    Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.

    People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, "tree of goodness".

    The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long it's been there. But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.

    The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.

    "The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge. But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin," she said.

    1.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?

    A. A tree planted on March 23.

    B. The fridge outside for the hungry to take from.

    C. The popular restaurant in Kochi, India.

    D. A neighboring tree near Pappadavada.

    2.What does the manager of the restaurant advise in the last paragraph?

    A. People shouldn't throw foods into dustbin.

    B. Everyone should always avoid waste.

    C. People shouldn't buy food for that.

    D. Everyone should help those in need.

    3.What is special about Minu Pauline?

    A. She runs her restaurant in a different way.

    B. She saves food and helps others in a wise way.

    C. She sets a higher standard to deal with waste.

    D. She makes the community more friendly to each other.

    Common public speaking problems

    The use of "I feel", "I think" and "maybe"

    In the question-and-answer session of the speaking competition, many contestants began their answers with uncertain expressions like "I feel", "I guess", "I hear", "maybe" and "perhaps".

    These words show that the person is only speaking from his or her point of view.1.

    Work on keeping your answers brief and to the point, 2.. Instead of the empty-sounding "I guess", using facts, together with a clear conclusion based on those facts, is far more likely to be popular with an audience.

    Using only one speaking style

    Don't stick to the same tone.3.

    For example, when they spoke about their dreams, some sounded romantic. Others used humor. Very few used several different styles together. Try mixing more than one style, rather than just sticking with the same one.

    Irresponsible answers

    Public speaking is different from personal conversations. You're responsible for your words. 4.So you should think twice before you talk. Don't be like the student who, when asked about his opinion on book piracy（盗版）, started by saying he supported it.

    Talking around the topic rather than directly answering it

    You should focus on one point and give a clear solution. The key is to work out what question is being asked. Is it asking you to discuss a certain topic or to present your own point of view?

    Use one or two arguments together and give a strong conclusion.5.

    A. It can be boring. Try to mix it up.

    B. Even though you want to answer quickly, you don't want to sound foolish.

    C. Also work on delivering them with calmness and confidence.

    D. Deliberate gestures and affected（做作的）expressions of feelings are improper in a successful speech.

    E. Remember that judges are not judging you on whether they agree, but on your ability to say what you think clearly.

    F. This lacks the support of facts and seems not to be reliable for the judges and audience.

    G. Confidence is extremely important in public speaking as it lets a speaker sound more convincing.
