When a grup f cllege students put their srrws int actin, they never imagined the prject wuld fuel a natinwide mvement t help deal with-hunger and cntrl n fd waste.
But that’s exactly what the Farmlink Prject has dne since 2020, bringing tgether hundreds f yung vlunteers t rescue nearly 77 millin punds f excess fd and deliver it t thse in need. The rganizatin’s effrts help farmers, the envirnment, and peple struggling t feed their families all at nce.
“In the United States, 40 millin Americans dn’t have enugh fd t eat. They dn’t knw where their next meal is ging t cme frm,” said Aidan Reilly, wh c-funded Farmlink. “Meanwhile, in the United States, were thrwing ut ver 100 billin punds f fd every year.”
Back in 2020, Reilly and his childhd fiend James Kanff were reading and watching news abut fd shrtages, and they learned that area farms were frced t destry excess prduce that they culdn’t sell, especially with restaurants, schls and htels clsed. Reilly, Kanff and a cre grup f friends wrked tgether ver Zm, texted and e-mailed t cntact farms cast t cast “We didn’t really set ut t start a nnprfit,” Reilly said. “We just thught, there’re s many peple suffering if we can figure ut ne way t help, then that’ll be great.”
In Califrnia, they fund a farmer wh had 13, 000 eggs that culd be dnated, and Reilly ffered t d the pickup and delivery himself. That was the first f many mre deliveries. With “well cme t yu” as their catchphrase(标语), the grup rented U-Haul trucks and attempted t d all the fd pickup and deliveries themselves.
“We had a lt f small prblems in the beginning,” Reilly said. ”We brke axles (车轴), laded in 40. 000 punds f ptates in a wrng way and had t try t drag them ut by using anther truck and a rpe. But we made it wrk.
“Farmlink has wrked with mre than 100 farms and 300 cmmunities in the US rescuing and mving enugh fd t distribute mre than 64 millin meals,” Reilly said.

It’s well-knwn that humr can benefit us bth physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been arund since ancient times. In his 1905 bk, Jkes and Their Relatin t the Uncnscius, Sigmund Freud argued that humr is the highest f the psyche’s defense mechanism (机制), capable f turning anxiety int pleasure.
There are fur humr styles. Affiliative humr refers t jkes abut things that might be cmmnly cnsidered funny, which is usually emplyed t imprve relatinships r make thers laugh. If yu’ve ever shared a funny picture with a cwrker, yu’ve used affiliative humr. Self-enhancing humr invlves being able t laugh at yurself, ften used as a way fr yu t deal with stress r difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humr is laughing at the expense f thers, which ften invlves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humr is the art f putting yurself dwn t gain favr frm yur peers, which is pssibly used by smene wh’s targeted by bullies.
Each style f humr actually carries a different influence, when it cmes t mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychlgical researcher at The University f Western Ontari, says peple using self-enhancing humr are less likely t shw signs f lneliness and pr relatinships with thers. By cntrast, bth aggressive and self-defeating humr styles can hint at truble. “We find that self-defeating humr is the mst cncerning style as it is als linked with lneliness and feelings f nt mattering. Thse with an aggressive humr style may nt experience lneliness as much, hwever, since they rely n grup dynamics (群体动力) in rder t make fun f their peers,” says Schermer.
Even if yu tend t favr mre negative humr styles, there’s n reasn t lse heart. Schermer says peple can develp a psitive, self-enhancing humr style by cncentrating n the lighter and mre humrus aspects f life. As authr Kurt Vnnegut nce wrte, “Laughter and tears are bth respnses t wrries and anxieties. I prefer t laugh, since there is less cleaning up t d afterward.”
12. Why is Sigmund Freud’s bk mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T shw the imprtance f mental health.B. T stress the rle f humr.
C. T persuade peple t stay psitive.D. T intrduce ancient jkes t us.
13. Accrding t the text, which kind f humr may yu use t relieve pressure?
A. Affiliative humr.B. Self-enhancing humr.
C Aggressive humr.D. Self-defeating humr.
14. What des the underlined phrase “hint at” prbably mean in the third paragraph?
A. Signal.B. Explain.C. Prevent.D. Slve.
15. Which f the fllwing will Kurt Vnnegut prbably agree with?
A. Humr is difficult t cntrl.B. Crying is a gd way f relief.
C. Humr is a duble-edged swrd.D. Laughter is the best cure fr stress.

I didn’t tell my mther what had happened when I went hme after schl that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead f suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted t take a walk in the garden.
It was May and rses were blssming and, under the trees, we culd als see yellw dandelins (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted ur garden with red, yellw and green.

