University of Maryland student Ben Simon and his friends couldn't stand seeing good food thrown out on their campus. "We basically noticed that some of the extra food from the dining hall was going to waste at the end of the day. And we met with the dining services and asked them whether it would be okay if instead of throwing out the food we would donate it. And they were on board," he said.
So 18 months ago, the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network. Each night, volun?teers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks. So far, they have donated more than 23， 000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.
Nationwide, $ 165 billion worth of food is wasted each year, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council. Spokesman Bob Keefer says that is about 40% of the country's entire food production. **If we can re?duce our waste in this country by 15 %? we can feed 25 million hungry Americans. That is a huge benefit. That is what programmes like this Food Recovery Network are doing," he said.
Christian Life Centre is one of the beneficiaries (受益者)of the students' efforts. Ben Slye, the senior pas?tor (牧師)，said? "It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time, their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this. Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over one hundred people.，，
University of Maryland's Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the programme has expand?ed to 18 schools across the country. "I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years. And once we get to the Food Recovery Network being at ev?ery college campus inAmerica, we want to expand to restaurants and farms," said Simon.

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that, since it's only used for cooking, there's no need to pay much attention to its colour. 9 Colour influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere, and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cook-ing.
To decorate a kitchen, first look for a theme which will then influence the colour scheme (方案).The most common colours in kitchens are white, yellow and other light colours. Kitchens are usually painted in one colour to create a clean and neat look. 10 Also, since kitchens tend to have smaller windows, the light colours help make it brighter. Neutral colours such as grey and cream can also be used to create some contrast.
11 Start with your favourite colour, or two light col?ours that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners? three colours next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen, because one wrong colour can ruin the whole look of the kitchen.
When the kitchen colour scheme has been chosen, other elements must be considered. Some important things, such as cupboards, in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (瓷磚) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 12
Last but not least, no matter what colour scheme you use, make sure that it really is the one you want. 13
A. Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colours.
B. Different colours have different effects on people's mood.
C. Otherwise, get advice from other members of the family.
D. The light colours make the room seem bigger than it is.
E. There are different ways to create a colour scheme.
F. In a word, kitchen decoration must go together with the colour scheme,
G. But in fact, the colour schemes of kitchens are as impor?tant as those of any other rooms.

A discussion about hiking had been held in our class. Some students think that hiking during vacations can make people feel healthier, fresher or more harmonious with the nature.

We spend so much time waiting to be loved, hoping love will find us, and looking for that special love. Unfortunately, that's not usually how life works. To be loved, you should love and respect yourself as much as you do others. In order to love someone, you should love yourself.
• Stop comparing yourself to others. 5 We all have different gifts. When you compare yourself to others for what they have, whether it is a car, a house, or a job, it makes you feel bad about yourself. Really be grateful about every?thing you have. Gratitude keeps your heart open to love.
•Practise receiving love. To truly love is to be able to receive it. When someone loves you, does some kind deeds to you, or says kind words, accept it. 6 Know that you are worthy of love. It is important to accept a gift of love by oth?ers. You give yourself a chance to learn more about yourself that you are lovable. 7
• 8 Write about your experiences, good and bad. When you write down good experiences, allow yourself to feel those feelings. When you remember bad experiences, allow yourself to feel self-compassion. Compassion is not self-pity, but rather willingness to accept one's own pain and regret.
