【題目】 For convenience(方便). plenty of people prefer having a takeaway(外賣)to cooking at home. Now there is an app through which people can enjoy delicious and cheap takeaway food.
Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover(剩余的)food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.
Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak (高峰期的) meal times.
"Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world," one creator of the app said. "The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year." By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.
Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.
Too Good To Go isn't the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange leftover food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell "ugly vegetables" that most customers don't buy to charities and food banks that need them.
根據(jù)上面短文的內(nèi)容問答問題(每小題答案不超過6個單詞).

【題目】 A new research has discovered that meditation(冥想)and oxygen sport together reduce depression(抑郁). The Rutgers University study found that this mind and body combination, done twice a week for only two months, reduced the symptoms of a group of students by 40 percent.
“We are excited by the findings because we saw such a meaningful improvement in both clinically depressed and non-depressed students, ”said lead author Dr. Brandon Alderman.“It is the first time that both of these two behavioral ways have been looked at together for dealing with depression.”
Researchers believe the two activities have an interactive(交互的)effect in combating depression. Alderman and Dr. Tracey Shors discovered that a combination of mental and physical training( MAP) enabled students with major depressive disorder not to let problems or negative thoughts defeat them.
Rutgers researchers say those who participated in the study began with 30 minutes of focused attention meditation followed by 30 minutes of oxygen sport. They were told that if their thoughts drifted to the past or the future they should refocus on their breathing, which enabled those with depression to accept moment-to-moment changes in attention.
Shors, who studies the production of new brain cells in the hippocampus-part of the brain involved in memory and learning-says scientists have shown in animal models that oxygen sport exercise keeps a large number of certain cells alive.
The idea for the human intervention(干預(yù))came from her laboratory studies, she says, with the main goal of helping individuals acquire new skills so that they can learn to recover from stressful life events.
By learning to focus their attention and exercise, people who are fighting depression can acquire new learning skills that can help them process information and reduce the overwhelming recollection of memories from the past, Shors says.
“We know these treatments can be practiced over a lifetime and that they will be affective in improving mental health, ”said Alderman.“The good news is that this intervention can be practiced by anyone at any time and at no cost.”
【1】What made the research so different?
A.Adopting a way of meaningful talk.B.Treating depression with special medicine.
C.Combining the two ways to reduce depression.D.Comparing the depressed with the non-depressed.
【2】The underlined word "combasting" in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A.fightingB.developingC.improvingD.examining
【3】What can we know about what the participants did in the research?
A.They did oxygen sport half an hour before thinking.B.They thought quietly and then took exercise.
C.They took exercise longer than they thought.D.They took exercise while thinking quietly.
【4】What is Shors' main purpose of her studies?
A.To find out certain brain cells of humans.B.To study the production of new brain cells.
C.To offer people a new method to reduce stress.D.To decide the links between stress and exercise.
