In China, parents often tell their kids not to waste food. However, it's reported that a lot of food is wasted in restaurants every day.
Many people say when they eat out, they usually order a lot of dishes and they can't eat them up. One person in Chengdu, Sichuan Province says he takes away the leftovers. "Usually we'll have some leftovers after meals, because when I invite friends to eat out, I don't know how much they can eat, so I order lots of dishes to make sure everybody has enough food."
While another person in Fuzhou, Fujian Province says she never packs what is left on the dining table. "What I usually experience during eating out is a big meal.

What do people do with their old, useable but outdated(過時的) computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering(聚集) dust in homes. Many more are thrown out with the trash.
Finally, some computers are thinking of ways to reduce(減少) the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle（回收）old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
Laws（法律）are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycle old Sony products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善機構) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s trash into someone else’s treasure(財富) and cut down on waste, too.
小題1:Nobody knows what to do with their old computer.
小題2:Many old computers are in homes, covered with dust.
小題3:Dell is one of the companies which are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk.
小題4:If computer companies want to collect and recycle their used products, they have to pay money.
小題5:Hundreds of organizations only collect and repair old computers
小題6:The story talks about ways to deal with used computers.

閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從各題所給的四個選項中選出最佳答案。并在答題卡上將該字母的編號涂黑。
“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize (擴大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
小題1:We know that the word “cool” has had ________.
A. only one meaning   B. no meanings C. many different meanings
小題2:In the passage, the word “express” means “____________.”
A. see    B. show    C. know    
小題3:If you are ________ something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in    B. angry about    C. afraid of   
小題4:The writer takes an example to show he is _______ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with   B. strange to    C. worried about                  
小題5:In the passage, the writer suggests（暗示）that the word “cool” ______.
A. can be used instead of many words
B. usually means something interesting      
C. may not be as cool as it seems
