15．　　October 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It is used to remind people not to waste food and to ask people to fight hunger (饥饿).
　　A big number of people in the world still don' t have enough food to eat. Food shortage (匮乏) is a big problem in the world. Right now, there are more than 1 , 000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungrily and about 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
　　There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First, there have been more droughts (干旱) and floods recently. Also, a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.
　　Another big reason is food waste. Most people don't realize how much food they throw every day. On average (平均) , a person throws away 50 kilos of food every year. According to the UN, more than one third of all food produced in the world goes to waste each year. That is over 1 , 300, 000 million kilos of food being wasted. The amount (数量) of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.
　　So think twice next time you want to throw away food. If you try to avoid wasting food, you could save some food and help hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can't eat all you order, take the rest home. Don't be too picky about food so that you don't leave any on your plate. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy or cook too much.

16．　　As a proverb says, " Your tongue has the power of life and death. "This means that your words have power to finally cause things to happen, even life or death.
　　We may experience the power of words in our life, even when we were very young. A child is blamed (责备) by teachers or parents, and after that, he might think himself as a bad child. Most kids have that experience. They say it is important to praise children four times for each negative (负面的) word. Blaming will make things worse , while positive words are helpful especially when being in trouble or in need, When we fail the exam, encouraging words from our teachers or parents make us work harder at our lessons.
　　Encouraging words can go quite a long way. They lift people up. For example, encouraging words to someone who is sad can help them make it through the day. Words can have a powerful effect on your brain. And it will in turn (相应地) have a great influence on your action.
　　Everything you do depends on what you choose to do. It' s not your parents, your past relationships or your job, but you and only you that are responsible for every goal you set. If you have dreams in life, write them down and speak them out. Your words are likely to bring out something amazing.
