simon and his friends couldnt 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. some 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 keefs says that is about 40% of the countrys 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

way of making us feel more comfortable. when our eyes is made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution , or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red-eyes” from over work and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them. tears are also a sign of strong emotion. we cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy. and tears seem to be uniquely human. we know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed (流) tears. biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland (腺) in the body. because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea. and it is clear that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. and thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge（合并）into one and make us even more human than we would otherwise be.9. according to the passage, human beings may have originated（起源于）in_.a. the sea b. the salt c. chemicals d. animals10. which of the following is not a function of tears?a. biological b. emotional c. political d. chemical11. according to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?a. the feeling of loneliness. b. the state of feeling good.c. the ability to shed tears d. the feeling of fear12. the underlined word “eliminate” probably means_.a. add b. produce c. replace d. remove d yum! brands inc., owner of the kfc fast food chain, said fourth-quarter same-store sales fell more than projected in china as demand was hit by a government investigation into one of its former chicken suppliers. industry experts had predicted the negative impact of the probe, which is expected to be felt in the long term. kfc sales in china in the last two weeks of december were affected by the release of the information associated with the probe into chinese poultry(家禽) suppliers, the us company said. china same-store sales fell by 6 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter, compared with a previous estimate ( 估计) for a decline of 4 percent, the filing said. shanghais food safety authority said that tests conducted by a third-party agency from 2010 to 2011 found that chicken supplied to the company by liuhe group co. ltd. contained too much antibiotics. yum said it stopped all supplies from liuhe in august 2012. the revelation caused heated debate among chinese consumers. the negative impact will stay for a long time for kfc, which relies heavily on domestic chicken suppliers, said gao jianfeng, general manager of the shanghai-based bogo consultants. with a huge number of restaurants demanding large quantities of chicken-the main substance on their menus-kfc wont be able to rebuild its supply chain in the short term, gao said. he added that food safety issues in the chinese supply chain, from chicken to todder(草料) , are widespread. no single company can preserve its reputation in such an industrial chain, he said. an increasing number of fast food consumers have started to go to other western chains such as mcdonalds or burger king, he said. zhao ping, a researcher at the academy of international trade and economic cooperation, said that due to their rising income levels, an increasing number of chinese people are paying more attention to healthy eating, bringing new attitudes toward foreign fast food brands and reducing their trust and appreciation of those chains.13. the underlined word probe in the second paragraph probably means a. analysis b. investigation c. charge d. decline14. we can inter from the text that a. there are fewer chicken suppliers in china now b. with more money chinese people are turning to foreign fast food c. domestic chicken suppliers refuse to supply chicken to kfc d. foreign fast food brands are facing crisis of confidence15. the best title of the passage would be a. foreign food, safe food? b. business affected worse than expected c. foreign fast food brands are more populard. kfc vs macdonaldse i had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. one january, i officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. 16 . at the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “if only i had sent my mother to florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. its my fault that she died.” at the second home, the son said, “if only i had not insisted her going to florida, she would be alive today. 17 . it is my fault.” when things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. 18 there seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. the first lies in our belief that the world makes sense-there is a reason for everything that happens. the second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. 19 . a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. he wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. 20 . when he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.a. that long airplane ride was more than she could takeb. after all, how could it have turned out any worse?c. life and dead is an unsolved mystery.d. the roots of this feeling may lie in our childhoode. he cries, and someone comes to attend to himf. both died a natural deathg. they believe that they are responsible for what has happened.第二部分 完形填空some years ago when i was in my first year
