[1] Every few weeks, Lu Jinhua's family met for dinner at a restaurant close to her home in Beijing. But the happy mealtime almost always ended with an unhappy scene: her children would insist that Lu leave the table before she embarrassed them by asking to take the leftover food home in takeaway bags.
[2]But on Sunday, the 63-year-old lady was, delighted to discover that the restaurant had made a number of changes. A poster on the table clearly stated, "Save food, don't waste it". Instead of persuading customers to order expensive dishes, the waitress suggested a small order that could be added later if people were still hungry. At the end of the dinner, Lu's daughter even volunteered to____.
[3] "This is the happiest dinner I had in that restaurant so far, and I am so glad to see these changes." Lu said.
[4]A campaign against food wastage is sweeping China, a country where 128 million people live below the poverty line. Every year, food valued at 200 billion yuan （ $32 billion） is thrown away in China. The volume is equivalent to the amount consumed by more than 200 million people during a 12-month period.
[5]A proposal opposing waste in January is part of a drive by China's new leaders. Many provinces have launched their own more-detailed versions. Henan province has ordered that business meals should have no more than four dishes, and alcohol is prohibited. Guizhou has set a time limit of 45 minutes on meals paid for by the public purse.
[6] The public has also adopted the idea. Many restaurants discourage customers from ordering more than they can eat. Taking leftovers home is encouraged. Some of them have started to use smaller plates and the prices are cheaper. A proposal on the Internet calling on people to eat everything on their plate attracted the participation of 2.74 million people within the first two weeks.

Electrical devices(仪器)could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking , British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks ,the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this ,the device helps with the slowing sown movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers(起博器), it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version, An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania, He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
1.The second paragraph mainly talks about
A.who developed the device

A.It is too heavy for the walker to bear
B.It is too complex for people to use

3.Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device
A.produces power without adding more loads to the walker
B.can produce more power in a much shorter time
C.needs to be equipped with a battery
D.can help the walker walk faster
4.From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can
A.help housewives operate the washing machine
B.make it much easier for us to go online
C.produce more electricity than that invented by Larry Rome
D.be applied in medical fields to operate heart pacemakers
5.What would be the best title for the passage
A.First device powered by walking will soon be on the market
B.Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers
