The arugula (芝麻菜) was to make a nice green salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working
8、 late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought way to much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food
9、waste goes against the moral grain,” as Elizabeth Royte writes in this months cover story. Its jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food
10、 that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.” If thats hard to understand, lets keep it as
11、simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin sees my arugula story all the time but for him, its more like 12 boxes of donated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C. which recovers food and turns it into healthy meals. Last
12、year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we

18、orning before I went to school.“I like the project a lot.

24、initely among the biggest concerns. Actually, it was also an issue that ancient Chinese paid great attention to. In fact, the worlds earliest environmental protection concept, ministry and laws were all born in China. So, what did the ancient Chinese do to protect the environment?In early ancient Ch
25、ina, environmental protection was promoted to the political level. Xunzi, a famous thinker in Warring States Period, brought up the concept of “managing state affairs through environmental protection”. He stated in his book that vegetations (植被) should not be damaged at will. Guan Zhong, an official
26、 400 years ahead of Xunzi, was also an environmental protection expert. During his term of office, he claimed that “a King who cannot protect his vegetations is not qualified to be a king”.According to a record in Qing dynasty, the environmental protection ministry in early ancient China was called
27、“Yu”, standing both for the institution and the official title. Although mostfunctions were similar to such ministries today, the administration range of it was much larger, including the mountains, forests, rivers, lakes and so on.The nine ministries established by Shun, an ancient Chinese king, al
28、ready included “Yu”, the environmental protection ministry. The first “Yu” official was a man called Boyi, who was indeed an environmental protection expert. He was a capable assistant to Dayu, an ancient Chinese water-control expert. He invented wells, protecting peoples drinking water from polluti
29、on. He knew a lot about animals and also called for animal protection.Environmental protection laws dated back to the ruling period of Dayu, which was more than 4,000 years ago. During his rule, he issued a ban, forbidding people to cut down wood in March or catch fish in June, the time when they we
30、re supposed to boom.In Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period almost 3,000 years ago, “environmental protection laws” appeared in its true sense in Qin, which was recorded in Law of Fields and regarded as Chinas earliest “environmental protection laws”.12Which statement would Xunzi probably agr
31、ee with?AVegetations shouldnt be damaged at all.BMuch attention should be paid to peoples drinking water.CThe king who failed to protect the environment should be removed.DRuling a country and environmental protection should be combined.13What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?AT
