Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation – and not just with homework. Qi and 10 other classmates made a volunteer（志愿者） group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盘行动”).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million（百万） people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began in January, 2013. It calls on people to reduce（减少，降低） food waste.（浪费）
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous（大方的）. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support （支持）of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner give the guests（顾客）who have eaten all the food a sticker (贴花). People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer (提供) smaller dishes and encourage (鼓励) their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.
To reduce food waste is a big task(任务), and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit（尽自己的一份力量）, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the US. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfasts.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, egg, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight(减轻体重).This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight (增加体重 )instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.During the test, the people were given __________.

| A．增加 | B．减少 | C．放弃 | D．享用 |
