    A 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2. 1billion tons by 2030. Beyond the cost of the waste itselfthrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change.

Home delivery meal kits()can reduce food waste by more than two-thirdsbut suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.

Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipesmeaning leftovers are minimized. But while the  delivery services score well on reducing food wastebuying the same food ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored for consumptionthey won’t overbuy and have less food waste. They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat.

Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less  frequently. If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paperthey may only have to visit once every couple of months. A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood. So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip.

Howeverstudy found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zerothey would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. The packaging is a killer if it’s single-use and thrown awaywhich can make all the environmental benefits lost. But if the packaging can be reusedif it’s glass bottleslike in the old dayswe can get some benefits.

1.What can we learn about home delivery meal kits?

A.They can cut down on daily expenses.

B.They will totally solve the problem of food waste.

C.They can keep energy consumption to a minimum.

D.They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging.

2.What does the underlined word“fine-tune”in paragraph 3 mean?

A.Attach. B.Adjust.

C.Raise. D.Compare.

3.The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________.

A.reduce transport emissions B.save more food

C.shop only in the supermarket D.shorten car trip distances

4.What’s the author’s attitude to meal kits?

A.Supportive. B.Unfavorable.

C.Objective. D.Indifferent.

That’s the idea behind CollegePointan initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSATSAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentileand their families make less than$80000 a yearthey get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listenguide and answer students’questions.

Connor Rechtzigelan adviser in Minnesotasees the importance of his rolefor research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjaminthe first in his family to apply to collegethink about what his ideal learning experience was. FinallyJustice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choiceSkidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.

Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of whatCollegePoint advisers do. Nakhlean adviser in North Carolinais working with Hensleyan Ohio high school senior who can’t get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letterswhich made her decision much clearer. Finallythe Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing.
