WASTE NOT, WANT NOT
In the 0. developed world, we all spend money on things we never use:
fitness equipment that 1. in the garage gathering dust, clothes that never
get 2., books that are left 3.. But the thing we waste
most of all – 4. edible, nutritious food.
In fact, it is estimated that up two billon tonnes of edible food is 5.
away every year. That’s half of the world’s food. The Food and Agriculture
Organisation (FAO) says that it 6. take US $30 billion to feed the 870
million people around the world who are chronically 7. - yet the
value of the food thrown away every year 8. to US $100 billion.
There is something grotesque in the thought that global 9. could
be avoided, if only we didn’t put so much food in the bin. And then there’s the
10. damage caused by all that food production – according to the
FAO, food waste produces 3.3 gigatonnes of CO2 equivalent, and is the third
11. emitter in China and the US.
Why all the waste? One reason is our consumer 12.: 20 to 40 per
cent of fruit and vegetables are rejected BEFORE they get into a supermarket – left to
rot in fields, or thrown away – because they don’t meet 13. standards
of the ‘cosmetically-perfect’ food that consumers expect. Food 14. is
another problem: overzealous sell-by and use-by dates encourage both
15. and consumers to ditch god food.

Last year I had a fight with my wife. She said that I was spending too much money on books. I realized that she was right, and promised that I would no longer do this anymore. However, when I went to work, I saw a very interesting book in the kiosk. I haven’t bought anything this week, "I thought," If I write on this book: "For participating in an amateur play," my wife will not say anything. "

- So you participated in the performance, - the wife was surprised, - Why did I not see you?

“I had a balcony for Romeo and Juliet on my shoulders,” I replied.

In the next book I wrote: "With love and best wishes, your loving uncle Ted."

- What kind of uncle? , asked his wife, - Why am I not acquainted with him?

“Poor dear uncle,” I replied, “He has been giving me books since I learned to read.” He has been living in London for twenty years, and he has never left because of his health.

Then various writers began to give me their books out of love and respect for me. Once I came home with a book that Zola gave me. The wife was standing in front of the mirror - she was wearing a new dress.

- Did you buy a dress? - I asked.

“No,” she replied, “your friend gave it to me.”

- What friend? - I shouted.

- The one who gave you so many books - Charles Dickins.

Now it became clear why lately we had such bad lunches.

Exercise 2

First aid is the help that you give someone quickly after they have hurt themselves or have had an accident. It can stop a person from becoming more ill. In some cases, it can even save a person’s life. Only someone who knows first aid well should try to treat an injured or sick person. Usually, you give first aid until a doctor or an ambulance arrives. Never try to give someone first aid unless you know what to do. The wrong actions can do more harm than good.

Immediate help

Sometimes you cannot wait until help arrives. You must begin helping a person at once, especially if the victim is bleeding strongly, has been poisoned or if breathing has stopped. Even if you wait for a short time this can be fatal. Here are some important rules for immediate help

- Do not move a person who may have a broken bone, internal injuries or an injured spine unless you really have to.

- If the victim is lying down, keep the person in that position. Do not allow them to walk or stand up.

- Never give food or liquid to a person who may need an operation.

- If the victim is unconscious, turn the head to one side to keep the person from choking. But do not move the head of a person who may have a spinal injury.

- Make sure that the victim has an open airway. The nose, mouth and throat should be clear in order for them to breathe.

- Remain calm and talk to the injured person. Explain what is being done and say that help is on its way.
