Do you eat meat? Well, if you do, then you might find our next news interesting. A study says that the world has a 33 need for meat. In 1960, the world ate 64 million tonnes of meat, about 21 kg for each person. In 2007, the number rose to 268 million tonnes, about 40 kg for each person. At the same time, 34 . In the 1960s, beef was high on the menu. Of the meat that was eaten, 40% was beef. In 2007, pork became the star. Poultry also became popular, going up from 12% to 32%, thanks to people’s worries about their health these years. And 35 ? You’re guessing the U.S.A., right? The answer is Luxembourg! In 2007, each Luxembourger ate about 137 kg of meat! Second to Luxembourgers are Americans. In 2007, each American ate about 126 kg! Now, enough with the numbers. I’m playing you a song called Currywurst. The singer sings about his love for the meat dish of the same name. Enjoy!

✓（D）which country uses up the most meat for each person
My dear friends,
My family and I moved into our country house one month ago. The kids are planning to give a party at our new house. I hope all of you can come. The party will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. There will be lots of food and drinks.
Together with this letter is a map to our house. After you get off the train, take the road in front of the station. Follow it and you’ll see a chicken farm. Don’t make any turns. Keep going and you’ll see a bridge. Cross the bridge and there will be a big tree on your left. Walk past the tree, take the first right turn, and then walk for five more minutes. You’ll see several houses. My house is at the end of the road, next to the river.

Cecilia: Eddie’s having a tasting party this Saturday.

Cecilia: If you hate it so much, you can just tell him.
Gloria: Why do I always have to be the bad person? Remember when I woke him up from his dream of making clothes? There was a lot of crying, and he wouldn’t talk to me for a month. You do it this time.
Cecilia: I can’t. How am I going to face him in our dancing classes if I tell him?
Gloria: So we still have to lie at his party again?
Cecilia: I’m afraid so.

Below is what Josie wrote in her notebook.
Dec. 15
A very sad day. A school bus was hit by a truck. Many kids were badly hurt. A little boy lost his life. His mom was the kids’ teacher. We couldn’t bring her back, either.
Dec. 22
Lonnie said she’ll wear all white to the Christmas party. I said she’s lost her mind. We wear white all the time. Who would still want to wear white on Christmas Eve?
Dec. 25
People kept coming in and asked for our help because they got hurt. Why do people always do stupid things on holidays?
Dec. 31
The police brought in a young man who broke his leg when he was trying to enter a house. When taking care of his leg, I asked him why he wanted to enter another person’s house, and he said he just wanted to borrow a pot. But Officer Clarke said he’s been borrowing many pots from strangers' houses.
Jan. 3
I knew my lunchtime was over when Howell came to my table. He’s a nice guy. But how many heads he’s cut open is the last thing I'd want to know when I’m eating beef sandwiches.

Forever Takes a Bow
Actor Nathan Lang, 78 years old, died in his sleep last night in his house. Nathan Lang started his acting life in the 1970s. He was most known for playing Justin Maud in Young Hours. The movie made the world swoon over him. Women wanted a husband like him; men wanted a brother like him. Forever Justin, his fans called him. After Young Hours, Nathan Lang was seen in several big movies: Fallen, After Tonight, and Killing Jules. The last one won him a best actor award. In the 1980s, Nathan Lang lost his shine on the big screen. During this time, his movies never entered the top 20 list. Nathan Lang’s last movie was Dreams. Though the movie won him two best actor awards, it did not bring his fans back to the theater.
This Saturday morning, 10 o’clock at St. Peter’s Church, there will be a “movie party,” as Lang wished. Friends and family will get together and enjoy once again the good times he brought to the world.

It’s never comfortable to take a bus during rush hour on a hot summer day. All my friends hate it. And I…, well, I 57 it too.
The story happened two months ago. I was on a bus that was packed with almost everyone in the city. I 58 my friend Neal to see a show. And then he called and said he couldn’t come. “This is not what I planned for Friday!” I thought. The air on the bus was terrible; the man in front of me smelled like dead fish. While I was feeling sorry for myself, a girl called my name. I didn’t recognize her at first. Then I was surprised to find that she was Hui-ting, my old neighbor. I 59 Hui-ting in years. We used to play together every day when we were kids. We were happy to see each other, so we decided to have dinner together. And that was the start of many dinners after.
With Hui-ting, the bus ride 60 something I love. The bus is still packed with people, but I enjoy the ride every day.
