四、任务型阅读

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 big 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.

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.

六、任务型阅读 。（每空一词）
Many Chinese who travel to the US find that though they have studied English for years, they have to “re-learn” it when they arrive.
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here. To truly be part of the “melting pot”, fluency（流利）in English is not enough. You need an accent(口音) to stand out.
When I first came to the US for graduate school, 1 was a nervous foreigner．I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”. To talk like an American became one of my goals.
During my stay as a teaching assistant(TA), my students complained(抱怨) they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA. It is called the “Oh, no!” syndrome (情绪、举动), “Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that accent again!’’
So I imitated(模仿) the way native speakers talk over time, I made great progress that American friends started to think highly of my English as having “almost no accent’’. I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often thought of me as someone from many places: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most often, people think I am from California.
Suddenly, conformity (一致) was no longer a praise（表扬）: If I talk like an American，am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent，do I also lose my cultural identity(身份)? Am I denying（否认）my past by being lost in a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a ever-lasting record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience.
As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been replaced by a wish to hold on to my cultural origins. Now I add some Chinese “accent” on purpose when I speak．I do not wish to speak “perfect” English because I am proud of who I am.

Once there was a forest where all the animals lived happily together. One day a family went to spend the day in the forest, and the son left his socks there. After the family left, a bear came by, found the socks, and decided to try them on. They fit so well, and he liked them so much that he wouldn’t take them off.
All the animals talked about the bear’s new look. Soon, in that forest, there began appearing squirrels in shirts, rabbits in shoes, and even rats wearing hats! The forest doctor shook his head, telling animals, “This can’t be good. Animals don’t need clothes!” But no one listened to him. They said he was just out of fashion.
However, it wasn’t long before the first results of fashion-fever came. Several times the squirrel caught his shirt on trees, stopping him in mid-jump and sending him falling to the ground from a tree. The rat couldn’t go into his hole without taking off his hat first. Even the bear, because of his socks, slipped from the river rock and almost killed himself.
When the animals came to see the doctor, he gave them all the same advice, “Take off those clothes before one day they’re going to kill you.” Those who listened to the doctor’s advice stopped having accidents. And the animals realized that they didn’t need clothes at all. Starting to wear them had been very dangerous, and they had only done it to make others admire them, and to get attention.
