Many hosts of such shows have become popular for their ability to eat large amounts of food.But these shows have also received criticism② for their waste of food.While some hosts actually do consume③ the amount of food shown，others may be faking④ it. On Aug 12，CCTV exposed⑤ several Chinese hosts who were pretending to eat large amounts of food while on camera，but actually later threw it away. To discourage⑥ this practice，many video and livestreaming platforms，including Douyin，Kuaishow and Bilibili，have removed videos that show food waste，and have promoted messages to “stop food waste and eat reasonably.” According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations，about a third of the world's food—1.3 billion tons—is wasted every year.In China alone，50 million tons of food ends up in landfills⑦ every year，according to Beijing News. Recently，campaigns against food waste have been further promoted.In August，President Xi Jinping stressed the need for safeguarding⑧ food security and stopping food waste. According to China Daily，restaurants and catering associations in more than 18 provinces and all 4 municipal cities have issued⑨ guidelines to control food waste. In addition，a nationwide “Clear Your Plate” campaign has been launched online.Users of Sina Weibo are encouraged to share photos or videos of empty plates after finishing their meals. Meanwhile，new laws are also being considered，according to China Daily.“We will make new laws that give clear instructions on avoiding food waste，” said Zhang Guilong from the legislative Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress.The instructions will be detailed⑩ in every year of food production，purchasing storage，transportation，processing and consumption，according to Zhang. 语篇导读： 近日来，全国各地多个餐饮烹饪协会发出倡议，直播平台纷纷表态，相关的立法工作也在积极开展，杜绝“舌尖上的浪费”，倡导国家文明新风尚，守卫国家粮食安全。 阅读助手： ①gain popularity受欢迎 ②criticism n．批评，批判 ③consume vt.吃 ④fake vt.伪造，假装 ⑤expose vt.揭露，揭发 ⑥discourage vt.使打消念头；劝阻，阻碍 ⑦landfill n．垃圾填埋场 ⑧safeguard vt.保护，维护 ⑨issue vt.发布，颁布 ⑩detail vt.详述，详细说明 Section Ⅰ　Welcome to the unit & Reading …………………………………………………………………………………◎ ①critical adj.批评的，批判性的；关键的；危急的 ②put out扑灭 ③trap vt.使落入险境；卡住，绊住n.陷阱，罗网；圈套；困境，牢笼 ④fear n．害怕，恐惧 ⑤release vt.发布，释放；松开；发泄n.释放；发行；排放，泄露 ⑥emergency n．突发情况，紧急事件 ⑦ambulance n．救护车 ⑧extend vi.& vt.延伸(距离)；扩大；延长；伸展 ⑨construction n．建筑，建造；建造物 ⑩break out (战争，火灾)爆发 ⑪estimate vt.估计，判断 ⑫minor adj.轻微的，次要的 minor injuries轻伤 ⑬scream vt.&vi.尖叫；高声喊；发出大而尖的声音 ⑭choke vt.&vi.(使)窒息；(使)哽咽，(尤指感情激动而)说不出话来 ⑮confirm vt.确定，确认；证实 ⑯start the fire引起火灾 ⑰automatic adj.自动的；无意识的，不假思索的 ⑱go off铃响；爆炸；(电器)停止运转；对……失去兴趣 ⑲investigate vt.& vi.侦查，调查；研究 ⑳contradictory adj.相互矛盾的，对立的 come about发生 priority n．优先事项，首要事情；优先权，重点 comprehensive adj.全面的，综合的 perspective n．角度 contradict vt.相矛盾，相反；反驳，驳斥 contradict each other相互矛盾 in terms of就……而言 differ vi.相异；意见相左 conclusion n．结论，推论；结束，结果；签订，达成 rush to the conclusion急于下结论 stage n．阶段 bring...to light揭露 minimum n．最小值，最少量adj.最低的，最小的 maximum n．最大量，最大限度adj.最高的，最多的 informed adj.有根据的，可靠的 to sum up总结，总之 accurate adj.正确无误的；精确的 blindly adv.盲目地 blindly trust盲目相信 committed adj.尽心尽力的 be committed to致力于 discrimination n．辨别力，识别力；歧视，区别对待 ◎………………………………………………………………………………… Be a critical① news reader! Firefighters put out② tower block fire Firefighters quickly put out the Henderson Tower fire last night.The fire，which is thought to have started from the 8th floor，【1】 spread quickly through the tower block on Sunday night，leaving people on the upper floors trapped③.【2】 Fears④ grew that the number of deaths could reach 5，according to figures released⑤ by emergency⑥ services.Fire engines and ambulances⑦，called at 9：30 p．m.，reached the scene within 15 minutes.By this time，the fire had extended⑧ to the 15th floor.Firefighters got the situation under control around 11 p．m.There is concern that the construction⑨ company that built the tower block had not followed fire safety rules. 【1】which引导非限性定语从句，修饰先行词the fire。 【2】动词­ing形式短语作结果状语。 Deadly fire in tower block causes serious damage A terrible fire broke out⑩ on Sunday night，leaving the Henderson Tower seriously damaged.Emergency services estimate⑪ that the number of deaths could reach 9.By this morning，4 people have been confirmed dead.The fire has also left dozens of people injured，5 of whom are in a critical condition【3】．