A
An average 30­year­ld persn wh has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten mre than 30，000 meals t date.Even if yu've nly eaten half that much yu have t admit this：yu've let sme f that breakfast, lunch r dinner g t waste.And it turns ut we're all t blame fr this shaming fact：30% f all fd prduced in the wrld each year is wasted r lst.That's abut 1.3 billin tns, accrding t a new reprt by the UN Fd and Agriculture Organizatin.
That's the weight f mre than 8.6 millin full­grwn blue whales, the largest creatures n earth.That's the weight f mre than 2.3 millin Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence.That's as if each persn in China, the wrld's mst ppulus cuntry with mre than 1.3 billin peple, had ne tn mass f fd thrwn int the dustbin.It's almst unfathmable, isn't it?
Setting aside that big number, we find the peple with the mst mney are the nes wh waste the mst.On average, a persn in Eurpean and Nrth American cuntries wastes between 95 and 115 kilgrams f fd.Sub­Saharan African, Suth Asian and Sutheast Asian cuntries waste much, much less — between 6 and 11 kilgrams per persn.
Here's anther statistic：all the fd that the wrld's richest cuntries waste is abut equal t all the fd that sub­Saharan Africa prduces.The number's：222 millin tns and 230 millin tns, respectively (分别地).Basically, the wasted fd f the rich culd feed much f the African cntinent.And these numbers cme as we've just been reprting abut rising fd prices arund the wrld in the past week.
And my wn persnal tip：if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask fr a dggie bag.I used t be a waiter years ag and will never frget the amunts f fd I saw left n the table after the bill was paid.There's n reasn t waste fd.It's up t all f us t use ur cmmn sense t eat and shp just a bit mre wisely.

1．选E 作者小时候经常会帮修理东西的父亲拿锤子，这是父女俩交谈的好机会。后来作者长大了，离开家，买了房子，父亲亲自帮女儿粉刷房子。根据后文所讲的作者那几天特别忙，没有时间和父亲交谈可知，此处是讲父亲希望女儿还能像小时候那样帮他拿着刷子，然后父女俩就能有机会说说话，故答案填E。
2．选B 父亲探望女儿时给外孙女搭了秋千，此时他最希望的是女儿能给他端杯茶，陪他好好说说话。根据空后所讲的作者那天没有时间陪父亲好好聊聊可知，作者那时忙着为周末外出做准备，所以没有时间，故答案填B。
