    University of Maryland student Ben Simon and his friends couldn’t stand to see good food thrown out on their campus.“We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day.And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we would donate it.And they were on board，” he said.
    So 18 months ago，the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network.Each night，volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks.So far，they have donated more than 23 000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.
    Nationwide，$165 billion worth of food is wasted each year，according to the National Resources Defense Council.Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country’s entire food production.“If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%，we can feed 25 million hungry Americans.That is a huge benefit.That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing，” he said.
    Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries (受益者) of the students’ efforts.Ben Slye，the senior pastor (牧师)，said，“It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time，their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this.Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”
    The University of Maryland’s Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country.“I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years.And once we get to the Food Recovery Nation being at every college campus in America，we want to expand to restaurants and farms.” said Simon.
    The volunteers are committed to making that happen.
    小题1:The dining services in University of Maryland________.
    A．threw out good food on the campus

    How Good Are US Drivers?
    The CBS-TV“National Drivers’ Test”，showed that many US drivers have a lot to learn.Here’s why.
    CBS picked 1799 sample drivers to take the test in TV studios in New York，Philadelphia，Chicago，and Los Angeles.More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test.And the average score was the lowest passing mark—51 points out of a possible 80.
    Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points.Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points.New York and Philadelphia drivers got 50 points—a failing score.Drivers with 50 points or less were rated“poorly informed”by the judges.
    Here are some of the test results:
    1.Are men drivers better informed than women ones?
    Yes.Men averaged 52 points.Women got an average of 49.
    2.Are older drivers better informed than younger drivers?
    No.Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points.Drivers from 27 to 45 averaged 51.Drives over 45 failed with a 48-point average.
    3.Does education make a difference?
    Yes.College graduates averaged 52 points.High school graduates averaged 50.Those without high school diplomas(毕业证) got 48.And people who had taken driver education courses scored an average of 53 points—three more than those who hadn’t.
    4.Does driving experience make a difference?
    Yes.Drivers with three or more years of experience averaged 51 points.Drivers with less experience averaged 49.
    Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test:
    1.More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking red light means a full stop.
    2.Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonal(eight-sided)sign means stop.
    3.More than two out of three drivers did not know what to do when being“tailgated(追尾)”.
    The answer:slow down，drive to the right，and let the driver behind pass.
    The results of the test were turned over to the National Safety Council(委员会).They will help future safety planning.

       Welcome to my Message Board!
    Subject: Slimming down classics?
     
    Mr.Handsome
    2007-5-12
    6: 34 AM
    		Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.  
     
    Mr.Edwards
    2007-5-12
    9: 40 AM
    		Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome.
    I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
    As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.
    Ms. Weir
    2007-5-12
    11:35 AM
    		I’m director of the online book club www.lovereading.co.uk
    Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!    
    Mr.Crockatt
    2007-5-12
    4:38 PM
    		I’m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.
    In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
    11. According to the message board, Orion Books        .
    A. opposes the reading of original classics          
    B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
    C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future      
    D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics
    12. In Mr. Edwards’ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to        .
    A. make them easier to read            B. meet a large demand in the market
    C. increase the sales of literary books   D. compete with their original versions
    13. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms. Weir        .
    A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics     
    B. shows her love for original classics
    C. feels guilty of not reading the classics     
    D. disapprove of shortening the classics
    14. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that        .
    A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt
    B. shortening the classics does harm to the original
    C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job
    D. editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs
    15. How many classics are involved in the massage board?
    A. Two.          B. Three.               C. Four.         D. Five.

    The kindly “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” wearing Han Chinese clothing and holding a fortune bag debuted(亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas. The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competition that cost millions of yuan. Its debut seems to be a sign of competition against “Santa Claus”, according to a report by Guangming Daily.

    Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights, Christmas songs, Christmas trees, and the images of “Santa Claus” in recent days. As a matter of fact, foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people, particularly the youth. “Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings,” said noted writer Feng Jicai. More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine’s Day and Christmas. However, many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人), and have never heard suona music. Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared. Under such circumstances, even the “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” is unlikely to defeat “Santa Claus”.
    However, it is not a bad thing to some extent. It constantly reminds people to restore the “true face” of traditional festivals. China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays, which brings more paid leaves to the public, and helps to awaken the public awareness of traditional festivals.
    In modern society, festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largely depends on their understandings and usages by people. Compared with foreign festivals, traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior(次于) in cultural meanings, but lack of fashion sought by modern people. If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals, and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important, the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance(继承) of fine traditional culture will be cut off.
    小题1:The second paragraph implies that______________.
    A．traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivals
    B．all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future
    C．western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivals
    D．Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that _________.
    A．an image design by Chinese people will be displayed
    B．many foreigners know nothing about Chinese Festivals
    C．the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional culture
    D．the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival
    小题3:Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think _________.
    A．traditional festivals are out of fashion now
    B．the historical culture is more difficult to understand
    C．western festivals contain more cultural meanings
    D．the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals
    小题4:What would be the best title of the passage?
    A．Gone are Chinese Traditional Festivals
    B．True Face of Chinese Traditional Culture
    C．Foreign Festivals Popular with Chinese
    D．Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS. Santa Claus

    Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled－to $1.01 per pack－smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.
    This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.
    The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
    In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings，cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston，S.C.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was $4.78.
    The influence is obvious.

    In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys－13.8%，far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky.Other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.
    Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on low?income Americans “who choose to smoke.”
    That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low?income workers from getting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.
    小题1:The text is mainly about ________.
    A．the price of cigarettes
    B．the rate of teen smoking
    C．the effect of tobacco tax increase
    D．the differences in tobacco tax rate
    小题2:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
    A．The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.
    B．Low?income Americans are more likely to fall ill.
    C．Future generations will be hooked on smoking.
    D．Adults will depend more on their families.
    小题3:Rogers' attitude towards the low?income smokers might be that of ________.
    A．toleranceB．unconcern
    C．doubtD．sympathy
    小题4:What does the author think is a surprise?
    A．Teen smokers are price sensitive.
    B．Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.
    C．Tobacco taxes improve public health.
    D．Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.
