A Sol ution to Food Waste
Up to a third of food grown never makes it to our mout hs, and a pproximately 2.75
million tons of food is wasted in Taiwan every year. Conf using ex piration dates, oversized
portions, and a general dislike for “ugly” food have con tributed to this __42__ global
problem. Every time we go to a superma rket, we would check out th e ripeness of each
kiwi, inspec t every inch of apples, and put any misshape n vege t abl es a si de. B ut is it w ort h
it? Do we really have to be so concerned with our gr oceries’ appear ance? Th e first
supermarket th at __43__ sells sur p lus f ood s – th ose that are ugly in appeara nce or past
their expiration date – o pe ne d its do or s in Copenhagen, D enmark. The store, WeFood, is
givi ng “ugly” food a chance to shine. WeFood takes the food other supermarkets or
smaller grocery shops would have thrown away and sells it at a __44__ price. Their
purpose is to reach out to those shoppers who are concerned about the amount of food
waste produced in their society. While the food o n WeFood shelves may look a little l ess
appealing than the groceries people are accustomed to buying, i t is still just as edible. And

even if a product has an expiration date that’s just passed, it’s li kely sti ll safe for
consumption too. Tha t’s because “use-by” and “best-by” dates are usually just
manufacturer suggestions for peak quality days. But nearly half of customers
m isund ers ta nd t hes e __45__ a nd take them to show the last day that something is edible.
This leads to a lot of per fectly good food in the tra sh, and a lot of extra dollars spent in the
stores. Let’ s hoping that people will become a ware of the serious problem concerning food
waste and this food waste revolution will conti nue to spread.

Stephen Hawking – S cience’s Brightest Star
Professor Stephen Hawking was born on January 8th, 1942 in Oxford, England, and
died at the age of 76. As a world renowned British physicist, he sought to explain some of
the most complicated questions of life while suffering from motor neuron disease from the
age of 21. The focus of H awking’ s research was on explaining the creation of the uni verse
and how it is governed. He said: “My goal is simple. It is a complete understand ing of the
universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.” But the p ower of his intellect contrasted
cruelly with the weakness of his body. He was confined for most of his li fe to a wheelchair.
As his physical condition worsened, he had to speak through a voice synthe sizer an d
communicat e by m oving his eyebrows. But Hawking never gave up on his dreams. He
became internationally famous after publishing his book called A Brief History of Time in
1988. This book was on his recent discoveries about the universe, but written in a simple
and understandable manner for the general public. For the contrib utions he had made,
Stephen Hawking will spend eternity in the company of some other famous scientists like
Sir Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin in Westminster Abbey. Stephen Hawk ing will
forever be a great source of inspiration for many people. People will always rem ember
him for his ability to prevail, to go beyond boundaries and to bel ieve in himself.
