October 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It is used to remind people not to waste food and to ask people to fight hunger(饥饿).
A big number of people in the world still don't have enough food to eat. Food shortage(匮乏) is a big problem in the world. Right now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungrily and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts(干旱) and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don't realize how much food they throw away every day. On average(平均), a person throws away 50 kilos of food every year. According to the UN, more than 1/3 of all food produced in the world goes to waste each year. The amount(数量) of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.
So think twice next time you want to throw away food. If you try to avoid wasting food, you could save some food and help hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can't eat all you order, take the rest home. Don't be too picky about food so that you don't leave any on your plate. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy or cook too much.
31.What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 1 refer to(指代)
A.Food shortage. B.The UN. C.The year 1979. D.World Food Day.
32.How many children die of hunger each year

C.There are more hungry people in Latin America.
D.Half of all food produced in the world is wasted.
34.What should you do to avoid wasting food
A.Buy too much food at a time. B.Order a lot of food at the restaurant.
C.Throw away the food you don't like. D.Cook proper amount of food for each meal.
35.What is the best title of this passage
