In today 's world of mobile phones,most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these small machines are so common,will people stop wearing the 500-year-old watches? According to some people,yes. A teenager says it's unnecessary to wear a watch. Many young people agree—and use their mobile phones to tell time. Louis Galie,a president,said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago.

    However,watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s. By then,they want to spend money on a nice time-telling tool which doesn’t just keep a good time. For this reason,the watch industry has become an accessory business (配件業(yè)) in recent years.

   Today's offer a lot of uses that meet the need of almost any personality (個(gè)性) .They can be used as compasses (指南針) ，calendars,and even USB drivers."

    People are always trying their best to create new kinds of watches. A certain watchmaker business watches that don't even look like watches. Their popular model uses different color lights to tell the time. Another watchmaker business,makes a “handless” watch,using a ring of circles to keep time. This watch makes people talk a lot about modern watches.

     Whether a watch expresses fashion sense,creative ability or a love of sports,people want their time-telling tools to be beautiful,fashionable and practical. All in all,a watch has become more important than the time it tells.

三、任務(wù)型閱讀

        CCTV reported that every year Chinese people throw away a lot of food which can feed 200 million people for a year.

        Do we have too much food? Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program,there were about 900 million hungry people all over the world in 2013. About six million children die of hunger every year.

        So think about it. We should say no to people who waste food every day. An old saying goes ,“Every grain on the plate comes from hard work. ”It tells us everybody must save food.

        Luckily,a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Li Hong,a waitress in a restaurant in Jiangsu,once lost her job because she took some leftover (剩余的) food home for her son. But many people were by her side and criticized (批評) the waste of food.

        What should we do in our daily life to stop wasting food? We can do many things to prevent it from happening. Here are some tips：

        Don't order too much food in a restaurant. Only order as much as you can eat. If you can't eat all the food you order,take the rest of it home.

        Don't be too picky (挑剔的) about food. Some food may not be tasty,but our body needs it.

        Don't keep too much food at home,especially for fruit and vegetables.

1. How many hungry people were there all over the world in 2013?

                                           

2. Why did Li Hong lose her job?

                                           

3. What should you do if you can't eat all the food you ask for?

                                           

4. Can you keep too much food at home?

                                           

5. What's the main idea of the passage?
