B. Read the following article about a food rescue mission. Then,
do the proposed exercises below.

When you hear the word hero, you may think of someone like
Mahatma Gandhi, who devoted his life working for his country’s
independence. But there are also many “everyday” heroes—they
may not create change on a global scale, but they do what they
can to help make a difference in people’s lives. Everyday heroes
are normal people who are passionate about making the world a
better place. One such person is Robert Lee.
Lee grew up in New York City. As his family was not rich, he
learned from a young age the importance of minimizing food
wastage. When he was in college, he was part of a student group
that delivered leftover food to homeless shelters. This experience
made him realize how serious the problem of food wastage
actually was.
After graduating from New York University, Lee and a college
friend created a nonprofit[1] organization called Rescuing Leftover
Cuisine. Its purpose is to collect unsold food from restaurants
and deliver it to homeless shelters and food kitchens. Volunteers
pick up food from restaurants around the city and distribute it to
those in need.
The process is simple. Using an app developed by Lee and his
team, restaurants report the amount of leftover food that they
have each day, and then volunteers sign up for delivery slots. The
delivery routes are usually short, so volunteers can deliver the
food they’ve collected simply by walking from the restaurants to
the shelters. Lee believes this is a very efficient method of
delivery.
To date, Lee and his team have successfully rescued over 150,000
kilograms of food, serving almost 300,000 meals to people who
need them. Lee has shown how we can take small actions to
improve the lives of people around us. A simple idea or action
may sometimes seem insignificant, but it may have an impact
greater than you can imagine. But Lee says that his work isn’t
over: “It’s just the beginning. The need is so great, and there’s
just so much demand. With more restaurants, who knows how
much more we can do.”

1. What is the main purpose of the passage?

a. To explain how Robert Lee got the idea for his organization.

b. To show an example of how regular people can make a

difference.

c. To explore the problem of food waste in restaurants and

households

2. How does Rescuing Leftover Cuisine work? Order the stages

from 1 to 6.

3 A volunteer agrees to take on the delivery job.

1 A restaurant is given an app that Lee’s team developed.

6 People in need receive food from the volunteer.

2 The restaurant reports how much food it has left at the end of
the day.

4_ The volunteer picks up unsold food from the restaurant.

5 The volunteer walks to a homeless shelter with the leftover food.
