It keeps what’s inside a mystery until yu pen it. There are usually tys in mystery bxes; but nw, fd
has been added t the list.
Recently, the trend f “leftver mystery bxes” has becme ppular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu. Stres pack bxes full f unsld fd r fd nearing its expiratin date at lw prices.
“We make the leftver mystery bxes available t buy at the end f the day,” Wu Tian, a staff member at a cnvenience chain stre in Beijing, tld China Daily. The fd, such as milk, bread and sandwiches, is sld at abut half the riginal price and is usually sld ut quickly. Many bakeries have als jined the “mystery bx club”.
Due t their lw price, leftver mystery bxes “are very prmising as a new business mde” and can attract mre cnsumers, Hng Yng, an expert at the Ministry f Cmmerce, tld China Daily. “In additin, they fllw the cncept f zer-waste and envirnmental prtectin.”
In 2021, the ttal amunt f fd waste in China reached 160 millin tns, with an average f 93 grams per meal per persn, China Fd Newspaper reprted. Since the passage f China’s Anti-Fd Waste Law in April 2021, peple’s awareness f fd waste reductin has increased. Leftver mystery bxes can be an effective way fr peple t deal with fd waste.
Hwever, sme peple have raised fd security cncerns. If cnsumers buy a fd mystery bx fr their breakfast the next mrning, even if the fd lks fine at the mment, it may have gne bad vernight. Mrever, fd made in the stre, such as bread, isn’t labeled with the prductin date in many cases, accrding t China Cnsumer News. If a cnsumer unpacks a mystery bx and discvers that the fd tastes bad r has already passed the last date, then it will be difficult fr them t prtect their rights, such as getting mney back.
Only by cnsidering bth fd safety and cnsumer rights can mystery blind bxes achieve a win-win situatin fr bth buyers and sellers, cmmented China Yuth Daily.
28. What leads t the rise f the trend f “leftver mystery bxes”?
A. It ffers custmers lwer prices fr thse unsld fd.
B. Stres make the leftver mystery bxes available at night.
C. Peple feel like such fd as milk and bread mre attractive.
D. It ges against the cncept f zer-waste and envirnmental prtectin.
29. The underlined wrd “expiratin” in the 2nd paragraph is clsest in meaning t _____________.
A. purchasingB. prducingC. endingD. selling
30. What is a cnsequence f fd waste accrding t the text?
A. Wrldwide starvatin.B. Envirnmental harm.C. Energy shrtage.D. Mral decline.
31. What is the authr’s attitude twards the leftver mystery bxes?

FAO is als prmting ways t repurpse Sargassum, turning it int prducts t prvide additinal emplyment and incme. In fact, small businesses are already using Sargassum t make bricks, shes, saps and paper. Larger businesses are cnsidering turning Sargassum int renewable energy and biplastics.
32. Why des the authr mentin space in paragraph 1?
A. T stress the Sargassum blm is massive.

It keeps what’s inside a mystery until yu pen it. There are usually tys in mystery bxes; but nw, fd
has been added t the list.
Recently, the trend f “leftver mystery bxes” has becme ppular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing, Nanjing and Chengdu. Stres pack bxes full f unsld fd r fd nearing its expiratin date at lw prices.
“We make the leftver mystery bxes available t buy at the end f the day,” Wu Tian, a staff member at a cnvenience chain stre in Beijing, tld China Daily. The fd, such as milk, bread and sandwiches, is sld at abut half the riginal price and is usually sld ut quickly. Many bakeries have als jined the “mystery bx club”.
Due t their lw price, leftver mystery bxes “are very prmising as a new business mde” and can attract mre cnsumers, Hng Yng, an expert at the Ministry f Cmmerce, tld China Daily. “In additin, they fllw the cncept f zer-waste and envirnmental prtectin.”
In 2021, the ttal amunt f fd waste in China reached 160 millin tns, with an average f 93 grams per meal per persn, China Fd Newspaper reprted. Since the passage f China’s Anti-Fd Waste Law in April 2021, peple’s awareness f fd waste reductin has increased. Leftver mystery bxes can be an effective way fr peple t deal with fd waste.

If a cnsumer unpacks a mystery bx and discvers that the fd tastes bad r has already passed the last date, then it will be difficult fr them t prtect their rights, such as getting mney back.
Only by cnsidering bth fd safety and cnsumer rights can mystery blind bxes achieve a win-win situatin fr bth buyers and sellers, cmmented China Yuth Daily.

There’s beauty in the wds especially late in the fall. Smetimes yu walk amng the huge trees, where the sunlight filters thrugh. It’s quiet and big, with tuches f white and green and gld. And the silence is like that f a church.
It was like that the last time I was in the wds. I was alne, packing a rifle, a therms(保温杯) f cffee and three thick sandwiches. I went up int the hills, heading fr a well-used deer trail.
