According to a study, more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten (未吃的) food go to waste in Laura’s country each year. That is about 30% of the yearly food supply. It is a sad fact, especially when you consider how many families and homeless (无家的) people are hungry.
When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away uneaten food every day, she had an idea. She has started a project (项目) to help her school dining hall give uneaten food to homeless shelters in her community. In the past three years, the same project started in other schools and some fast food restaurants around the city. The project is called Feed&Find, and has already fed thousands of people in her city.
How does it work Through an app, Feed&Find matches (配对) local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide. When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left, they can use the app to share the information about the food. A truck driver working for the project then picks it up and takes it to a shelter.
Pretty cool, right It’s not surprising that many people in other cities have contacted (联系) Laura, expecting that she could help develop similar projects for their communities.
Some people, however, have concerns about the uneaten food. They think such food may not be clean enough. Still, this project is a clever way to help solve the problem of food waste and it helps those in need.
8. What can the numbers in Paragraph 1 tell us
A．Some people are poor. B．Food waste is serious. C．The population is large.
9. Why do many people in other cities contact Laura
A．Because they hope to find a truck driver to send food.
B．Because they expect her to visit their communities.
C．Because they expect her to help develop the projects.
10. What does the underlined word “concerns” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．Ways. B．Secrets. C．Worries.
11. Which can be the best title for this text
A．A Food Safety Project B．A Food Sharing Project C．A Driving Service App

The policy has clear rules. Schools cannot add extra (额外的) homework during the breaks. They are also not allowed to have extra classes. Safety comes first.
