T hese measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those whodo not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed t o b e d onated d irectly t o t he f ood b anks.

Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase insupermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed thehungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible forthe grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend thelaw to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in theEuropean Union to pass similar regulations.

No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead lie a dar cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to brea open and destroy my world.I lied painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.When I was twenty-one, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twenty-fifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the net twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to eep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a siteen-wee program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的). Ilearned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.“Jaws and Window-Eyes are leading software for the blind,” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, e-mail and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” I t’s amaing! Hope went up for the first time in years. “By learning how to use hot eys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Ecel and Powerpoint,” my instructor added.For the net several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaing computer, but I have a speaing watch, alarm cloc and calculator.4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The right opportunity.B.

At days end, reporters from different nations would share notes on what they had observed all over the grounds.Twenty-seven years later, the press room has touch screens that allow us to watch live videos from any court, and even go bac to watch ey moments in ey matches long after they have finished. You could cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But that is a bit lie spending all your time ordering room service and looing up fun facts on Wiipedia.More than at any other tennis tournament, there is also an appetite for stories that deal with the setting, the history and the traditions.If they change the price of the fish tacos (鱼肉卷饼) at the United States Open, it’s not a story. If they change the price of the strawberries and cream, the signature treat at Wimbledon. It’s time to email your editor using capital letters.The new retractable (可伸缩的) roof was put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had to have a rainy-day story in your noteboo because there were no guarantees any matches would be played. Now tennis is a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made tennis reporters a bit less creative. But at least it guarantees us daily access to the most atmospheric place in the sport.So much has changed, but Centre Court remains true to its original spirit more a theater than a stadium. Catching that feeling is part of covering Wimbledon, too.8. What did the author do on the Crow’s Nest in the past?A. He made friends with reporters.B. He reported on tennis matches.C.

The regulation that applies to supermarets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food bans.The law also maes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-epired food, or store it inside loced warehouses until it is piced up by the garbage trucs. These measures are often undertaen by supermarets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its epiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the ris of heavy fines.Also, ecess goods lie yogurt or mil that are liely to go bad quicly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food bans. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and comple, maing it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.France’s food bans are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving etra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a networ of French food bans called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermaret donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to etend the law to other places lie restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations. These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarets and restaurants maing up the rest.12. What should stores do with nearly-epired food?A. Throw it away.B. Send it to the hungry.C. Store it in refrigerators.D. Give it away to food bans.13. What does the underlined word “ecess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Etra.B. Cheap.C. Seasonal.D. Returned.14. What might Bailet agree with about the French food bans?A. They have a lot of epired food.B. They will get much benefit from the law.C. Their food is enough for the people in need.D. Their food mainly comes from supermarets.15. What does Dermabarsh plan to do?A. Build more food bans in France.B. Mae the law tae effect in more places.C. Organie a campaign to promote this law.D.
