A

      These days,seven cleaners who work in Yantai University's dining hall are well known to people around China. They are eating the leftovers that students leave behind on their plates.

      Wu Minghua,a 62-year-old retired teacher,now works as a cleaner at the school. Every day he carries plastic bags with him when clearing out the food in the dining hall. After the students had returned to class,he sat down with another six cleaners to their meal - the uneaten food collected from the students’ tables.

      Wu said that it’s not humiliating to eat the leftover food because he looks on the students as his children—and he always eats his children's leftovers. “People at my age ever lived a hard life,not like the young today”,he said. “I know the feeling of hunger,and I think it's a pity to waste food. So we came up with the ‘clean plate’ idea after noticing a lot of food left in plates. ”

     In fact,it’s  common that college students waste food. Is there anyone who never wastes food? Especially those who dine at public expense even do worse. Moreover,itJs the duty of parents or schools to help the children or students understand the importance of saving.

A 阅读提示:在烟台大学餐厅工作的吴明华等七位保洁员经常发现学生浪费粮食的现象很严重,于是他们就将学生吃剩的饭菜作为自己的午餐,他们用行动将“杜绝浪费、厉行节约”的风气吹向社会。

1. B 细节理解题。由第二段首句“Wu Minghua,a 62-year-old retired teacher,now works as a cleaner”可知,吴明华是退休教师,因此选  B.

2. C 细节理解题。由第二段“Every day he carries plastic bags with him when clearing out the food in the dining hall. ”可知,每天他清理餐厅的时候都会带着一个塑料袋子。由此可得到提示,他们是餐厅保洁员。故选   C.

3. D 词义猜测题。下文中提到“because he looks on the students as his children”,他把这些孩子看作是自家的孩子,由此可知,吃他们剩下的饭菜他并不感到可耻。因此猜测,humiliating意为“可耻的”。

4. A细节理解题。理解原文细节可知,七位保洁员们只是在学校餐厅吃学生剩饭,没有提到A项“... carries plastic bags of food back home. ”0

5. C主旨大意题。理解全文可知,七位保洁员吃学生剩饭,并不是因为贫穷,他们是在用行动教育学生节约粮食。因此选  C.

     Some people believe that some star signs get along better with each other than other star signs. Perhaps we should first start with those which are incompatible. Aries and Leo are not a good mix. Both of them are leaders.Aries is energetic and is not compatible with Leo because Leo is strong and confident. Also,Pisces and Taurus are not a good pair. Taurus is practical and will not be patient enough to wait for Pisces to stop daydreaming.

     Perhaps the best choice of friends for Taurus is Capricorn. Taurus can be stubborn and Capricorn is patient and would be prepared to wait for Taurus to change his or her mind. Aries should get to know Pisces.Aries is active but Pisces is gentle and easygoing. They are like yin and yang. Leo would be well matched with Libra. Leo likes to give gifts and Libra likes beautiful things.

     The perfect pair is Libra and Scorpio. Libra does not like to argue but love peace. Libra will never ask Scorpio to do energetic things. Sagittarius will enjoy listening to Gemini’s talk.

     Capricorn and Cancer could also be good friends. Cancer is kind and sensitive and gets on well with Capricorn who is shy.

     Virgo and Aquarius are a good match. Sometimes,however,there can be problems in their relation. Aquarius has many friends,and Virgo worries a lot,so meeting a lot of people can be stressful for them.

1. Who is the best choice of friends for Taurus?

2. Who would wait for Taurus?

3. What are Aries and Pisces like?

4. Who is the best pair?

5. What doea Virgo worry about?
