Many cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting(堆制肥料).

Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.

According to environmental groups, composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills(垃圾填埋池), and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.

Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. “Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking.” Renee Crowley, a project manager said.

Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.

Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for composting. Many schools and colleges have also started composting programs.

Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the composting process is costly. In addition, it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they don’t have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County, California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.

6．In Seattle, throwing food waste into garbage is.

A．illegal B．shameful

C．required D．acceptable

7．Patti Ferguson’s attitude towards food-recycling laws is probably.

A．thankful B．supportive

C．uncaring D．negative

C

It is not always easy to stay focused on the things we want or need to do. There are many things that can distract(使分心)us and affect completing the tasks that need to be done. Staying focused may take practice, but it is possible. Here is how.

Set some goals for yourself. When people have a clear goal they are working towards, it helps them to stay focused on achieving that goal. It may be helpful if you write down the goal you’re working towards and give yourself a time limit to achieve it. This can help you keep track of your progress along the way.

Get rid of all distractions. This includes turning off the radio, TV and cell phones. If you’re working on a computer, don’t open any extra windows. It’s easy to get distracted if you have distractions readily available to you. Tell people that you don’t wish to be disturbed between certain times so that you can devote your full attention to what you’re doing. You will have to learn how to manage yourself so that you can stay on track.

Set a fixed time to work on certain tasks. Make sure the times don’t affect with anything else you have to do. It’s also important to set the times for hours when you’re least likely to be disturbed. If you have children, try to focus on what you need to do when they are at school or sleeping. You may have to make some rearrangements in your daily schedule so that you are able to stay focused when you need to.

8．Why should you write down your goal and set a time limit to it?

A．To help you pay attention to it

B．To give you the direction for progress

C．To enjoy a greater sense of achievement

D．To help you know how you are getting along

9．How can you avoid distractions?

A．By practicing self-control

B．By silencing your cell phone

C．By turning the TV down a little bit

D．By keeping all the windows closed

10．What should be avoided when scheduling tasks?

A．Time limits B．Time conflict

C．Rearrangements D．Fixed time periods

11．What can be the best title for the text?

A．What to Focus on B．The Benefits of Focus

C．How to Stay Focused D．The Importance of Staying Focused

D

    People generally like to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce (农产品), but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking one.

A trial run of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and potatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more ugly vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms.

All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.

“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”

Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, and they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response (响应) to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.

“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store”, said Branson. “And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right beside a No. 1 apple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”

12．Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that _______.

A．more fruits are offered at lower prices

B．normal-looking produce is forbidden there

C．imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there

D．only apples and potatoes are sold every day

13．According to Paragraph 3, Loblaws’s program _______.

A．prevents people from wasting their food

B．happens to be a win-win mode

C．teaches food producers how to grow

D．enables consumers to eat more fresh produce

14．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?

A．Canadians are used to eating perfect produce.

B．Smart consumers know the importance of ugly produce.

C．Loblaws intends to improve customers’ quality of life.

D．Customers’ support promotes the development of the ugly food line.

15．What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?

A．We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.

B．The world is usually full of imperfect things.

C．Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.

D．The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.

第二节：阅读七选五（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）

   Over time, habits of negative thinking about ourselves can lower self-esteem (自尊). So if you want to feel better about yourself, try some of these things:

16．Are you so used to focusing on your problems that they’re all you see? Next time you find yourself trapped in problems or disappointment with yourself or your day, find something positive to deal with it. Each day, write down three good things about yourself, or three things that went smoothly that day because of your action or effort.

Aim for effort rather than perfection. Some people get held back by their own pressure to be perfect. They lose out because they don’t try. Usually, you may think, “I won’t audition (试镜) for the play because I probably won’t get the lead.”17．

Remind yourself that everyone is good at different things. 18． Thinking more like this: “She’s a great basketball player — but the truth is, I’m a better musician than athlete. Still, I’ll keep playing because I enjoy it.” It helps you accept yourself and make the best of the situation.

19． Don’t be afraid to voice them. If someone disagrees, it’s not a judgment on your worth or your intelligence. That person just sees things differently from you.

Set goals. 20． Then make a plan for how to do it. Stick with your plan, and keep track of your progress.

A．Focus on what goes well for you.

B．Take pride in your opinions and ideas.

C．Think about what you’d like to achieve.

D．It’s certain that the role will go to someone else.

E.  Recognize what you can change and what you can’t.

F.  Train your inner voice to remind you of what you are accomplishing.

G.  Cheer on others for their success and keep in mind what you do well.
