and vegetables.

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了据联合国世界粮食计划署的报告，在2013年世界上仍然有9亿人在挨饿。因此我们不要再浪费粮食了，短文给出了一些节约粮食的建议。

1.根据there were 900million hungry people all over the world in 2013. 可知2013年有9亿人挨饿，故用about 900 million。

2.根据once lost her job because she took some leftover(剩余的) food home for her son 李红因为把剩饭带回家而丢了工作，故用Because she took some leftover food home for her son.

3.根据If you can’t eat all the food you order, take the rest of it home.如果吃不完的话，应该把剩下的饭菜带走，故用I/We can take the rest of it home。

4.根据Don’t keep too much food at home 不要在家存那么多的食物，故用No,(I/We can’t)。

5.根据短文的内容可知这里叙述了现在仍然有几亿人在挨饿，所以我们要节约粮食不能浪费，然后叙述了节约粮食的方法，故用The reasons we can’t waste food and the ways to stop wasting food
