Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.

All the friends invited were a little   16  . It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never   17   more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something   18  for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dinning room where a   19   table was waiting for us. “Nothing but the   20   for my friends!” said Ben. We all sat down and looked  21   at each other—what did he   22   to?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a   23   of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,” said Ben. The next   24   was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just   25   mixture of vegetables.

As we ate we chatted and finally the   26   turned back to what we were eating. “Was there a recipe(食谱)for this,” asked Marina, “or did you   27   it up?” Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked   28what I could find.” Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s   29  choice in what you can find   30   supermarkets.” He replies.

31   that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually   32   away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of   33  , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.

So Ben had   34   provided a decent(不错的)meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to   35   millions of people.
