9、h people established a secret alliance (同盟），known as the French Resistance.

16、d food has become a big issue in the world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of the world face food shortages and are starving. Its a shocking fact that a third of the worlds food is wasted each year, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supe
17、rmarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food. After all, they do desert stuff that is past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell fruits or vegetables that are in the wrong shape or look damaged. Theyve also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need
18、through promotions such as buy one and get one free. But the biggest culprit for creating food waste is us human beings. In Europe, an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up
19、landfill sites.In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to solve this problem.

24、ods.DDifferences in time zones complicate international phone calls. But even more important are different concepts of time and approaches to time in different cultures.People from the USA as well as other North Americans believe Time is money. This value of time is rooted in their ancestors. Early
25、in the 17th century, their ancestors arrived on the Atlantic coast, a new, undeveloped land. To survive in the tough environment, they had to struggle day and night. Time meant so much to them that they had not even one second to waste. After decades of struggle, they developed the value of efficien
26、t use of time and passed it down. Thus far, the Americans are still eager to finish things quickly and are impatient with too reflective (深思熟虑的）people. In some countries, the American work style of speeding everything up has no significance. In the Arab East, the more important you are, the faster s
27、ervice you get. Close relatives take absolute priority; non-relatives are kept waiting.

29、n polychronic cultures, people such as Arabs, Asians and Latin Americans take an entirely opposite approach. They do several things at once. Time commitments, such as deadlines, schedules, are taken rather casually and changed often and easily. Miscommunication will arise when people from the two cu
