The goal is to help cut food waste. Users simply log in, pick a restaurant, pay through the app and then pick up their food at a set time— usually around closing or after peak meal times. Orders through the app cost between 2 British pounds ($) to British pounds (about $5). Users aren’t able to pick the food items, but they get an idea of the type of food that will be available, according to Business Green. Users also have the option to give meals to people in need by donating 1 British pound or more through the app. More than l, l00 meals have been donated so far. To ensure the entire experience is super ecofriendly. Too Good To Go provides recyclable takeout packaging to participating restaurants. Restaurants using the app make extra money by selling food what would otherwise have been throw away. And Too Good To Go itself makes money by taking a fee from participating restaurants on each sale. Founded in Denmark last year. Too Good To Go launched this year in the UK and is expanding to other countries. The app is available in Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds, and will be in London later this month. “Food waste just seems like one of the dumbest( 愚蠢 ) problems we have in this world,” co founder James Crummie told Business Green. “The restau rant industry is wasting about 600,000 tonnes of food each year, and in the UK alone there are one million people on emergency food parcels from food banks. Why do we have these two massive social issues that are pletely connected, yet there is not much going on to address them?” Too Good To Go has already helped cut a significant amount of waste. So far, the app has saved 600 meals from landfills in the UK, reports Business Green. 9. Why is the app introduced into UK according to the passage? A. To help users find proper restaurants.... B.

D D I used to believe courtesy(禮貌 ) was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modem era of the so called Generation X. Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being. I had gone to a happening coffee place, with two of my grown up daughters. The place was crowded with the usual loud crowd and we had to climb a sleep flight of stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we were at the steep descent down the stairs, where the narrow space made climbing down only possible in a single file, with hardly any space for another person to either climb up or e down. Just as I was in the middle of my descent, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man who will want to go up in a hurry. I kept ing down as fast as I could, holding on to the banister (欄桿 ), instead of my advanced years. My agile daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger strange started up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort. Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt had that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up. 13.
