According to a research，more than 130 billion pounds of uneaten food go to waste in Laura's country each year.That is about 30% of the yearly food supply（供应）.It is a sad fact，especially when you consider how many families and homeless people are in hunger. When Laura saw her school dining hall throw away food that was not eaten at all every day，she came up with an idea.She started a project to help her school dining hall to give away uneaten food to homeless shelters （庇护所） in her community.In the past three years，the same project has spread to other schools and some fast food restaurants throughout the city.The project is called Feed & Find，and has already fed thousands of people in her city. How does it work？Through an app，Feed & Find matches local homeless shelters with school dining halls and restaurants that have uneaten food to provide.When dining halls or restaurants have uneaten food left，they can use the app to share the information about the food.A truck driver working for the project is then sent to pick it up and take it to a shelter. Pretty cool，right？It's not surprising that people in other cities have got in touch with Laura，hoping that she could help develop similar projects for their communities. Some people，however，have concerns about the safety of the uneaten food.They think such food may not be clean enough.Still，this project is a clever way to help solve the problem，of food waste and it helps those in need.（1）The numbers in Paragraph One tell us ____ .A.some people are poorB.food waste is seriousC.the population is largeD.the research is interesting（2）People in other cities would like Laura to ____ .A.find a truck driverB.visit their communitiesC.give away food to themD.help develop projects like hers（3）The underlined word "concerns" in this passage means ____ .A.waysB.secretsC.worriesD.decisions
