During the meal, the world leaders enjoyed dishes like salads and burgers made with thrown-away vegetables and fruits. Chef Dan Barber, who helped create the meal, hoped that the experience would make the leaders pay more attention to the issue (問題) of food waste.
32. ________ One out of nine people on Earth does not get enough food. Yet every year over one third of the food produced worldwide goes to waste!
33. ________ Firstly, food is often thrown away before it reaches customers because too much of it is produced, or because it is not kept properly in farms. Secondly, shops and supermarkets usually throw away unsold food. Finally, customers often buy more food than they need, so a lot of uneaten food is wasted.
34. ________ When eating out, you may ask for less food and take home what is left. Visit fast food restaurant less often, since they are usually more wasteful. Encourage your favorite restaurants to give unsold food to food banks.
35. ________ Use smaller rice bowls so that you serve less rice. Encourage family members to use unfinished rice to make rice puddings. Tell family members to make a shopping list and buy only what is on the list when shopping for food.

Looking for a new way to raise money for charity (慈善)? Has your school run out of clever and fun ideas? Dont give up. There are several ways to support your favorite charity.
How about organizing (組織) a car wash? Everybody who has a car sooner or later washes it or has it washed. So why dont you and your classmates do the job? The money the car owners pay for having their cars washed will go towards your charity. When we did it, we had an amazing time! At first, some of us were worried about getting wet or dirty and its true. But we also had fun, and at the end of the day it was really worth it!
On the other hand, if you dont feel like getting wet or messy (凌亂的), but have some musical talent, how about organizing a street concert? Street musicians can make a lot of money, and so can you. If youve got the talent and courage it takes to play in front of an audience. You just need to find a suitable place, practise for a few hours with your friends first, and have a try!
I hope the above ideas can help you a bit, and if youve got any other great suggestions, we would love to hear them and practise them, too. Good luck!

Honesty of American Students
When I first arrived in America, I was surprised by the honesty of my classmates. Over my first month at school, I didnt see or hear anyone cheating. I found two reasons for this.
First, if any student cheats, he or she will get punished. My school has a rule called the Honor Code. It asks students not to steal, lie or cheat. If someone goes against the code, he or she will have to leave the school. During my first year in the school, seven students left the school because of cheating.
Second, American students dont care about scores as much as Chinese students do. They know that colleges will look at their all-round abilities instead of only scores. So they have fewer reasons to cheat.
46. The writer didnt see or hear anyone cheating when she first arrived in America, did she?
47. What is the Honor Code about?
48. What will happen if students go against the code?
49. Who does the writer think care more about scores, American students or Chinese students?
50. Do American colleges think all-round abilities are important for students?
