October 16is World Food Day.The UN started the day in 1979.Itis used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger(饥饿).

Food shortage(匮乏)is a big problem around the world.Right now,there are more than 1billion(10亿)hungry people in the world.Many children go to sleep with hunger, and 15million of them die because of hunger each year.

There are several reasons why there are food shortages.First,therehave been more droughts(干旱) and floods(洪涝)recently.This,is badfor farmers and hurts their ability to grow food.Also,a growing population makes it more difficult to feed everyone.

If the wasted food was saved,it could feed lots of people.Theamount of food wasted in Europe could feed 200million people,and thefood wasted in Latin America(拉丁美洲)could feed 300million people.

As teenagers,we should think twice next time we want to throwaway extra(额外的)food on our own plate.By cutting down on foodwaste,we could also help put food on the empty plates of some hungrychildren.

How Can You Become a Successful Learner?

Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.

Creating an interest in what they learn

Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain(脑)is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. Good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. This way they will not get bored.

Practicing and learning from mistakes

Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, "Use it or lose it." Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless(除非)you use it. " Practice makes perfect." Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes.

Developing their study skills

It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words. They also look for ways to go over what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student.

Asking questions

Good learners often ask questions during or after class.They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.

Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.

62.According to the passage, what can make you become a successful learner?    

63.How can learners create an interest in what they learn?    

64.Why is it important to practice using what you've learned?    

65.What study skills does the writer talk about?
