People in
America are being asked to stop wasting food. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) claims 15.4 million kilograms of food 26 out every year. Considering how many people
around the world go hungry, this is bad enough in itself. But this food waste
is also 27 the environment. Food waste is a source of
methane, a gas that plays a big part in global warming.
The EPA
report said that a typical household of four could save US$1,600 28 reducing food waste. However, the EPA also 29 that only 40 percent of wasted food comes from
households. 30 60
percent comes from businesses, restaurants, and supermarkets. They also need to
learn some lessons about food waste, the EPA said.
One chef who
agrees is Cathal Armstrong. He says chefs are not 31 how not to waste food, and have to learn it
themselves. One example he gives is using pieces of lobster that won’t be
served to customers to make stock. Stock is a liquid preparation 3 2 in
many dishes. 33 ,
people can learn from Armstrong’s example and cut back on waste food in the
future. It’ll save them money and be good for the planet as well.

Since the
1400s, the British have been saying “thank you.” These two words have spread
around the world and have been 34 by non-English speakers. There is even a
holiday to celebrate “thank you,” as January 11 is International Thank You Day.
Because of the broad use of the phrase and the fact that it was first used in
England, one might expect the British would be saying it all the time today.
However, according to a recent survey, that is not true at all.
The Brits
have not abandoned their 35 , but they are choosing to express their
thanks in other ways. Over half the people who completed the survey said they’d
be more likely to say “cheers” 36 “thank you.” Around 40 percent said the
traditional phrase was just too 37 to use. Many people prefer more casual words
like “cool” or “lovely,” while others will even say nothing and just react 38 a wave or a smile.
In the end,

Some people
are drawn to extreme sports. Whether it’s jumping from a high place with an
elastic rope wrapped around their ankles or rolling down a hill inside a huge
rubber ball, there’s always something new for people who love excitement. One
of the more recent sports to appear is called Flyboarding. It allows people to
leap out of the sea like a flying fish and soar around like Iron Man.
Flyboarding
was invented in 2011 by Franky Zapata, a French water sports fan. The Flyboard
itself is a combination of a jetpack and a surfboard. It is connected to a jet
ski by a long hose. The jet ski drives around the ocean, sending water rushing
through the hose. This pushes the Flyboard rider into the air. When the water
is used up, the Flyboarder dives back into the sea to let the water build up
for the next leap.
While in the
air, Flyboarders use their feet to control its power and movement. They also
hold on to the jetpack to keep themselves balanced. They can spin, dive, and
fly like Superman. Check out a YouTube video to see what amazing tricks a
Flyboarder can perform, and why this new sport has become such a smash hit.

Russian
nesting dolls are well-known symbols of their country. Everybody knows that
within each doll is a smaller doll, with the smallest doll at the center. But
did you know that these beautifully-crafted figures are dying out?
The first
set of dolls, or Matryoshka, which means
“little matron” in Russian, was made in 1890. They were designed by Sergey
Malyutin, who also painted them, and carved by Vasily Zvyozdochkin. They were
inspired by a Japanese nesting doll, and are a modern interpretation on the
traditional Chinese nested boxes. There were eight dolls in the original set,
which included one boy doll and a baby doll in the center. The dolls were all
carved out of the same block of wood, a tradition that continues to this day.
Unfortunately,
production has been slowing down since the 1990s. The men and women who make
them pass their skills down from generation to generation. However, as
factories close and young people migrate
to big cities for jobs, there are fears that this knowledge will be lost
forever.
The
Matryoshka have been called a reflection of the soul of Russia. They represent
female strength and care. With production levels falling, be sure to cherish
any sets that you come across, as these beautiful figures will become rarer and
more valuable in years to come.
46. What is this article
mainly about?
(A) The problems facing the Russian job market.
(B) Different types of arts and crafts in Russia.
(C) The different types of nested toys around the
world.
(D) A Russian traditional handicraft that’s facing the
threat of disappearing.
47. What is said about the
first ever Matryoshka?
(A) It was designed, carved, and painted by the same
artist.
(B) All of the dolls in the original set were
females.
(C) The idea came from a toy from another country.
(D) It was invented in the 1990s by two Russian artists.
48. According to the
article, Matryoshka .
(A) must all come from the same piece of wood
(B) represent the unity of the Russian people
(C) inspired the creation of Japanese nested dolls
49. Which of the following
could replace the underlined word “migrate”?
(A) Enter. (B)
Move. (C) Reduce. (D) Create.
50. Why is the production
of Matryoshka dolls slowing down?
(A) Because young people are not learning how to make them.
(B) Because the trees used to make the dolls have
all been cut down.
(C) Because nobody is interested in buying these
dolls anymore.
(D) Because factory owners don’t believe they make
enough money.
