Fall is here again. And it’s that time of year when it gets a little colder, the days get a little shorter, and the bears get much, much fatter.
Every year at this time, there is a competition for bears in Alaska’s Katmai National Park to look for the fattest bear in the park. Online voters(网上投票者) around the world will choose the winner. The competition goes on for a week, so it is called Fat Bear Week. This year’s competition ended on October 8. The winner was a bear named Holly. Between July 12 and September 22, she grew from a thin bear into a giant beast(巨兽).
Bears have to get fat so that they can hibernate(冬眠). By the time they go into hibernation, male brown bears weigh from 600 pounds(272 kg)to 900 pounds(408 kg). Adult females usually weigh about a third less. Hibernation can last for half a year and a bear can lose up to one third of its weight during this time. So it’s healthy for the bears to get fat.

I live with my grandmother in a Beijing yard house. One day last year, I was surprised to see a big foreigner coming out of the house next door to ours. He was very tall with short brown hair and a pair of glasses.
The first time I saw him, I was too shy to speak to him. “My English is too bad!” I thought. My grandmother told me that he had just moved into our yard. “I don’t like it!” she said, “Foreigners aren’t like us. Maybe he’ll play loud music and parties every night! I’m sure he’s going to cause trouble.”
Several days later, I met the foreigner as I was walking home after work. “Hello!” he said (in Chinese！). “My name’s Tony. I’ve just moved into the house next door to yours.” While I was wondering what to say, he continued, “ There’s a nice bar(酒吧) down the road. Why don’t you and your family come and have dinner with me ” “Bars are bad places,” said my grandmother when I told her, but we decided to go.
The bar was not at all what I had expected. It was in a beautiful little yard house, with several large bookshelves and pictures of Tibet on the walls. Several Chinese people and foreigners were sitting drinking or reading books. I noticed that some of the foreigners were speaking Chinese in a low voice to each other! “Oh, what a civilized place!” my grandmother exclaimed.
The bar served(提供) special “hutong pizzas”. As we ate, Tony told us about himself-he is an English expert(专家) in environment (环境). He always likes to be quiet. My grandmother said to me, “He really seems like a very nice young man.”

Oct. 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It reminds people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A number of people in the world still don’t have enough food to eat. The food shortage(短缺) is a serious problem all over the world. Now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons for food shortage. First, there are more natural disasters. Also, a growing population(人口) makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don’t realize how much food they throw away every day. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food goes to waste each year.
Over 1,300 billion kilograms of food is wasted each year. The food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, while in Latin America 300 million a year.
So think twice before you throw away food. You’d better order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can’t eat all, take the rest home. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much. Don’t cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源), such as energy, time and water, are also wasted while growing and cooking. So everyone should know that it is important to save food. Saving food is saving ourselves.
Title: Introduction to World Food Day
The UN’s purpose(目的) to start this day To remind people not to 1 food and fight hunger.
Facts of food shortage 2 1,000 million people are hungry each year. 15 million children die of hunger each year.
3 for food shortage There are more 4 disasters now.

◆The problem of food waste is 6 all over the world.
7 to stop food waste 8 order more than you can eat at a restaurant. Take the rest of food home if you can’t eat all you’ve ordered. Be sure not to 9 more food at home than you need.
Conclusion Everyone should know the 10 of saving food.
