Many hosts of such shows become popular for their ability to eat large amounts of food. However, these shows have also received criticism for
16、 their waste of food. While some hosts actually do consume the amount of food shown, others may be faking it. On Aug 12, CCTV exposed several Chinese hosts who were eating large amounts of food while on camera, but actually later threw it away. To discourage this practice, many video and live stream
17、ing platforms, including Douyin, Kuaishou and Bilibili, have removed videos that show food waste, and have promoted messages to “avoid food waste and eat reasonably”. In June 2020, the United Nations warned that the world is on the verge of the worst food crisis in 50 years. According to the Food an
18、d Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, about a third of the worlds food1.3 billion tonsis wasted every year. In China alone, 50 million tons of food ends up in landfills every year, according to Beijing News. Recently, campaigns against food waste have been further promoted. In August, Pr

For example, a group of 10 diners should only order enough for nine people at first. More food is only brought to the table if required. In addition, a nationwide “Clear Y

Despite the c
25、urrent amount of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere and the incompetence of the planet to support Earthly life forms, research has suggested that the planet was once able to host ecosystems. Since the beginning of the 1960s, over 40 Mars exploration missions have been carried out. On July 23, China la
26、unched Tianwen 1, a Mars probe named after a poem titled The Quest for Heavenly Truth by ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC). The mission marked Chinas first step in planetary exploration of the solar system. It will take Tianwen 1 six to seven months to reach the Red Planet. The probe i
27、s expected to land on Mars around February 2021. Yet the landing process might not be easy. NASA scientists once referred to a Mars landing as “the seven minutes of terror”. During those suspenseful 420 seconds, the Tianwen 1 has to slow down from 4.8 kilometers per second to zero and land on the Re
28、d Planet autonomously.Among the more than 40 Mars missions, only nine have been able to survive “the seven minutes of terror,” Cui Xiaofeng from the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center said at a news conference. To prepare for the landing, Tianwen 1 will spend two to three months surveying poten
29、tial landing sites using a high-resolution (高分辨率的) camera. If the probe successfully lands, a rover with an expected lifespan of at least 90 Martian days(about three months on Earth) will be released to conduct scientific exploration. During this process, “the geological structure, soil characterist
30、ics, distribution of groundwater, the climate and environment on the Red Planet will all be studied,” Liu Tongjie, spokesperson of Chinas first Mars mission and deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center, told CGTN.12What does the word “incompetence” underlined in paragraph 1

34、le get that way by becoming the best, most genuine version of themselves they can be. Not on the outside on the inside. Its not about a brand, a reputation, a persona (外表形象) . 16 Who you really are!Sounds simple, I know. It is a simple concept. 17 If you want to do great work, it can take a lifetime
35、 to figure it out. And its going to take a lot of hard work to do it. You are going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some chances that will scare you. 18 But you know, I cant think of a better way to spend your life.

Thats what Steve Jobs meant when he said this at a Stanford University graduation speech: Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. 19 You have to trust in something your gut (直觉) , destiny, life, whatever. This approa
37、ch has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life. Not only that, but what Jobs talking about, what Im talking about, requires focus and discipline, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Why? 20 Its so much easier to give in to distraction and instant pleasure. I

39、rown out your own inner voice.二、完形填空Success can mean different things for different people. For some, success may be a large 21 and a nice car. For 22 , it may be a well-fed and happy family. For college students, it means getting good 23 or passing grades in order to 24 a degree.And there lies a sl
40、ight 25 with some college students. The way in which they 26 success may not always be that they 27 it. Success 28 hard work, and most importantly, honesty. Some students 29 to simply gain success. In 2013, news of the largest cheating scandal (丑闻) at Harvard University was 30 . It is said that the
41、whole class had a minimum of 250 students and possible cheating was discovered in roughly half the take-home exams. The consequences for those found 31 could range from a warning to a 32 withdrawal from the university for a year. And some of the students in the course were seniors, so the latter con
42、sequence could also mean giving back their degree and maybe even losing the jobs acquired after 33 . Although such consequence may have a very 34 and possibly life changing impact on some students lives, I believe it is entirely necessary to 35 that academic integrity (诚实正直) is a respected and neces
43、sary 36 for academic success. Harvard University is 37 thought of as the top of higher education, whose highest standards wont 38 cheating. So take pride when you make the 39 to do your best and honest work. Success achieved in that way is great, and success achieved 40 is the only success you can t
