By the summer of 2005，the Reverend (牧师) Richard Joyner of Conetoe Chapel Missionary Baptist Church realized he was hosting funerals (葬礼) twice a month—a surprising number for his town's tiny population. In this African American town，a quarter of families live an extremely poor life and heart disease kills more 20 to 39yearolds than car accidents do.
Joyner decided to do something about it. Driving home one day，he pulled over and thought that maybe he'd get further with his eyes open. He looked around，and all he saw was farmland. It gave him an idea：Get the kids to take part in it.
Joyner ran a youth camp，so that summer，he showed the campers how to grow their own food on the small land. The kids,4 to 16 years old，ate up the vegetables they had grown，and the following year，they gave free boxes of vegetables to the old people in the town.
Not everyone welcomed the idea. Some church elders questioned whether it was wise to let kids take part in agrarian pursuit (农业工作). But Joyner saw it differently. “The kids are bringing food to people who need it. They enjoy what they're doing，” he said. At the same time，it improved the health of the community by providing healthy foods.
Today，because of Joyner，that small land has changed into the 21acre Conetoe Family Life Center. The local hospital，schools and restaurants help the center by buying its salad greens，peppers，strawberries，and other food for people. Research from East Carolina University found that people in Conetoe have lost weight，lowered their blood pressure，and visited the hospital less frequently because of the fresh food and health advice available at the center.
1.What do we know about the town where Joyner lives?
A.It develops very slowly. B.There are not enough churches.
C.Many young people die from accidents. D.People are too poor to live a healthy life.
2.Why did Joyner decide to grow food on the small land?
A.To provide food for kids. B.To teach kids how to plant.
C.To lower the number of deaths. D.To make full use of the small land.
3.What did some church elders think of Joyner's idea?
A.They were doubtful about it. B.They weren't interested in it.
C.They strongly disagreed with it. D.They thought it did harm to kids.
4.What's the result of what Joyner has done?
A.It's unusual. B.It's successful.
C.It's unexpected. D.It's unbelievable.
Do you ever throw away food at home? Have you ever thought about what happens to the food that shops and supermarkets don't sell? Well，you might be shocked to find out that about one third of food produced for humans gets wasted. What's more，around 800 million people in the world don't live a healthy life for lack of food.
Many people in the UK and across the world are trying to do something with this situation. They are trying their best to make use of eatable food that is thrown away.
For example，there is a coffee bar in Leeds (UK) whose meals are all cooked with unsold food from supermarkets. The spare food is turned into delicious food to feed the hungry people of Leeds. Customers just pay what they can afford or help the bar wash something. In just ten months,10,000 people were fed at this bar.
Besides，the UK's first food waste supermarket opened last year. The supermarket works on a “pay as you feel” basis. Customers pay whatever they want. Some lowincome families have said that it has changed their lives.
“Fuel for School” is another food waste project. Spare food from supermarkets such as dairy，vegetables，fruit and bread is used to feed hungry schoolchildren whose families may not be able to afford to buy them lunch.
More coffee bars like Leeds are being opened in other parts of the UK such as Bristol and Manchester，and it is now becoming a worldwide event.
I think this is an amazing step as food waste is one of the world's biggest problems. I also believe that the law should be changed，so that supermarkets don't throw away so much good food.
1.What does the author think of the coffee bar's action?
A.He thinks it very good. B.He is worried about it.
C.He is doubtful about it. D.He thinks it interesting.
2.What's the goal of “Fuel for School”？
A.Help poor kids choose healthy food to eat.
B.Deal with bad food from supermarkets.
C.Make kids perform well in their study.
D.Feed students from poor families.
3.Which of the following does the author advise?
A.We buy food based on our ability.
B.More coffee bars are opened in Leeds.
C.Restaurants offer children food for free.
D.Governments take action to reduce food waste.
4.What is the best title of the text?
A.The Problem of Food Waste Should Be Solved
B.Fuel for School Offers Food to The Poor
C.Different Actions to Solve the Problem of Food Waste in UK
D.Spare Food From Supermarkets Is Thrown Away
