“Clear your plate. Say no to waste.” “Don’t waste a grain of food.” In the cafeterias (自助餐厅) of schools and companies across China, banners (横幅) like these have been put up everywhere. They are part of a nationwide campaign (活动) to cut down on food waste in China.
Food waste has become a big problem these days. According to the United Nations, 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted every year--- that’s about a third of the world’s total food. In China alone, the restaurants wasted 17 to 18 million tons of food a year from 2013 to 2015. That could feed 30 to 50 million people for a whole year, according to Chinese Academy of Sciences.
To push for the campaign , restaurants and catering associations (餐饮协会) in more than 18 provinces in China have all taken action to control food waste.
In Shanxi province, for example, restaurants have been asked to serve half portions (半份) to avoid waste. The Wuhan Catering association suggested that restaurants use the “N-1 mode”. For example, a group of 10 diners should only order enough for nine people at first. More food is only brought to the table if required. If people can’t finish their meals, they are also encouraged to take the leftovers (剩菜) home.
A related online activity has been launched on Sina Weibo. Users share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals. Lots of famous pop stars have joined in and asked their fans to develop the habit of saving food. On Wechat, a mini-program called “Cleat Plate” invites people to exchange pictures of their empty plates for credit points (信用分). People can use the credit to buy things or donate food to children in poor areas.
“We hope our efforts can become popular among the younger generation, encouraging them to carry out the virtue (美德) of saving food and developing the habit of thrift,” said Liu Jichen, developer of the mini-program.

六、任务型阅读。
Palm reading, or palmistry (手相术), is the art of studying the lines on the palm of the hand to describe a person’s characteristics and foretell(预知) future events in a person’s life.
To study a person’s characteristics and future, a palm reader looks carefully at the three main lines on the active hand (the one a person writes with). The reader usually looks first at a person’s Life Line. This begins under the index finger (食指), and goes down towards the wrist (手腕). This line describes the way a person lives his or her life. A person with a deep Life Line is energetic and competitive (好竞争的). If a person has a faint (模糊的) line, he or she is more of a thinker than a doer.
The Heart Line runs across the hand, just below the fingers. This line describes one’s feelings. A person with a deep Heart Line is a peace maker. Family is important to this person. Those with a faint line do not like to be alone. They are often controlled by their feelings.
The Head Line is below the Heart Line, it describes how a person thinks. A person with a long Head Line thinks about things very carefully. Those with short Head Line do well in deciding things. A person with a deep Head Line is clever and talkative. Those with a faint Head Line are often very creative.
Palm readers believe that these lines and marks on the hand can tell us something about our personalities. Do you agree Try the test on yourself.
