“I”—Storyteller Bertie—storyteller’s husband The White Prince—a lion …
We never had children of our own—just The White Prince—and I can tell you, he was enough of a family for anyone. He walked freely in the park just as we had planned he would, and ran after the deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it; but be never did learn how to kill for himself. You can’t teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa
in our living room—I wouldn’t have him inside our bedroom, no matter (无论) how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the line somewhere.

Wood Hill with his arm around the lion’s neck and I would fly kites. You know, I’ve always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.
The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if he’d wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever. Bertie went, he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then he’d sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Bertie’s car coming up the path to the front of the house.
The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and could see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Bertie’s feet. When he died, we buried(埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Bertie’s wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window.
I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case(以防) he forgot where the lion was. “I will, but he should get more than a tree.” Bertie said.
Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him. He would sit for hours in his room, or go off on long walks by himself. He seemed so shut away inside himself, so distant(遥远的). Try as I did. I could not reach him.

H 47 , many people still prefer paper books to e-books because they think that brains work b 48 when reading paper books.
Now, some scientists have come up with some d 49 ideas. They believe how brains work is not greatly affected by the way people read, but depends on the following factors (因素). They i 50 the type and content of reading materials, the p 51 of reading. etc. When people read for entertainment, like news about star families or f 52 stories, reading paper books or e-books makes no difference. When people read to gain k 53 about science, reading paper books is more helpful. Brains need longer to deal with harder problems. Usually, taking notes by h 54 on paper books takes longer than typing (打字) notes out on digital devices. So it’s e 55 for you to remember key points when you read paper books.

Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD (an American website) has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.
1. Do activities you enjoy.
Remember, there’s no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push-up (俯卧撑), can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.
2. Exercise after work.
Don’t go home first. Few people are so motivated (有动力的) that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes.
3. Exercise even when you are tired.
Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes
better use of the oxygen exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.
4. Notice that you are better than before.
It’s great when your clothes fit better, you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There’s something good too, like getting a good night’s sleep or thinking more clearly.
5. Walk with a pedometer (计步器).
Not everyone can start out with 10,000 steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And then, try your best to walk 300 extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000 steps a day.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的短文，每空一词。
According to WebMD, there are some easy ways to make exercise a habit. First, when you do activities you enjoy, such as push-up, you don’t have to consider 56 conditions. Second, the best way is to exercise before going home because most people are unwilling to go out again and exercise after 57 clothes at home. Third, keep on exercising even though you feel tired. That’s because taking a 58 breath will help your body make better use of oxygen exchange. Moreover, pay attention to your 59 in exercising, like losing some weight, exercising longer, etc. Finally, walk with a pedometer and find out your daily steps. Then, 60 the number of steps day by day. Your goal of 10,000steps a day can be achieved.

Food waste is a world’s problem. Every year, about 1.3 billion tons, or one-third of all the food produced is thrown away, according to a survey. Using just 25 percent of that wasted food could feed 870 million hungry people, which would end world hunger. The people of France wasted 234 pounds (磅：重量单位) of food per person, which is much better than some other countries. In the past, France wasn’t good at controlling food waste, but now the country takes the lead.
A law was made by French government. It made France the first country in the world to prevent supermarkets from throwing away unused food. Now supermarkets of a certain size must donate unused food, or they will face a fine. There are other rules requiring schools to teach students about food sustainability (可持续性). They also ask companies to report the food waste numbers in their environmental reports. And restaurants should provide take-out

“These laws make it a standard to reduce waste.” says Marie Mourad, a student in Paris who has written several reports on French food waste. “France is not the country that wastes the least food, but Frenchmen have become the most active because they want to be the example in Europe.”
“Preventing supermarkets from throwing away food means a lot,” says Jonathan Bloom, a famous writer. “This step has influenced parts of French food industry.”
It is everyone’s duty to fight against food waste. Everyone should pay attention and take action.
