Respect what you are eating

We all love food. But when you can’t finish your meal, how do you feel? You might think that wasting a little bit of food isn’t a big deal.

But when a whole school started to save food in their cafeteria（食堂）, there was a big change. At Hengyang No. 1 Middle School in Hunan Province, students are told to take no more food than they need. “There used to be 100 kg of food waste every day. But now, the amount（数量）of waste is down by 75 percent, ” the cafeteria’s manager told Hunan Evening Paper.

In China, people waste 35 million tons of food each year. That is enough to feed the whole country of South Korea for a year.

Food waste is a big problem around the world. According to the United Nations, there are 820 million people living in hunger（饥饿）today. But every year, the world waste 1. 3 billion tons of food. That’s one-third of all the food we have.

He found it strange that many French products in local shops were made in China. He wanted to buy a pair of sports shoes for his cousin, but he had to visit four or five shops before finding a pair made in France. He realized that Frenchmen can hardly avoid buying Chinese products. Wang Hao hopes that in the future China will also be good at making high-technology products for people all over the world to buy.

For passengers who need to change or return their tickets, they can change the tickets or get their fund（退款）through 12306. cn or the ticket office at the station.

Since 2011, passengers have been able to swipe their ID cards at self-service machines to take the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway and Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway.

At stations in some remote（偏远）areas, passengers still need a paper ticket to get on a train.
