根据短文内容，判断正误(正确“T”，错误“F”)，并将所选答案涂到答题卡的相应位置上。
We all need food. But when you can’t finish your meal, how do you feel? You might think that wasting a
little food isn’t a big deal. The truth is that people in China waste 35 million tons of food each year. It’s nearlyone third of food waste in the world. As we all know, food waste becomes a serious problem in China.
In order to cut down food waste,the government has started the “Clean Plate Campaign(运动)”. Especially
in restaurants, we can see signs of the “Clean Plate”on the wall. Many restaurants remind their customers that
they shouldn’t order lots of food. According to the law passed in April, 2021, if the restaurants always mislead
(误导) customers to order quite a few dishes, they will face a fine(罚款). Restaurants in Wuhan have begun the
N-1system, which means groups of customers are supposed to order one fewer dish than the number of people in
the group. For example, a group of 7 people can order 6 dishes at most. Most restaurants provide customers with
free packing boxes (打包盒), and customers can use them to take the leftovers (剩饭剩菜)home.
Today, more and more people start to realize the importance of saving food. Everyone should play a
part in the “Clean Plate Campaign”and say no to food waste .
1. Chinese people waste twenty-five million tons of food every year.
2. The Chinese government starts the “Clean Plate Campaign” to save food.
3. The restaurants will be fined if they mislead the customers to order lots of dishes.
4. According to the N-1 system, if five people go to the restaurant, they can order six dishes.
5. Nowadays many people find it important to save food.

My father was very hard on us children. His attitude didn’t so often as I grew into a man and went to college.
I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never
met me, even in bad weather. If I grumbled, he would say in his loudest voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t upset me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also
felt less valued because my father didn’t seem to care about my safety. But that feeling disappeared one spring
evening.It was a very difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I wanted to go home very much. When the bus
reached the stop, I stepped off and began the long journey home.
There were a row of hedges on the driveway that climbed along the hill to our house. I always had a sense of
relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that special evening, the hedge had just come
into view when I saw something grey moving along the top of the hedge and moving toward the house. When
getting closer, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I came home, he would stand
behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I arrived safely. I kept back the tears. He did care, after all.
Later, that spot of grey became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its
secret movement above the green plants. When I reached home, I would find my father sitting in his chair. “ So,
my son, it’s you!” he’d say.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”
