Up to two-fifths of a food crop is often wasted because it is “ugly”, a report on food waste has shown.
Produce grown in the UK that does not meet retailer(零售商) standards on appearance is often given to animals or thrown out even though it is healthy to eat.
The report from the UK’s global food security program also showed that the average household throws away more than 5kg of food a week, and nearly two-thirds of that waste is avoidable.
The waste costs ? 480 a year per household on average, and ? 680 per family.
Households throw away a fifth of the food they buy, wasting it for reasons ranging from cooking too much to not using it before it goes bad, the study showed.
Consumption is the top area where food is wasted in the UK, the study said.
Farmers respond to consumer demands for high-quality food with standards that can lead to the crop being wasted. Some supermarkets have started marketing “odd shapes and sizes” of fruit and vegetables, though.
Also, more UK consumers are prepared to accept “ugly” fruit and vegetables, amid concerns over sustainability(可持續(xù)發(fā)展) and food prices, the research said.
In developing countries, much of the loss of food occurs during post-harvesting storage, processing and packaging.
Tackling waste globally is necessary to feed a growing world population sustainably. One in eight people worldwide doesn’t have enough food, the report said.
Around a third of food produced globally is lost or wasted.
Professor Tim Benton, an expert on food security at the University of Leeds, said: “Over 5 million people in the UK live in poverty, where basic food provision is a daily challenge.”
Nearly 400,000 people used food banks last year, according to the Trussell Trust.
“At the same time, 15 million tons of food is wasted annually, with nearly half thrown away within UK households. Reducing the scale(范圍) of losses and waste throughout the food system is a crucial step.”
The report highlights priorities(優(yōu)先事項) for research to help reduce food waste, including improving harvesting and packaging technologies and seasonal weather prediction.
1. Food waste in developing nations is mainly due to .
A. fast growing populations
B. huge demand for high-quality foods
C. poor technology in food industries
D. people’s lack of concern about food shortages
2.We can conclude from the article that .
A. over half of the food produce in the UK is wasted within households
B. “ugly” fruits and vegetables are becoming more and more popular in the UK
C. avoiding food waste could, by itself, solve food shortage problems around the world
D. developing better farming and packaging technologies is key to reducing food waste
3.Which of the following statements might Professor Tim Benton agree with?
A. British farmers should keep up with their high growing standards.
B. The number of people living in poverty is growing too fast in Britain.
C. There is still much to do to improve British people’s awareness of food sustainability.
D. British supermarkets should be encouraged to sell food of odd shapes and sizes.
4.What is suggested in the report?
A. Cutting food prices.
B. Using different approaches to reduce food waste.
C. Improving the appearance of food.
D. Cooking at home more often.

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a ‘territory’ is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.
1.Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is actually________.
A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warning
C. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting
2.What does the underlined word “territory’’ mean?
A. A place where families of other species are not accepted
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice
C. An area for which birds fight against each other
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own
3.Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?
A. Because they want to invite more friends
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away
C. Because they want to find outsiders around
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears
4.How does the writer explain bird’s singing?
A. By comparing birds with human beings
B. By reporting experiment results
C. By describing birds’ daily life
D. By telling a bird’s story
