Food Gone to Waste
More than a billion tons of food are wasted each year, according to a new report from the United Nations. That’s 17% of the food produced in the world in a year.
Most waste happens at home, the reports say. People buy too much food. They also throw it away too soon because of the date on the package. Waste happens in restaurants and stores, too.
Experts say governments need to do more to avoid food waste and develop better habits. Richard Swannell is one of the reports authors. He hopes the government will lead people to value food more. “Food is too important to waste.” he says. 1．How much food is wasted each year? A．More than a million tons. produced.
2．Where does most food waste happen? A．In restaurants.

Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting pocket money, learning to save, and deciding to buy expensive things. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to deal with money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families achieve these goals?
The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids make some money. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been watering in the garden since he was 8. He owned his own tools with the help of his parents. Now he has saved $7,800. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year.
Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady manages a company toward children and young adults. “They shouldn’t be always thinking of spending money.” Brady warns. Instead, they should understand basic rules for making money, saving money, and managing money.
That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past ten years, most Americans aged 18 to 24 borrowed nearly $3,000 on credit card(信用卡). Among high school seniors, four out of five have never taken a class about money.
Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She owed(欠) $2,000 on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the money off slowly by herself. “Now every time I use money, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 6．What is the goal of most parents about money? A．To set kids’pocket money. B．To get money to spend.

7．What is the best way to teach about money in The Tidier family? A．To buy expensive things. B．To give kids some money. C．To let kids make some money.

C．Watering tools
9．How much money did Giselle owe on her first credit card? A．$2,000.
B．$3,000
C．$7,800.
10．How did Giselle pay the money of she owed? A．By credit card.
On August 30, 2021, the Chinese government announced that kids would not be allowed to play online games Mondays to Thursdays. On weekends and holidays, kids would be limited(限制) to an hour a day of online gaming. “Recently, many parents have reported that playing games crazily among some youths and children is seriously harming their normal study, life and health.” the Chinese government said online. This news got us thinking. Should the government be responsible for limiting how much time kids spend online? Here are some students’opinions.
Esme McNeely, 11
The government should not set screen-time limits. That decision should be up to parents. Some children need to use screens for homework. And during the COVID-19, one of the only ways to talk to friends was online. Government limits would not be fair to people who are careful with their screen time.
Lucas Barone, 11
The government should not limit screen time. A 2021 study from the University of Colorado Boulder says screen time might be less harmful to kids than people think. Some parents worry that children online too much won’t make friends. But the study reports that screen time can actually improve kids’friendships. In fact, screen time can be educational. I use websites to read and to learn math.
Xiuhan Zhu, 9
I think the government should take action and limit screen time for kids. Too much
试卷第3页，共12页 B．By her parents.
C．By herself.
screen time can lead to tiredness and less social time. People who use smartphones are more likely to get into car accidents. Electrical products like computers can also be harmful for kids. If kids aren’t careful with the websites they use, criminals can get important information.
Ning Li, 10
Most people spend too much time on their phones and TVs. They hurt their eyes and waste their time. And watching a lot of TV or playing games can influence kids’ learning and social skills. If the government limited screen time, people would be encouraged to spend more time with their family. They might join a sports team in their neighborhood. 11．When are kids allowed to play online games for an hour a day? A．On Mondays.
B．On Wednesday.
C．On weekends.
12．Who is against screen-time limits? A．Esme McNeely.
B．Xiuhan Zhu.
C．Ning Li.
13．What does the study from he University of Colorado Boulder show? A．Screen time might do no harm to kids. B．Screen time can improve kids’ friendships. C．Screen time won’t help kids make friends.
14．What are Ning Li’s opinions about screen-time limits? A．Too much screen time can lead to tiredness. B．Criminals can get important information easily.
C．People are encouraged to spend more time with their family. 15．What is the article mainly about? A．Screen time can be educational. B．Screen time can lead to less social time.

Smart, Social Animals
Recently, researchers have found that dolphins know their own names much like people. Dolphins talk to one another with whistles(口哨) and calls. Scientists have known that the animals also use unusual whistles to name each other. They had thought that dolphins only heard each other’s voices. However, the scientists didn’t know that dolphins listen for their names too.
To test this idea, the researchers caught 14 dolphins and recorded their name calls. The
试卷第4页，共12页
scientists then copied each dolphin’s voice. When the changed recordings were played, the dolphins replied strongly to the names of their relatives and group members. They paid no attention to the names of dolphins they did not know.
Dolphins live in large groups that grow and change. Each dolphin’s unusual whistle helps it quickly find a friend or a family member, or call for help. Understanding their calls requires learning. It’s a skill that’s seen in very few animals, which include humans, elephants and bats.
Elephants, for example, communicate with sound. Their sounds can be heard by other elephants miles away. Dolphins, too, communicate with each other by making sounds like this.
Elephants also communicate by moving their head, feet and trunk. In much the same way, dolphins communicate by their movements. They often touch each other to express friendship.
Unlike dolphins, elephants also communicate by their great sense of smell. They can recognize other elephants by the smells they have.
Why do dolphins and elephants share the gift of communication? Scientists think it may be because they are social and smart animals. Both have strong family relationship. Now, whether they also have nicknames is another question! 16．What have researchers found about dolphins recently? A．Dolphins know their own names. B．Dolphins only hear each other’s voices.
C．Dolphins talk to one another not much like people.
17．Just before the researchers recorded dolphins’name calls, they ________. A．copied dolphins’ voice B．caught 14 dolphins
C．trained the dolphins to whistle
18．When a dolphin gets into trouble, what will it do? A．It will call for help. B．It will turn its head. C．It will touch another dolphin.
19．What are the differences between dolphins and elephants in communication? A．Elephants can communicate by smell.
试卷第5页，共12页
B．Elephants can communicate by sound. C．Dolphins can communicate by movement.
20．What does the underlined word “recognize\" mean in Chinese? A．驱逐
B．认出
C．触碰
