Chris works hard and performs many jobs around the farm. But Chris is not exactly like other farmers. What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.

Now, you may ask, is this possible? Like many other amazing people who have no arms or legs, Chris does not focus on what he can’t do, but rather on what he can do. And he can do a lot! He drives farm vehicles and looks after crops. Once you see Chris in action, you will think there is nothing he can’t do. Chris is a great example of a person who is making the most of his gifts. His positive attitude and courage make him a true inspiration.

The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. 【2】

Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. 【3】 And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “ always or often lonely ”, the Telegraph reported. This might be why the UK government announced the country’s first “ Minister（部長(zhǎng)）of Loneliness ” in January. 【4】 The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.

This loneliness problem may be partly because of social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies with us, we may compare their “ perfect ” lives with our own and feel even lonelier.

But we should remember that no one is sure to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “ 【5】 And every man is a piece of continent（陸地）, a part of the main. ”

　　▲ . When we have extra money, we save it in banks. This idea made people think. Could they set up “banks” for food? The world's first food bank started in the US in 1967. Many other countries, including China, have caught up with this great idea. For example, Shanghai has recently made a “share fridge”. It stores cakes and canned food donated（捐贈(zèng)） from nearby markets and restaurants. It's free for anyone to enjoy.

Pay as you feel. The Real Junk Food Project is a company in the UK. It says that food past its “sell-by” date could still be OK to eat. So they collect it from supermarkets, and put it on shelves in special cafes. There, the food has no price label（標(biāo)簽）. You can give as much money as you want. If you don’t want to spend money, you can help do some work there. There are now 125 Real Junk Food cafes worldwide. And the number is growing quickly.

Buy less. When there's no food bank around, what can we do to help stop food waste? In two words: Buy less. Dining halls in more than half of US colleges are going tray-less（無(wú)托盤(pán)）. It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference. It reduces food waste by 25 to 30 percent, and saves water and energy because there are no trays to wash.
