The creative projects of World Food Program (WFP) focused on preventing hunger from taking hold in the future and breaking the cycle of hunger. Here are some of the ways in which we work to prevent hunger in the future:
School Meals
As well as directly addressing hunger, School Meals projects encourage families to keep their children in school and help them build better futures. If children aren’t hungry they will concentrate on their lessons. With a solid education growing children have a better chance of finding their own way out of hunger. These projects benefit girls especially. For more information: www.wfp.org/schools meals.
Food for Assets(有用的人)
WFP’s Food for Assets projects provide the hungry with food to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. When poor farmers no longer have to worry about the next meal, they have the time and energy to build irrigation(灌溉) systems that can increase production. Similarly, Food for Training projects allow the poor to devote time to learning skills that will sustain(维持) them economically in the future. For more information: www.wfp.org/food-assets.
HIV/AIDS
WFP uses its food rations(配给) to reduce the blow of HIV and AIDS. The agency distributes its rations to people living with HIV and AIDS, so they can keep providing for their families for longer and have time to transfer vital knowledge and skills to the growing number of AIDS children--the next generation of food providers in developing countries. For more information: www.wfp.org/hiv-aids.
Purchase for Progress
WFP buys large amounts of food in developing countries. It has this purchasing power and uses it to help poor farmers contact reliable markets where they can get competitive prices for their produce. With secure markets, farmers will be encouraged to produce more and innovate(创新).The knock-on effect (连锁效应) is producing more food for everyone. For more information: www.wfp.org/purchase-progress.
1.The text is written with the purpose of ____.
A. seeking solutions to some hot issues
B. introducing some of WFP’s projects
C. raising money for the people in need
D. calling readers’ attention to the poor
2.The farmers who want to receive some training should visit_____.
A. www.wfp.org/food-assets
B. www.wfp.org/hiv-aids
C.www.wfp.org/purchase-progress
D.www.wfp.org/school-meals
3.AIDS children can benefit from food rations in that(在于,因为)_____.
A. they no longer go hungry
B. they can take care of their parents
C. they don’t have to worry about food
D. they can learn more skills from their parents
4.By buying large amounts of food in developing countries, WFP aims to ____.
A. help farmers to increase their income
B. introduce new ways of farming to farmers

The London Eye 4D Film Experience started in August and is included in the London Eye ticket price. It is a fantastic 4D film to entertain you before your trip on the London Eye. The 4D effects are great.
No Extra Cost to You
That’s right; you buy your ticket for the London Eye and 4D cinema experience. Merlin Entertainments, the London Eye owners, spent 5 million creating the film and building the 4D cinema and wanted to improve the value for money of the London Eye.
What to Expect
The 4D Cinema entrance is in the ticket hall. So after buying your ticket, go straight to it, where you’ll be given a pair of glasses.

We can stay young forever. That is the message Dr. Shen Ziyin wants to give the world. And the Chinese doctor claims that he has found an answer to the problems of aging.
His solution is a herbal medicine to slow the process of aging.
Dr. Shen Ziyin has been trained in Western medicine. At the same time he studied traditional Chinese medicine. And, he has been working for the past forty years to put together the best of both and find a cure for aging. He has taken a hint from the ancient Chinese medicine system called “shen”.
According to Shen, it is the kidney which adjusts the functioning of the body as well as its aging process. It is responsible for the level of activity that the human bodies go through. Studies conducted by Dr. Shen show that herbal medicine based on the shen system slow the aging process, says a report in The Telegraph newspaper.
We notice that when people grow old, they have reduced strength, loss of hair, backache, weakness in general, and wrinkles, among others. This happens because when people grow old, their bodies produce T-cells. These T-cells contain a particular substance called Fas. Fas makes the cells in the body destruct themselves.
So the only way to slow down aging is to slow the production of T-cells in the body. This can happen if people eat low calorie food. Then the body is not active enough to produce extra T-cells. But, is going hungry all the time a good price to pay for staying young?
This is where Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine comes in. But how effective it will be, only time can tell.
1. How did Dr. Shen find the solution to the problem of aging?
A. By studying Western medicine.
B. By learning traditional Chinese medicine.
C. By doing research on both Western and Chinese people.
D. By combining both Western and Chinese medicine.
2.What plays the most important role in keeping people young according to Shen?
A. Medical treatment.
B. People’s good kidney.
C. Level of people’s activity.
D. Positive life attitude.
3.The reason why people become old is that _________.
A. their bodies are unable to fight diseases
B. their bodies produce T-cells
C. they have reduced strength, loss of hair
D. they become weaker and weaker
4.We can probably learn from the passage that _________.
A. people should try to quicken the production of T-cells in the body
B. the more Chinese herbal medicine people drink, the better for health
C. it remains unknown how effective Dr. Shen’s herbal medicine is
D. producing more low calorie food allows people to keep young

Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue(美德). That is, except in the small town of Piobbico, the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That’s when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.
People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of people gather in Piobbico’s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.
The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people, on the other hand, are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.
Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.
1.Piobbico is rather special in that_________ .
A. it is a very small town
B. it is home to ugly people
C. it receives no visitors
D. it is the capital of Italy
2.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Ugly people are most respected in Italy.
B. The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.
C. Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.
D. The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives.
3.Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?
A. Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.
B. Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.
C. Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.
D. Because he was won the member’s trust and admiration.
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ugly Capital of the World
B. The Ugliest Person of the World
C. Festival of the Ugly
D. Beauty Contests Should be Banned.
