Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Koc...

Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.

People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, "tree of goodness".

The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it's been there. But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.

The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.

"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin," she said.

1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A tree planted on March 23.

B. The fridge outside for the hungry to take from.

C. The popular restaurant in Kochi, India.

D. A neighboring tree near Pappadavada.

2.What does the manager of the restaurant advise in the last paragraph?

A. People shouldn't throw foods into dustbin.

B. Everyone should always avoid waste.

C. People shouldn't buy food for that.

D. Everyone should help those in need.

3.What is special about Minu Pauline?

A. She runs her restaurant in a different way.

B. She saves food and helps others in a wise way.

C. She sets a higher standard to deal with waste.

D. She makes the community more friendly to each other.

 

1.B 2.C 3.B 【解析】本文介绍印度有一家餐厅非常受欢迎,这家餐厅在路边放了一台冰箱,鼓励人们把剩饭剩菜放在里面,供饿肚子的人们取用,这个冰箱被称为“善心之树”。这个餐馆的经理以明智的方式节约食物和帮助别人。 1.B词义猜测题。根据第一段Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take(印度有家餐馆Pappadavada在Kochi很受欢迎,现在在路边放了台冰箱,鼓励客人还有社区居民把剩菜放入冰箱里供饿肚子的人们取用。)可知,第二段which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, "tree of goodness".中划线部分“善心之树”指的是放在路边的冰箱,饥饿的人可以从里面拿东西吃。故选B。 2.C推理判断题。根据最后一段"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin,(我唯一不推荐的就是人们真去把食物买来放进冰箱里。我宁愿人们是食物买多了又不高兴吃,这样把食物放冰箱而不是直接扔垃圾桶。)"可知,饭店经理建议人们不要特地为此买食物,故选C。 3.B推理判断题。根据全文内容可推知,Minu Pauline以明智的方式节约食物和帮助别人。故选B。

Two day later, the conductor told me that the passenger was very much happy that I returned the mobile phone.
