Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2013, especially in developing countries.

Many people stood by her and criticized(批评) the waste of food.What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips:1). Do not order too much in a restaurant.

But that is what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply.

It was 1993, but I can remember my mothers words as if it were yesterday. “Jessica, I dont want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”AIDS wasnt something we talked about in my country when I was growing up. From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone. For a while, he could take care of himself. But when I was 11, his condition worsened. My fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.We couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work. I had no money for school supplies and often couldnt even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teachers words muffled as I was thinking how I was going to manage.I didnt share my burden (负担) with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die.

This may seem like a difficult word at first, but it can be very useful to understand.Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every situation. For example, standing very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries. However, if you do this in Europe，some people might feel uncomfortable. Even in China，we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations. Perhaps we think that talking loudly in our own homes is fine, but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed. For example, most people would agree that talking loudly in a library, a museum or a movie theater is impolite. Even if you are with your friends, it is better to keep your voice down in public places.If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette, we may politely give them some suggestions. One of the most polite ways is to ask someone，“Would you mind doing this” or “Would you mind not doing that”. People dont usually like to be criticized, so we have to be careful how we do this.Although rules of etiquette can often be different，some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world! For example, dropping litter is almost never allowed. If you see someone you know doing this, you can ask him，“Would you mind picking it up？”根据短文内容，完成下列任务。（1）What does the word “etiquette” mean？(根据短文内容回答问题)_（2）Find out the key sentence of Paragraph 2.(找出第二段的中心句)_（3）If your friend talks loudly in the library, what would you say to him/her？(根据你对短文 的理解，写出一个委婉的建议)_（4）请将最后一段中的画线句子译成汉语。_（5）请给短文拟个标题。_四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共22分)15. （1分）The man is_(瞎的).
