Meanwhile, David was in the farmyard, feeding the chicken． He saw his little sister on the swing and the bull heading straight for his sister． Without a second thought, David screamed as loudly as he could, “Look out behind you! Get out of there!”

23、Single - use plastic waste is a huge problem, worsened these days by the fact that people cannot go out to many places to eat and have to order takeout. It’s been really hard on those companies that were trying to do something about the waste. Now, many businesses in New York have signed up with a new operation, DeliverZero.

New Yorkers do order a lot of takeout and don’t want to stop doing that since they are too busy to cook on their own. However, takeout consumes countless containers. And the containers — used once and for mere seconds — usually sit in landfills as far as 400 miles away from NYC.

But with DeliverZero, you get your order in reusable containers. There is no deposits (押金); you just return them to the delivery person the next time you order, or you drop them off at any of the restaurants on the platform.

When asked why DeliverZero doesn’t call for deposits, founder Adam Farbiarz explained, “When we started, we were collecting deposits. But that made everyone’s head spin because they had to choose how many containers they needed. It became complex to collect deposits while giving the restaurant the flexibility to pack the food. So now we just let the restaurant use containers as they want. After the restaurant packs the food, the customer gets an email that says, ‘You’re getting X containers with your meal.’ If the customer doesn’t return the containers within 6 weeks, we charge them. And the system works! Restaurants have no problem counting the containers, and customers appreciate that the restaurant has the freedom to use containers in a manner that best packages the food.”

DeliverZero shows that takeout doesn’t have to be related to single - use packaging. It is just starting out and is only in New York for now, but the founder said, “We have plans to march into other cities as quickly as we can. We are hoping to make a contribution to going zero waste and building a truly circular food delivery system.”

【1】What problem does takeout usually cause according to the text?

A．Higher cost for many restaurants.

B．Poorer health of most customers.

C．Increasing single use plastic waste.

D．Fewer food choices for New Yorkers.

【2】Why did DeliverZero stop collecting deposits for containers?

A．To test if its monitoring system works.

B．To simplify the whole operation process.

C．To relieve businesses’ financial pressure.

D．To help consumers develop a good habit.

【3】What does Adam Farbiarz say about DeliverZero?

A．It will be expanded.

B．It is facing many barriers.

C．It needs to improve its technology.

D．It has won recognition worldwide.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A platform allowing ordering food in reusable containers.

B．A concept of building a truly circular food delivery system.

C．A new operation based on deposit - free single - use packaging.

D．A system making food delivery more convenient and simpler.

24、   Abdul, 54-year-old man, has been working as a living statue for over three decades, standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting people’s attempts to make him move or smile, anything that proves he is a living person.

Known as “India’s Statue Man,” he has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he felt like doing something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly motionless for around four hours. They weren’t allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, so he got the strange job.

Abdul isn’t the only person in the world acting as a living statue but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a celebrity in India and other Asian countries. Many Bollywood celebrities have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none has succeeded.

Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps. It’s just too stressful and taxing on the body. “Despite all the hardships and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me.” he says. “When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue.”

【1】What is Abdul’s daily routine?

A．Performing as a living statue.

B．Proving to be a living person.

C．Smiling at his customers.

D．Keeping his body in shape.

【2】Why could Abdul get the strange job given by his boss?

A．He had his special ambition.

B．He was most familiar with the job.

C．He stood out among the group.

D．He knew the boss more than others.

【3】How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?

A．It’s overpaid.

B．It’s satisfying.

C．It’s encouraging.

D．It’s instructive.
