However, when he was speaking on the phone, he still had a problem. Andy called the airline. And the clerk confirmed that his plane was leaving at nine o'clock three days from that day. She also told Andy to be at the airport two hours earlier in order to check in his luggage (行李) and get a seat.Since he was leaving in three days, Andy didn't lose any time. He visited as many places as he could. He thought that it would probably be a while before he had enough money again. He wished he could come back and spend a year in Spain.Too quickly, the final day arrived. Andy left early for the airport to arrive two hours before take-off. He hated to rush. He went to the clerk to show his ticket. The clerk looked at the ticket in surprise. "Why, sir, but your flight was at nine o'clock in the morning, and now it is eight in the evening."

So the campaign on school food waste is getting popular across the country. The move is part of a national campaign started by students at different schools.At East China University of Science, students who finish their food in the school dining hall get a special card when they return their plates after meals. Students can collect cards and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, schoolbags, magazines and umbrellas. ―It‘s been such a surprise,‖ said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in Shanghai. ―It has given us one more motivation to eat up our food.‖―The purpose of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also teach students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,‖ said Tao Siliang from University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Other schools also pay attention to the quantity(数量) of food. At Nanjing No.9 Middle School, rice isdivided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose fromaccording to their own need. ―It‘s great because I can try different dishesat half price and don‘t waste so much food,‖ said Fan Peng, 15, a studentfrom this middle school.What if you really can‘t finish all your food? At Changchun NormalCollege, they provide a take-away service. ―If you can‘t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the left food home. Even if you feed the c at, it‘s not wasted,‖ said Zhou Zeyong, a student who learns Chinese education.―I‘m happy that we‘ve cut down waste since joining the school ‗eat-up‘ meeting. But some food is poorly cooked, meaning that students are not willing to finish it all. Some schools have taken note of this. So if we hope students try to waste less food, we should also improve the service and keep an eye on the meal quality on weekdays at school. If not, you can‘t complain students for throwing away much food,‖ said Wang Guangji, the head-teacher of Beijing No. 29 Middle School.47.Why did we start the campaign on food waste at schools?A.

Over the past six years, he has taken care of his mother who got Alzheimer‘s (老人痴呆症) disease.Chen‘s mother,64-year-old Chen Yueguang, has been ill since 2007. The illness became very serious quickly and she has lost the ability to speak and can not look after herself. None of Chen‘s other family members, however, could take care of their sick mother. Chen‘s father died in a traffic accident when he was eight, his two sisters married far away and his wife has a 92-year-old grandmother to look after.Chen taught Chinese in Central School of Lengshui town, which is about 30 kilometers away from hishome in Pan‘an. So he spent five days at school and only went home on weekends. Whenhe said he would take his mother to work, even his wife was doubtful and worried.

He thinks that his mother used totake him around and now he should take her.These days, things got a little easier for him. With the help of Pan‘an government, Chen got a new job in Pan‘an Middle School in O ctober 2012. The new school is only five minutes‘ ride from his home, which means he can take care of his mother more conveniently.Chen feels happiest when his mother is looking at him. She must have forgotten who he is, and she even can‘t call his name. But she surely knows that Chen is kind to her. He feels that is enough.On February 19th, 2013, Chen got the prize for Touching China, held by China Central Television to honor those whose performances have moved the people.52.

Or putting together a spacecraft? Or even seeing your face carved (雕刻) out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a 3-D printer.The possibilities of 3-D printing are as infinite (无穷的) as the universe. All the user has to do is design an object on the computer and select a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses ―print‖, the 3-D printer spreads the material layer by layer and like magic the object is formed.The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing only recently became cheap enough for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from recycled refrigerators. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College printed an artificial (人工的) ear. They covered the ear with cells from a cow‘s ear and found that it grew to look exactly like a normaBut like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands it can be dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce A TM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an A TM and used to copy credit card information. They stole over $400,000 (2.5 million yuan). It is a little scary to think that a criminal (罪犯) might one day use a 3-D printer to print a gun.But for better or for worse 3-D printing is now a reality. In a few years‘ time, you‘ll probably be w ondering how you ever lived without your 3-D printer!57. Who invented the first 3-D printer?A. Charles Hull from America.B. A Dutch artist, Dirk Vander Kooj.C. Scientists from Cornell Medical College.58. What is the correct order for people to use a 3-D printer?① The object is formed like magic. ② Use a computer to design an object.③ The 3-D printer spreads the material. ④Press the ―print‖ button.⑤ Select a proper material.A. ⑤④①②③B. ⑤③④②①C. ②⑤④③①59.
