Everyone may dream at night. Do you always believe your dream Some dreams make us feel relaxed and happy, while some dreams frighten us. Don’t you think so I even had such an experience.
One day I noticed the brakes (刹车) on my car getting weaker. They still worked but it took longer for my car to stop. I knew I needed new brakes, but I had many other things to do. So I didn’t take it seriously.
Then on Christmas Eve, I had an awful dream. I was driving my car on a bright, sunny day when suddenly a truck appeared on the road in front of me. I pushed on my brakes but they didn’t work and I hit that truck. The terrible dream woke me up at once and I made up my mind to change my brakes the next day. When the worker took out the old ones, I noticed that they had worn thin.
One day, I was driving home with my daughter beside me and my two sons in the back seat. Suddenly, a truck came from the other direction. It was running too fast and moved two feet over the center line. I hit my brakes and led my car toward the side of the road. We were surprised that the huge truck missed us by only a foot. It was too dangerous.
Later when I lay in my bed, I realized if I didn’t get my brakes changed, I couldn’t slow down fast enough. My children and I may be hurt or killed. I closed my eyes and gave thanks for that dream.
28．The writer didn’t change his brakes at first because he ________.

C．on Christmas Day D．on a bright, sunny day
31．What can you learn from the passage
A．Every family has its own problem. B．Where there is a will, there is a way.
C．Behind bad luck comes good luck. D．A stitch (缝补) in time saves nine.
D
More than half of the food produced in Canada goes to waste. A shocking new study has shown that the level of food waste is far worse than previously thought, at 58%. Of that, about 85% of food waste is due to food processors. This differs from earlier studies, which criticized families for driving food waste and said they were responsible for 51% of food waste.
The study was carried out by Martin Hooch, the leading expert on food waste and the author of several previous studies on the subject. Reflecting on the study’s findings, Hooch said, “It means stopping criticizing consumers. Sure, consumers are part of the problem, but they’re not the problem.”
In the past, Hooch didn't master good data, particularly from the private factories, but relied on numbers collected by the food industry for purposes other than tracking(追踪) waste. This time, however, Hooch worked directly with companies at all stages along the food production chain and interviewed over 700 experts in the industry. Clearly he found it hard to believe what he was seeing.
This is what they found: Food processing causes 34% of food waste. This is followed by production, which causes 24%. Next is manufacturing at 13%, then hotels and restaurants at 9%. Families cause only 14%, and market sales 6%. This should be a serious wake-up call for Canadians who would do well to examine their own food supply chains. Food waste is costly, not only in terms of dollars wasted, but also in resources like land, water, and so on. To be using these resources and wasting the product is totally irresponsible and unnecessary.
To make matters worse, when food is thrown into rubbish cans, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas 30 times more powerful than carbon dioxide (CO2). At Canada’s rate of food waste, that's like adding 12 million cars to the road. It seems that the food industry needs redesigning. Therefore, let’s hope the government takes action.
32．What did earlier studies say about food waste in Canada
A．Food waste was better than expected. B．Food went bad when it was processed.
C．Most of the food was wasted on purpose. D．Families were to blame for food waste.
33．How did Hooch do his study on food waste this time
A．By studying data from the industry.
B．By tracking the whole production chain.
C．By collecting advice from experts worldwide.
D．By drawing a conclusion from the previous studies.
34．Why does food waste have an effect on the environment
A．Because it is harmful to the trees. B．Because it pollutes the soil around it.
C．Because it gives off unpleasant smells. D．Because it produces more greenhouse gas.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．Canadians don’t like to save food for future.
B．More than half of the food is wasted in Canada.
C．Families are mainly responsible for food waste.
D．The food industry is better redesigned in Canada.
