【题目】When others get off the train to finally go home, Leonie Muller stays behind. That’s because she is already home: The train is her apartment, and she says she likes it that way. The German college student gave up her apartment in spring.“It all started with an argument I had with my landlord,” Muller told The Washington Post via e-mail.“I immediately decided I didn't want to live there anymore and then I realized: Actually,I didn’t want to live anywhere anymore.”
Instead, she bought a subscription (会员费) that allows her to board every train in the country for free. Now, Muller washes her hair in the train bathroom and writes her college papers while traveling at a speed of up to 190 mph.She says that she enjoys the freedom since she gave up her apartment.“I really feel at home on trains.It’s like being on vacation all the time,”Muller said.
“I want to inspire people to question their habits and the things they consider to be normal,” Muller told The Post.“There are always more opportunities than one thinks there are.The next adventure is waiting just around the comer-provided that you want to find it.”
Muller frequently travels late at night,although she tries to sleep at the apartments of relatives or friends. Often, she is accommodated by her boyfriend,her mother or grandmother. “Normally, we would have to have a long-distance relationship, but living on a train enables me to see him all the time,” Muller told German TV station SWR regarding her boyfriend.“Most of my friends really like the idea,although some consider it to be quite adventurous. Others, however,have reacted more negatively.They feel offended by the fact that I question the ordinary way of life and living.”

【题目】阅读理解How to Fill Your Empty Walls with Beautiful Art
If you've ever stared at an empty wall wondering what to put there, you're not alone. The idea of having the same museum print as everyone else doesn't seem that appealing.
But, many people who may be interested in purchasing art are at a loss on how to start. The amount of time taken to discover art and artists that you truly love, and the expense of purchasing art, keep many people from even considering it.
But now, TurningArt is solving this dilemma(困境). TurningArt is an online subscription(订阅 ) service that allows the average consumer to learn about art and be able to afford to own it. TurningArt offers art-lovers an online gallery of thousands of works, from highly accomplished and successful artists, to view in their homes and eventually buy if they want to.
Here's how it works
Visit TurningArt.com to browse through the work of hundreds of independent artists from across the country. Sorted by style, medium, color, price, artist, or even region, new art is added daily. You're sure to find several things you like.
Then, simply sign up for one of TurningArt's subscription plans. These start at just $10 per month. TurningArt will send you your first piece, framed and ready to hang right out of the box. The piece will not be the original, but rather a museum-quality print produced together with the artist. You can request the next piece at any time. New prints arrive in a mailer that you can use to send back your old prints.
You can enjoy each piece for one, two, or three months—however long you want. And, best of all, you never have to worry about taping, sizing, or centering your new print, because all prints are pre-sized to fit easily into the frame originally sent to you.

【题目】D
Would You Pay To Eat In A Dumpster(垃圾箱)?
Most of us don’t reach for that gnarled(多瘤的) carrot when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the "ugly food" movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.
One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.
Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring about the awareness of America’s food waste problem. "There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste," he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.
Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A change.org petition last year called for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.
Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called "Real Good", but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had "some challenges sourcing the product". A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.
This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.
【题文1】What does the underlined words "edible food" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Healthy food. B. Expensive food.
C. Food suitable to eat. D. Food grown locally.
【题文2】Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumpsters?
A. To share their fancy ideas. B. To warn people not to waste.
C. To show waste should be reused. D. To advise people not to throw dumpsters.
【题文3】What’s Josh Treuhaft’s advice to reduce America’s food waste?
A. People should make full use of ugly food.
B. People should join in the ugly food movement.
C. People should be more aware of food shortage.
D. People should develop their potential in producing food.
【题文4】What makes Raley’s stop its "Real Good" after 90 days of its operation?
A. Lack of sources of product. B. Retailers’ pursuing larger profit.
C. Bad harvests due to bad weather. D. People’s unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.
