So, we’ve got two questions that need answers: have we got enough space on our planet for so many people and how can we ____16____ we’ve all got enough food to live? Many people eat too much meat—steaks, beef burgers, sausages, etc. That’s not good for us and we need big farms to produce all that meat. The farms already use 30% of all the world’s land: they create greenhouse gases and use a lot of water and energy. However, we can do something to ____17____.We can eat meat only one or two days a week, for example, and eat more vegetables—that’s healthy. We can eat some different types of meat—creepy-crawlies ____18____! That’s right, grasshoppers, worms, flies and lots of other insects. They’re the superfood of the future. They’ve got a lot of protein. Protein is very important for our health, and it’s good for our hair and our skin. Protein keeps our muscles and bones in good condition as well. There are two more reasons why insects are good food ____19____ insect farms don’t need so much water and energy. Also, they don’t use so much space.

Dad gets it right! （finally）Day five of the adventure in Italy and we’re in Naples. We arrived here early yesterday morning, but as usual we were only at the hotel for about five minutes before Dad wanted to take us somewhere. This time it was to the ancient city of Pompeii near Naples. I didn’t really want to go. I wanted to go shopping for shoes. We travelled there by train. The journey didn’t take long—but long enough for Dad to tell us a bit about the history. Many years ago Pompeii was a large Italian city near a volcano[1]called Mount Vesuvius—then on 24 August 79—the volcano broke out and completely covered the city in ash[2]. It killed about 20, 000 people. But the ash didn’t destroy the buildings and now, 2, 000 years later, you can walk around the city and see how people lived all those years ago. (1) 000-year-old houses：thanks, Dad—really boring, I thought, but I was wrong! The houses were very interesting. Most of them were really big with lots of rooms（so lots of space to get away from troublesome brothers and sisters! ）There were paintings and mosaics[3]all over the walls. I’d love a Roman mosaic of One Direction on my bedroom wall. Also, I was amazed at the bathrooms. I’d love a big bathroom in our house—ours is so small! I got really interested in Pompeii. I wasn’t bored at all. In fact, I’ve got lots of ideas for our house when we get home! 28. Does Dad often make quick or slow decisions on travelling destinations（目地）? ________29.

Whether you prefer taking a walk under the trees or having a picnic in the park, there are some rules to keep in mind. Hanami Manners Rule 1: Only take the space you need Since hamami is such a popular activity, it might be hard to get a space where you can sit. Most people want to have a ____34____ close to the trees, restrooms and rubbish bins, so these areas are taken quickly. It is understandable to want to make yourself ____35____, but please take other visitors into consideration and don’t take up more space than necessary. Rule 2: Take your rubbish home Eating and drinking under cherry trees is very relaxing；however, no one can enjoy the Sakura when piles of rubbish start to build up.

A. free B. shake C. eager D. alone E. avoidRule 3: Never touch or damage the trees To take a perfect selfie, some tourists might climb trees or ____38____ the branches to create a petal shower.
