    It’s always been a rule in my family, spoken or unspoken, that you don’t waste food. With six children herself and having grown up in an even larger family through the Great Depression, my mother would never tolerate throwing out the amounts of food we see routinely these days in the dumpster. We were told simply to clean our plates, no matter whether we liked the taste or if we were not hungry or not. So this subject is deep in my genes and upbringing.

    Estimates are that nearly one third of all food produced is wasted. USDA estimates 31% of food available at retail (零售)level is wasted. 12% of landfill material is food. 28% of agricultural land produces food which is wasted, says the FAO. 18% of vegetables, and 12% of the apple crop are lost at the farm level in the United States., say experts.

    Luckily, there’s an “ugly food” movement picking up steam. “Ugly” foods are those that sellers and buyers often reject because of their appearance, like misshapen vegetables and bruised（擦伤的） fruits. Farmers dump them. Supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Now supermarkets and restaurants reject them. Consumers historically have avoided them. Now supermarkets feature the ugly. It’s fashionable. More artful terms are favored. A French supermarket chain is selling “inglorious” foods. The British chain ASDA uses “wonky（歪斜的）” (which to American ears might sound as bad as “ugly.”) Canada’s Loblaws uses “naturally imperfect.” Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has cast himself as a promoter of the “good food movement,” has signed on with some British chains to support their efforts.

    With the effort of Kretschmann Farm CSA’s we’ve taken the line that rather than throw away things which would be classified by others as ugly, inglorious, or imperfect, we would just give them to you and you could decide. Either we throw them away, or you can. Oftentimes this adds to the volume of the box, or makes it a little more urgent to consume (because sometimes those rejected foods are just very ripe!).

    1.When the author was a kid, he .

    A. often suffered from hunger

    B. was not allowed to waste food

    C. had to wash plates after a meal

    D. didn’t like the taste of his food

    2.What does the underlined part “picking up steam” in Paragraph 3 mean?

    A. Coming to an end.

    B. Facing a challenge.

    C. Making a selection.

    D. Becoming more popular.

    3.The Kretschmann Farm CSA .

    A. provides perfect food for customers

    B. sells food mot of which is very ripe

    C. tries to bring ugly food to customers

    Hypothermia can be mild, moderate or severe. Mild hypothermia is something that most people in cold climates have experienced at one time or another. You feel so cold that your body starts to shake---not very much, but uncontrollably.

    The treatment for mild hypothermia starts with getting out of the cold and, if necessary, changing into dry clothes. Drinking warm, non-alcoholic liquids and eating something sugary can stop the shivering. Taking a warm bath or sitting by a fire or doing some exercise can also help the body warm up. These are all common-sense treatments.

    But treatment needs to change when people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia. In that situation, their body temperature drops below thirty-five degrees Celsius. They lose the ability to think clearly. Their muscles become stiff. They might bump into things or fall over objects.

    Members of search-and-rescue teams will first try to prevent additional heat loss. They will place extra covering around the chest, head and neck of hypothermia victims to keep them warm.

    Hypothermia victims need medical help as soon as possible. Working quickly to get people out of the cold is important. However, hypothermia victims must be moved slowly and gently. Any rough or sudden movement can force cold blood from the arms, legs and hands deep into the warmer middle of the body. This sudden flow of cold blood can create shock, a serious condition. It can also cause an abnormal heartbeat.

    Members of search-and-rescue teams have a saying that hypothermia victims are not dead until they are warm and dead. The process of "rewarming" a person needs to be done slowly, in a hospital setting.

    An extremely low body temperature can cause the heart to beat so slowly that a pulse may be difficult to find. In other words, a person who is suffering from the effects of severe cold may seem dead, but still be alive.

    1.According to the text, when a person experience mild hypothermia, _____.

    A. he feels cold so he shakes deliberately.

    B. he can drink some wine to stop the shaking.

    C. he should be sent to the hospital immediately.

    D. some common treatments can help him recover.

    2.Which of the following expression can take the place of the underlined words?

    A. break into B. break down

    C. knock into D. sweep up

    3.When people enter the moderate or severe stages of hypothermia, which of the following statement is WRONG? _________

    A. If hypothermia isn’t treated correctly, the victim’s heart may not beat normally.

    B. Their body temperature drops below 35℃.

    C. Hypothermia victims seem alive but dead.

    D. The rescue workers should first help them warm slowly and gently in a proper situation.

    4.What’s the best title for the text? _____.

    A. Different kinds of hypothermia

    B. Medical help is important in treating hypothermia

    C. How to avoid cold-weather injuries.

    D. Emergency treatment for different types of hypothermia.