“But I like dandelins,” I prtested, “All flwers are beautiful-even dandelins.” “Yes, every flwer is beautiful in its wn way, isn’t it?” she asked thughtfully. I ndded, pleased that I had wn her ver. “And that is true f peple t,” she added. “Nt everyne can be a princess, but there is n shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started t cry as I tld her what had happened.

“In the United States, 40 millin Americans dn’t have enugh fd t eat. They dn’t knw where their next meal is ging t cme frm,” said Aidan Reilly, wh c-funded Farmlink. “Meanwhile, in the United States, were thrwing ut ver 100 billin punds f fd every year.”
Back in 2020, Reilly and his childhd fiend James Kanff were reading and watching news abut fd shrtages, and they learned that area farms were frced t destry excess prduce that they culdn’t sell, especially with restaurants, schls and htels clsed.

In Califrnia, they fund a farmer wh had 13, 000 eggs that culd be dnated, and Reilly ffered t d the pickup and delivery himself. That was the first f many mre deliveries. With “well cme t yu” as their catchphrase(标语), the grup rented U-Haul trucks and attempted t d all the fd pickup and deliveries themselves.
“We had a lt f small prblems in the beginning,” Reilly said. ”We brke axles (车轴), laded in 40. 000 punds f ptates in a wrng way and had t try t drag them ut by using anther truck and a rpe. But we made it wrk.
“Farmlink has wrked with mre than 100 farms and 300 cmmunities in the US rescuing and mving enugh fd t distribute mre than 64 millin meals,” Reilly said.

It’s well-knwn that humr can benefit us bth physically and mentally. The idea that laughter is the best medicine has been arund since ancient times. In his 1905 bk, Jkes and Their Relatin t the Uncnscius, Sigmund Freud argued that humr is the highest f the psyche’s defense mechanism (机制), capable f turning anxiety int pleasure.
There are fur humr styles. Affiliative humr refers t jkes abut things that might be cmmnly cnsidered funny, which is usually emplyed t imprve relatinships r make thers laugh. If yu’ve ever shared a funny picture with a cwrker, yu’ve used affiliative humr. Self-enhancing humr invlves being able t laugh at yurself, ften used as a way fr yu t deal with stress r difficulties and feel better as a result. Aggressive humr is laughing at the expense f thers, which ften invlves sarcasm (讽刺), teasing, and criticism. Self-defeating humr is the art f putting yurself dwn t gain favr frm yur peers, which is pssibly used by smene wh’s targeted by bullies.
Each style f humr actually carries a different influence, when it cmes t mental health. Julie Aitken Schermer, a psychlgical researcher at The University f Western Ontari, says peple using self-enhancing humr are less likely t shw signs f lneliness and pr relatinships with thers. By cntrast, bth aggressive and self-defeating humr styles can hint at truble. “We find that self-defeating humr is the mst cncerning style as it is als linked with lneliness and feelings f nt mattering. Thse with an aggressive humr style may nt experience lneliness as much, hwever, since they rely n grup dynamics (群体动力) in rder t make fun f their peers,” says Schermer.
Even if yu tend t favr mre negative humr styles, there’s n reasn t lse heart. Schermer says peple can develp a psitive, self-enhancing humr style by cncentrating n the lighter and mre humrus aspects f life. As authr Kurt Vnnegut nce wrte, “Laughter and tears are bth respnses t wrries and anxieties. I prefer t laugh, since there is less cleaning up t d afterward.”
12. Why is Sigmund Freud’s bk mentined in Paragraph 1?
A. T shw the imprtance f mental health.B. T stress the rle f humr.
C. T persuade peple t stay psitive.D. T intrduce ancient jkes t us.
13. Accrding t the text, which kind f humr may yu use t relieve pressure?
A. Affiliative humr.B. Self-enhancing humr.
C Aggressive humr.D. Self-defeating humr.
14. What des the underlined phrase “hint at” prbably mean in the third paragraph?
A. Signal.B. Explain.C. Prevent.D. Slve.
15. Which f the fllwing will Kurt Vnnegut prbably agree with?
A. Humr is difficult t cntrl.B. Crying is a gd way f relief.
C. Humr is a duble-edged swrd.D. Laughter is the best cure fr stress.

I didn’t tell my mther what had happened when I went hme after schl that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead f suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted t take a walk in the garden.
It was May and rses were blssming and, under the trees, we culd als see yellw dandelins (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted ur garden with red, yellw and green.

“But I like dandelins,” I prtested, “All flwers are beautiful-even dandelins.” “Yes, every flwer is beautiful in its wn way, isn’t it?” she asked thughtfully. I ndded, pleased that I had wn her ver. “And that is true f peple t,” she added. “Nt everyne can be a princess, but there is n shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started t cry as I tld her what had happened.
