    Imagine going to bed not knowing where your next meal is going to come from. 1. Today, nearly 11 percent of people on Earth suffer from hunger, according to a recent State of Food Insecurity in the World report published by the United Nations. But it turns out that this number is something to celebrate!

    Though the numbers look like a lot, the number of hungry people in the world has actually decreased by about 209 million since 1992. This has been mainly due to the hard work of organizations such as the UN, the FAO and the WFP.

    According to the WFP, the world produces enough food to feed the entire population of 7 billion people. 2. There are many reasons why food does not go from the producers to the consumers.

    People living in poverty cannot afford nutritious foods. This makes them weaker and it is harder for them to earn money to escape from poverty and hunger. 3. An average person in the US spends just 6.6% of the income on food.

    Drought is one of the most common causes of food shortage in the world. 4. In many countries, climate change is worsening the situation.

    Conflicts around the world can disrupt farming and food production. Fighting forces millions of people to flee their homes. These people don’t have the means to feed themselves.

    5. Food that is wasted uses up precious natural resources.

    A. How can we solve the problem?

    B. Each nation has its own challenges.

    C. One-third of all food produced is never consumed.

    D. But not everybody has access to food when they need it.

    E. That is the fate of nearly 805 million people in the world.

    F. Natural disasters such as flood and tropical storms can impact food output too.

    G. Do you know in poor countries people spend over 80% of their earnings on food?

    Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they’re given after all. Choice can be hard.

    I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

    I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job. ” That 1ogic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but finally, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.

    After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choice.

    1.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?

    A．His dream of being an inventor.

    B．The support of his wife.

    C．The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.

    D．Millions of exciting titles.

    2.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?

    A．The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him.

    B．He would be very excited if he tried it out.

    C．He would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try.

    D．The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him.

    3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A．Cleverness and Kindness

    B．The Starting of Amazon

    C．Following My Passion

    D．We Are What We Choose

    In today's world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function.” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads.

    However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells.

    “Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even other functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!

    Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch.

    Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget（小玩意） in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!

    1.What can we know from the first paragraph?

    A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion.

    B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.

    C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.

    D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today.

    2.According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays?

    A. It simply tells time.

    B. It appeals to many teenagers.

    C. It has many complex functions.

    D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination.

    3.Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to ________.

    A. show why Shinshoku watches are popular

    B. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash

    C. tell that today’s watches need more imagination

    D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets

    4.What may be the best title for the passage?

    A. Watches Tell More Than Time

    B. Japanese Watches Stand Out

    C. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation

    D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular
