Up t 40% f all fd in the United States is wasted. Prducing fd that peple dn't cnsume swallws up rughly 20% f America's crpland and agricultural water, and prduces greenhuse gas emissins（排放物） equal t 37 millin passenger vehicles each year. Yet, 37 millin Americans lack cnsistent access t adequate and nutritius fd.
NRDC's Fd Matters Initiative partners cities t cnfrnt fd waste. Fd Matters is pilting all-rund, cutting-edge strategies that are easy t fllw and share. The first tw strategies—and arguably the mst critical nes—are t estimate a lcal baseline level f fd waste and then assess the ptential fr rescuing surplus fd. A baseline is necessary in rder t understand the scale and natural f the prblem. It is als a prerequisite（先决条件） t assessing any prgress made, which will help infrm future prgram develpment.
Using a calculatr tl NRDC develped based n the Fd Matters research mdels, the Atlanta's Mayr's Office f Resilience had a better understanding f the qualities f wasted fd and where it was likely ccurring. This allwed the city t fcus the attentin n the slutins that were mre clsely related t the situatin in Atlanta.
As in many cities acrss the U. S. , much f the fd wasted in Atlanta ccurs in husehlds and cnsumer-facing businesses such as restaurants. Armed with this infrmatin, the Mayr's Office f Resilience, creates a restaurant challenge encuraging restaurants t wrk n the entire system f reductin, rescue, and recycling. After 90 days and participatin frm 6 restaurants at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jacksn airprt, the prgram rescue 21, 000 meals and saved wners ver $62000.
Atlanta's restaurant challenge is ne f a handful f examples where cities have engaged（吸引）cnsumer-facing fd businesses t reduce their fd waste. New Yrk led the charge with a Mayr's challenge t restaurants. Denver recently cmpleted a series f neighbrhd restaurant challenges. Nashville has an nging Mayr's Fd Saver Challenge including nt just restaurants but ther fd businesses as well. Several ther cities and cuntries thrughut the cuntry have similar business engagement success stries.

Frty years ag, when Marilyn Lden, then 31 and a manager at a telephne cmpany, made a speech at the 1978 Wmen's Expsitin, she didn't knw that a phrase she came up with n that day wuld still be alive after all these years. “It seemed t me there was an invisible barrier t advancement that peple didn't recgnize,” Lden said at the exp when talking abut hw hard it was fr wmen t climb the career ladder. And that barrier, accrding t her, culd all be biled dwn t ne phrase- “glass ceiling”.
Since then, there have been majr advances in gender equality. We've seen wmen achieving bigger and bigger things in cinema, educatin, plitics and even business. But sadly, there's ne field that's still run mainly by men: science.
That's why it was inspiring when Zhang Miman, 82, a prfessr at the Chinese Academy f Sciences, was given a L'Oreal-UNESCO Fr Wmen in Science award n March 22.
Accrding t China Daily, the number f wmen wrking in science arund the wrld has increased by 12 percent in the past 20 years. But even s, the glass ceiling is still there. Indeed, less than 30 percent f researchers are wmen, and nly 3 percent f Nbel Prizes fr Science have been awarded t wmen. Of curse, it has little t d with the steretype（思维定势） that “wmen are bad at science”. In fact, a study fund that nearly half f the “highly qualified” scientists and engineers in the US are wmen.
“Since s few are in the upper ranks, there aren't female instructr t guide wmen thrugh challenges and supprt them fr prmtins,” wrte Tara Weiss n Frbes.
May 24 marks the 40th anniversary f the phrase “glass ceiling”. Even thugh the ceiling is still there things are changing. And with Zhang winning her award, ne mre crack has been added t the ceiling.
12. Why des the authr intrduce Marilyn Lden at the beginning f the text?
A. T attract readers' attentin. B. T intrduce the tpic f the text.
C. T make Lden well-knwn. D. T amuse readers with Lden's stry.
13. What des the underlined phrase “glass ceiling” in the first paragraph refer t?
A. the gd news fr wmen t be prmted.
B. the shrtest way fr wmen t succeed.
C. the unseen barriers fr wmen t advance.
D. the unknwn advantages fr wmen t develp.
14. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4. 5 and 6?
A. Wmen scientists have very high status in the wrld.
B. Wmen are naturally nt gd at science at all.
C. Wmen's liberatin in science still has a lng way t g.
D. Wmen dn't like challenges in career.
15. What is the authr's purpse in writing the text?
