11、 restaurant in Kochi, India, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take.People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada,
12、has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, tree of goodness.The fridge is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food, so those who take know how long its been there. But
13、most food doesnt stay in the fridge for long. In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations, the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time. Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.The idea to put a fridge on the street
14、came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food. She was especially saddened because that particular night, her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman, instead of her searching for it. She felt like she contributed to waste, an
15、d avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to.The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge.

18、ity more friendly to each other.B The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perh
19、aps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this approach might be beneficial for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like
20、 many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed radically over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While th
21、e language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition
22、 to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word err. The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her. However in recent years, more and more people have been pronou
23、ncing it so that it sounds like air.Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, En
24、glish has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course many slang words have been just short-lived fads that have died out quickly. Others,though, have been adopted by mainstream society and
25、become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.24When we begin to learn English, we think .Ait is interesting to take up a n

So, he and his wife, Oltita went t
29、o Bucharest, the capital city of Romania to get legal papers to move to Germany. However, when they arrived, they were surprised by what they saw. “Hundreds of street children were living in a busy and dirty city of two and a half million people. Many of them were using drugs. They all seemed lost.
30、Most of them were under ten years old. Oltita had tears in her eyes,” Catalin said.Many of these streets children were orphans (孤儿). They had grown up in the government orphanages, but had run away. They thought any place would be better than the orphanages. But the streets were cold and hard. The w
31、inters were freezing. The children had to sleep in warm sewers (下水道) under the ground. Many of the children even became involved with crime and violence (暴力).The Bacius did not like the sight of so many pitiful children in Bucharest. They wanted to leave immediately and go to Germany. However, that
32、night, Catalin and Oltita stayed with a friend in Buchares. “The friend we were staying with was working with street children. I was deeply touched by what he and his fellows were trying to dothey were sacrificing (牺牲) their jobs and lives to save street children,” Catalin said.After that visit, the
33、 Bacius completely changed their life plan. Instead of moving to Germany, they began working with street children in Bucharest. They started by opening a home called House of Hope, which provided a warm and loving place for children who needed to get away from the streets. Many hospitals and busines
34、s workers called House of Hope when they found troubled kids.

Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can t fix the damage.
37、Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If i
38、t is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys blood go through a machine. The machine
39、cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys brains. When the brain s temperature was 10C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. Th
