B In a class discussion not long ago, I asked my students the following question, “ How long could you feel fortable and right without food?” One student quickly answered, “ About two hours.” The answer is true. For most of us, we begin to feel hungry in a few hours after each meal. We can’ t imagine starting our day by waking up hungry, going all day without food and going to bed with even greater hunger. The statistics (數(shù)據(jù) ) on hunger in the United States are much surprising to all of us. According to Feeding America, “ 50,000,000 Americans don’t know where their next meal is ing from. That’ s the number in one of the wealthiest nations on the pla. And one in four of these 50,000,000 people are children.” No Kid Hungry surveyed more than 1,000 teachers and principals around the country and found that 73 percent of teachers said they regularly teach hungry students who don’ t have enough food to eat at home, and 87 percent of principals said they often see hungry students in school. As a result of so many hungry students, teachers spend nearly $40 a month buying food for kids with their own money. This is the time of the year when children do not have the benefit (好處 ) of school lunch programs. Here are some ways we can do to help change this situation: First, we can give money to the local food bank. Next, we can donate food in our local area. Third, we can volunteer our time at a local food bank. So, on our next visit to the grocery store, add an extra food idem that can be donated to a food bank. Don’ t wait to make a difference in a child’ s life. 28. Which of the following is true? A. Many Americans don’ t have eno
