He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously（紧张）, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didnt think he was very nice and I was sure he wasnt the type I would like to become friends with. During that year, I didnt talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me. But one day I joined those unkind kids making fun of him. We made fun of him though（虽然）I thought it was wrong. “Dont you have any friends?”a kid asked Christian, who walked past us alone, head down. “No, he doesnt have any friends. Hes too stupid and shy，”I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes . I felt very sorry at that moment. That night, I couldnt sleep because I couldnt get Christians face out of my mind. In the following weeks , he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive(原谅) me. But I thought I should. The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never know what your apology(道歉) means to me, Jimmy.” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends.”We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk .

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is much enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2013, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food on the table. Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, lost the job because she took some left food home for her son. But many people stood by her. What should we do in our daily lives to waste less food? Here are some tips: Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cant eat up all the food, take the rest of it home. Dont be too picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Dont buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit. 11. How many people were hungry in the world in 2013 according to the UN World Food Program?A. 200 million. B. Six million. C. 925 million.
