On January 13, 2016, France became the first country in the world to pass a law requiring supermarkets to donate food that is approaching its expiration date (保质期) instead of throwing it away. The regulation that applies to supermarkets over 4,000 square feet requires stores to sign official donation agreements with local food banks.

The law also makes it illegal for stores to pour water over nearly-expired food, or store it inside locked warehouses until it is picked up by the garbage trucks. These measures are often undertaken by supermarkets to prevent the hungry from searching for food through the dustbins.

Though that may appear cruel, the stores claim they do it to avoid potential food poisoning that could occur if the product is on its way past its expiry. Those who do not obey the new law face the risk of heavy fines.

Also, excess goods like yogurt or milk that are likely to go bad quickly are now allowed to be donated directly to the food banks. Though this has always been possible, the current process is long and complex, making it difficult for producers to give away the food in a timely manner.

France’s food banks are of course thrilled about the possibility of receiving extra food. Jacques Bailet, who heads a network of French food banks called the Banques Alimentaires, says that of the 110,000 tons of goods received annually, only 36,000 tons comes from supermarkets. Bailet estimates (估计) that just a 15% increase in supermarket donations would translate to over 10 million additional meals to feed the hungry each year.

Though this is a great first step, Arash Dermabarsh, the activist responsible for the grassroots movement that led to the ban, is not done. He now wants to extend the law to other places like restaurants and also try to convince other countries in the European Union to pass similar regulations.

These steps are necessary because of the over 9 million tons of food wasted in France; an astonishing 67% is thrown away by consumers, with supermarkets and restaurants making up the rest. 12. What should stores do with nearly-expired food? A. Throw it away.

B. Send it to the hungry. D. Give it away to food banks.

C. Store it in refrigerators.

13. What does the underlined word “excess” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Extra.

B. Cheap.

C. Seasonal.

D. Returned.

14. What might Bailet agree with about the French food banks? A. They have a lot of expired food. B. They will get much benefit from the law. C. Their food is enough for the people in need. D. Their food mainly comes from supermarkets. 15. What does Dermabarsh plan to do? A. Build more food banks in France. B. Make the law take effect in more places. C. Organize a campaign to promote this law. D. Raise consumers awareness of waste reduction. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

We all have to make decisions all the time, and we have an abundance of choices, ranging from tiny issues to vital ones. Unfortunately, people often find it hard to make decisions. 16 If you would like to improve your skill of decision making, here are four suggestions for you.

Don’t expect to have it all.

_17 You can’t order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if” situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain. 18

It’s often good to think through your decisions. But don’t overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.

Don’t delay making decisions.

Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information. 19 Or it’s likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don’t wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.

Don’t be hard on yourself.

You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn’t expect a bug that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days. 20 But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes. A. Don’t spend too much time thinking. B. It is an important source of information. C. You may regret making such a stupid decision. D. Don’t count on emotion to make decisions. E. Maybe you wish to consult with your advisor.

F. Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities. G. That means the skill of good decision-making counts a lot.
