Nowadays, kids all over the world are doing more and more extreme (极限的) sports. The most popular ones include inline skating (轮滑), BMX cycling (自行车越野), snowboarding, skateboarding and bungee jumping (蹦极跳). Why are they so extreme? They all have a few things in common: they’re fast, dangerous and usually send people flying through the air.

These sports started in the streets, but they were made popular by ESPN, the American TV sports network. ESPN held its first international extreme sports competition, called the “X Games,” in 1995. The X Games soon became a twice-yearly event with winter and summer games.

Now, some Chinese kids are falling in love with these cool sports. In cities like Beijing and Guangzhou, in the parks or streets, kids often practice inline skating or skateboarding, learning new tricks (花样) from their friends. Extreme sports are becoming so popular, even the Olympic Games are starting to welcome them. Mountain biking is now a part of the summer Games, and snowboarding is in the winter Games.

BMX cycling was added to the Beijing Games in 2008. “It’s a change that we can’t stop,” said Mark Ryerson, a US Olympic historian. “The Olympics have to look into sports that people are interested in.”

People in Britain celebrate Halloween on October 31st. This isn't a holiday though. 【1】Orange is related (有关于) to harvests because the end of October is the end of the harvest. Black is related to death. Pumpkin lanterns are everywhere on Halloween. People take the inside part out of pumpkins and cut eyes, mouth and a nose on one side. 【2】The candlelight (烛光) creates a scary face effect. In the past people used potatoes to make lanterns, but today people use pumpkins. They are easier to cut and people can buy them in supermarkets. People use pumpkin lanterns to decorate (装饰) their homes. People of different age usually dress up on Halloween. Young children usually go trick or treat with parents or an older brother or sister. Children dress up and then visit the houses in their neighborhood asking for a "trick or treat". 【3】If there is no treat, the children play a trick on the neighbor. They can play different tricks on the neighbor. 【4】People think that playing tricks is unkind but luckily there is nearly always a treat.

①Supermarkets only sell food before its “sell-by” date. So where does food past its “sell-by” date go? The answer is in the trash bin. Besides shops, people also cast away a lot of food when they buy too much and can’t eat it up. To stop food waste, people have come up with great ideas. Take a look and try to join the action!

②Set up food banks. When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world’s first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated (捐赠) from nearby markets and restaurants. It’s free for anyone to enjoy.

③Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves (货架) in special cafes. There, the food has no price label (标签). You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly.

④Buy less. When there’s no food bank around, what can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less (无托盘). It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash.

【1】The underlined words “cast away” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. put away B. take away C. give away D. throw away

【2】Which of the following is true according to the article?

A. People need to pay for food from “share fridge”.

B. Dining without trays helps to reduce food waste and save water.

C. Fifty percent of American restaurants are going tray-less.

D. The food in the Real Junk Food Project is free for anyone.

【3】How does the writer organize the writing？

A. B. C. D.

【4】What’s the main purpose of the writing?

A. To show how important the food bank is.

B. To introduce some ways of stopping food waste.

C. To ask people to buy food past its “sell-by” date.

D. To discuss where the food past its “sell-by” date goes.

How Much Do You Pay Your Kids? —Obamas’ $1 Allowance（零花钱）

Many children in America try to find the jobs during their holidays to earn their pocket money, including President Obama’s daughters Sasha and Malia. Obama gives his seven and ten-year-old daughters just a dollar a week each for the jobs they do. They help to do housework such as setting the table, washing dishes, and c【1】 their play areas and bedrooms.

Some people question if it is r【2】to give children allowances in this way. But most of the American parents believe that everyone in the family should be responsible for the housework. The people who agree with this point say that kids shouldn’t just get allowances for n【3】 , and that such payments can help kids learn it is not easy to get money -- this is the first l【4】of their money management skills. Most of the children in America are allowed to spend their allowances on the things they like. Many people think that kids can start receiving allowances around ages 4 or 5, when children start to understand how money w【5】in life.

How much should the children get from their jobs is another problem, especially in these tough economic times (经济困难时期). One way here can help the parents to make the decision: write down how m【6】 you spend on your child daily for two weeks and set an arrangement based on (基于) the average daily expenses. Then you will get the answer.
