Students will get a coupon (优惠券) if they eat up their food at East China University of Science and Technology. Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines, mobile phone covers and hand warmers.

“It’s been such a surprise,” said Sun Lijun, 19, a student at the university in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to finish our food.”

 The measure is part of a national “eat-up” campaign(行动) which is organized by students to deal with food waste on campuses(校园).

Why only on campuses, you might ask? Because according to a report by Xinhua News Agency, students waste twice as much food as the national average.

The campaign on campus food waste is receiving attention across the country.

“The aim of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also encourage students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, secretary of the Youth League Committee at Shanghai University.

   But some school food is poorly prepared, so students do not like to finish it all. Some schools have taken notice of this and they are taking measures to improve it.

   “I’m glad that we’ve reduced food waste since the “eat-up” campaign began. But if we call on students to waste less food, we should also improve the service and food standard on campuses.” said Tao.

 Kindergartens may teach you very important things you need to know. Dan, 

a 5-year-old boy, saved his father’s life with the skills he learned.

The boy’s father became seriously ill on the way home from a father-son shopping. 

He couldn’t speak and could hardly move, but he tried hard to stop the car safely. At 

that point, Dan used his father’s phone to call his mother for help. The 5-year-old 

boy tried his best to give her useful information and he was able to tell where they were.

Just as he had learned in the Kindergarten, Dan read the letters he saw on a nearby 

store sign: “F,U,R,N,I,T,U,R,E.” But that wasn’t enough for his mother to find them. 

Then he added that they were near a bridge. Finally, his mother understood he was

 talking about a store called Furniture 22 on New Jersey’s Route 22. 

The mother called 911 and the father was saved in time. “He just thought his dad

needed help,” Dan’s mother told the reporter.  She also pointed out that her husband 

was a hero, too. “It is surprising for him to get off the highway and get himself and his 

child to safety even when he was so sick,” she said.

     Shine, head of the Kindergarten, felt proud of his pupil. “Dan’s spelling skills 

helped seize(抓住) the moment,”he said. “And that’s the real value of education.”

1. When the father became seriously ill, he and his son were   __________.  

A. at home                          B. in a hospital 

C.  on the highway                  D. in a shopping center

2. Dan called ___________  for help when his father couldn’t speak. 

A. 911        B.   his mother         C. Shine        D. the reporter 

3. What has the writer learnt from the passage?

 A. Dan drove his father home.     

B. The reporter was really a hero. 

C. Shine sent Dan’s father to hospital.  

D. Dan saved his father with spelling skills.

I used to have little passion (激情) in my life. But what happened the other day changed my mind. It was then that I learned how 1 it is to have a passion in life.

That day 1 went home in Mom’s car. When Mom 2 at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed 3 rags (破旧衣服). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, because I had seen many like him before. Those people usually 4 unhappy and hopeless.

“He 8 it.” She replied.