Lisa Mayer，29，is among the lucky ones who only suffered minor injuries⑫.She recalled，“I was about to have a bath when I heard people screaming⑬ and dogs barking.【4】 I looked outside and the smoke was choking⑭ me.It was like an awful dream.” 【3】介词＋关系代词引导定语从句，修饰先行词people。 【4】be about to do sth...when正要做某事，这时…… Mr Peterson，head of the fire service，confirms⑮ that a dropped cigarette end on a carpet of the 8th floor started the fire⑯ and that the automatic⑰ fire alarms did not go off⑱ quickly enough to prevent the disaster.【5】 A team is currently investigating⑲ the accident further. Reading news reports critically We rely on news to learn about what is happening in the world around us【6】．However，we usually find that reports on the same events contain different or even contradictory⑳ information.How do these differences come about? 【6】what引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。 It is advisable to remember that journalists may have different priorities，which would influence how they report an event.【7】 Let's take the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire as an example.We can see that the first news report pays more attention to the rescue efforts，while the second talks more about deaths and injuries．【8】 When we read more than one report，we come to understand an event in a more comprehensive way. 【7】that引导主语从句；which引导定语从句，修饰先行词priorities。 【8】while连接并列句，while意为“然而，但是”。 Even if news reports are written from basically the same perspective，they may contradict each other in terms of factual details，as events in the real world are usually complicated and constantly changing.【9】For instance，the numbers of deaths differ in the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire.When we come across such factual differences，we should not rush to the conclusion that one of the news reports gives false information【10】．Instead，check when the reports were written.News reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as new facts are brought to light【11】．Another aspect worthy of mention is that journalists may approach information they get from research or interviews differently.Suppose emergency services' estimates of the number of deaths vary between 5 and 9.Journalists may choose to present the minimum，the maximum or something in between in their news reports.Therefore，checking different sources enables us to draw a more informed conclusion. 【9】even if引导让步状语从句；as引导原因状语从句，as意为“因为，由于”。 【10】that引导同位语从句，补充说明conclusion的具体内容。 【11】as引导时间状语从句，as意为“随着”。 To sum up，it is wise to read news reports written from various perspectives and at different stages【12】，which brings us a more accurate understanding of a situation.We also need to be critical about the information we receive and remember not to blindly trust what we have read.Though journalists are committed to presenting the truth，it is better to use our own judgement than rely entirely on news reports.With great discriminationB38，every one of us has the potential to be a critical news reader. 做一个有判断力的阅读者！ 消防员扑灭高楼大火 昨晚消防员迅速扑灭了亨德森大楼的大火。周日晚上的这场火灾被认为起于9楼，并迅速蔓延至整栋大楼，导致上面楼层中的人被困。根据应急服务机构公布的数据，人们更加担心死亡人数可能达到5人。昨晚9点30分，消防车和救护车接到呼叫，并于15分钟内赶到火灾现场。此时火势已蔓延至十五楼。晚上11点左右，消防员控制住了火势。有人担心建造这栋高楼的建筑公司没有遵守消防安全规范。 高楼致命大火造成严重损失 周日晚间突发一场可怕的大火，致使亨德森大楼严重受损。应急服务机构估计死亡人数可能达到9人。 截至今天上午，已有 4 人确认死亡。大火还造成许多人受伤，其中5人伤势严重。29岁的莉萨·迈耶是只受了轻伤的幸运人士之一。她回忆说：“我正要洗澡，就听到有人尖叫，还有狗在叫。我向外看，却被浓烟呛住。这就像一场可怕的梦。” 消防队队长彼得森先生证实，一个掉在九楼一块地毯上的烟头引起了火灾，而自动火警报警器没有及时 报警，因而导致了灾难的发生。调查组目前正在进一步调查这起事故。 批判性地阅读新闻报道 我们依赖新闻来了解周围的世界正在发生什么事情。然而，我们经常发现，对同一事件的不同报道 往往包含不同甚至互相矛盾的信息。这些差异是如何产生的？ 明智的做法是记住记者眼中的首要事项可能会有所不同，这会影响他们如何报道一则事件。让我们以这两篇有关亨德森大楼火灾的新闻报道为例。我们可以看到，第一篇新闻报道更关注救援工作，而第二篇谈论更多的则是伤亡情况。当我们读到不止一篇报道时，我们就能更全面地了解一起事件。 即使新闻报道的撰写角度基本相同，它们也可能在事实性的细节上相互矛盾，因为现实世界中的事件通常是复杂且不断变化的。例如，在两篇有关亨德森大楼火灾的新闻报道中，死亡人数截然不同。当我们发现这些事实性差异时，不应急于下结论，认为其中一篇新闻报道提供了错误信息。相反，要核查这些报道的撰写时间。随着新的事实被披露，在一起事件的不同阶段撰写的新闻报道可能包含不同的信息。另一个值得一提的方面是，记者可能会以不同的方式处理他们从调查或采访中获得的信息。假设应急服务机构估计的死亡人数在5人到9人之间，记者可能会选择在他们的新闻报道中呈现数据的最小值、最大值或中间的某个数值。因此，核实信息的不同来源能够让我们得出更有根据的结论。 总之，阅读从不同角度、不同阶段写就的新闻报道是明智之举，这样可以让我们更准确地了解情况。我们也需要批判性地看待我们接收到的信息，并且记住不要盲目相信我们读到的新闻报道。尽管记者致力于呈现真相，我们最好还是运用自己的判断力，而非完全依赖新闻报道。有了明辨是非的能力，我们每个人都有潜力成为一名有判断力的新闻读者。 第一步　文本整体理解：理清文章架构 1．What's the main idea of this passage?
