people in need.& He's donated &to
food banks. senior groups, and local fire departments, and helped
20 people in Terrace, his &hometown
,& get necessary dental care they couldn ' t
While making burgers that first afternoon , Luther told Erb that
his 25 - year - old daughter &had just been
diagnosed with cancer in Vancouver, two provinces and about 1,000
miles away. &"It struck a chord. I lost a
son four years ago and know the worries a parent has, " says Erb.
"I &decided on the way home I' d Leave him some
money so he could go and see his daughter. "
A few days later, Erb was on his way back to British Columbia after
delivering his father' s &ashes to a family
cemetery plot in Saskatchewan. He stopped at the diner for another
burger. which Luther offered to buy him because Erb had tipped him
well just a few days before. Erb said &" no
way"& and,& while the burger was
grilling. he asked the diner owner for a pen.&
then scrawled out the check and left it on the
counter.& "Luther looked at the check and couldn't
say anything.He just held his arms out. "& Erb
Erh .60,& still works construction part-time and
hasn't thought& twice about parting
with& the $ 7 million he ' s given to family

thankful to Erb.
Luther didn't need the money at all.
&& D. Erb had the
similar experience.

If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it. how can you
tell whether it's still edible (可以吃的) ? The easiest way is to check
the " expiration date (保质期) "& printed on the
wrapper.& If that date has already passed
,& you're likely to throw the candy
away.& But is that really necessary?
According to a report, tons of food is wasted each
year.& largely because people don't fully
understand what expiration dates ,& or "use-by
dates" ,& actually mean.
Food dating was introduced in the 1970s, because consumers wanted
more information about the things that they were eating. When they
first showed up. use - by dates were only supposed to indicate
freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in
their best conditions. However,& most customers
mistakenly believed that use - by dates indicated how safe the food
was , and they still largely do.& But the truth is
that these dates aren't related to the risk of food poisoning or
food - borne illness. according to Time News.
Eggs ,& for example,& can still
be eaten three to five weeks after purchase, even though the use by
date is much earlier. When their use - by dates pass, strawberry
juice may lose its red color and biscuits may lose their
crunch& ( 松脆的口感) but they are not
To stop consumers from misinterpreting &the
date and reduce the waste, scientists are calling for a standard
explanation to be printed following the use - by dates.
But this won't be a mistake that is easy to correct. since people
have believed it for so long Another problem is that the quality
levels of different foods change differently -some are still edible
long after their use - by date while others are not.
As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing
the use - by date to a date indicating when food is most likely to
year, tons of food is thrown away because______.
it is not safe to eat
it has passed use - by dates
the use - by dates are wrongly printed
it is no longer fresh
52. According
to the text, use - by dates was first introduced
reduce the waste of food
show whether the food was fresh
remind people to eat the food earlier
indicate the risk of food poisoning
author gives examples in Paragraph 4 to explain
that______.
eggs can be kept longer than their use - by dates
strawberry juice is harmful if it loses its color
biscuits will go bad if their use - by dates pass
&&D.& some food
is still edible after its use - by date
54. What does
the underlined word "misinterpreting in Paragraph 5
making use
of&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. paying no attention to
understanding
wrongly&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. having no idea of
55. Which of
the following is true according to Paragraph 6?
It is hard to set a standard for food quality.
The food dating should be stopped.
Food industry is responsible for the food waste.
D.& It's easy for people to accept the new
A new study has found that African elephants appear to use darkness
to avoid being seen or heard when raiding(搜索) farmland for
food.& The study Also showed that elephants carry
out their food raids based on the appearance of the moon , or lunar
cycle.& Researchers believe the animals are doing
this during the cover of darkness to avoid contact with human
A report on the study appeared in the African Journal of
Ecology.& Rachel Grant teaches animal behavior
at Anglia Ruskin University in England. She says elephants are
cathemeral, meaning they are active both day and night. But she
says, their raids on crops almost always take place at night. This
suggests that the animals go near villages when they sense that
their huge bodies are more difficult to see
Ms. Grant added that an elephant's knowledge of the higher risk of
being discovered on moonlit nights could explain its behavior
during the lunar cycle.
The study was carried out in and around Mikumi National Park in
Tanzania. The park has one of the largest populations of wild
elephants in Africa. It is about 300 kilometers west of Dar es
The researchers chose five villages near the wildlife area and
counted how many times elephants raided crops.&
They found that few of elephant " raid
nights"& took place during a full moon. The amount
of crop damage. also fell considerably during such
Rachel Grant says some elephants have what she calls " an
internally& arising biological rhythm( 生物节律) " or
they may be basing their decision - making on local
conditions.& In her words, "Many animals change
their behavior according to varying light levels and the realizing
&risk of raiding foods. " She says this rhythm is
likely to be a partly evolved, partly learned response.
Ms. Grant says the behavior probably is found in elephant
populations in countries other than Tanzania. She adds that
information from the study could be used to protect farms from
elephant damage.
56. What is
the text mainly about?
A new finding about elephant behavior.
The relationship between animals and humans.
Wild elephants living in Tanzania.
A wildlife protection program in Africa.
57 . African
elephants mostly carry out their food raiding at
night________.
for fear of the
sunlight&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. to find more food
so as not to be
discovered&&&&&&&&
to avoid the hot weather
58. What does
the underlined word " They"& in Paragraph 5 refer
The researchers. &&B. The
elephants.&&& C.
crops.&&&&&&&&
D. The villages
59. Ms. Grant
believes that the biological rhythms________.
only exist in
elephants&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
B. change with the living conditions
never change over
time&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. are all born with elephants
finding of the study is helpful in _________.
limiting the elephants' movements
B.& increasing the elephants'&
population
changing the elephants' behavior
protecting the farmers' crops

how Americans socialize.& Tell a US friend he's an
idiot( 白痴) , and you likely won't get invited to his
When Brits meet foreigners.& they're not always as
welcoming as they should be.& Americans in
particular can take this the wrong way - they say that the British

shocked when someone says to you "Hi! How are you today?" instead

The National Park Service in the United States manages a total of
401 "units".& One of the most memorable is Mesa
Verde National Park, in Colorado. The Spanish named the area. The
high, flat mountaintop is covered with many green juniper( 刺柏) and
pine trees.& It looks like a huge green table, a "
mesa verde"& in Spanish.

Today. from a distance. Mesa Verde appears as it did centuries ago.
In the distance are the flatlands and mountains of the Four Comers
area. That is where the states of Colorado, New Mexico
,& Utah and Arizona meet.
Some of the ruins in the Four Corners area belong to the earliest
people who lived there. They were hunters and gatherers
.& now known as Basket Makers.&
The Basket Makers lived in simple caves.& Their
civilization existed 2,000 years ago.
The first evidence that ancient people moved to Mesa Verde is from
about the year 500. They lived in pit houses , large holes in the
ground with roofs of wood and mud.& In about the
year 750 ,the early Pueblo people began building square structures
of large connected rooms above ground .Finally, in about 1100, they
climbed down the canyon walls and began building cliff
dwellings(住所).
Around Mesa Verde National Park ,& many objects
used by the ancient people have been recovered :&
pots ,& tools and jewelry.&
However.& human remains or any object from a grave
may not be touched. This is to honor the wishes of the modern
Puebloan people who live in the area today.
