The United States faces a strange problem.On one hand，it wastes more than a third of food produced for human consumption，much of it ending up in landfills because it has passed an expiration date（有效期）.On the other hand，one in five Americans is hungry，unable to afford，access，or prepare proper meals on a regular basis.

Some volunteers choose 1 to D work.' weekly，while others accept pickups only when convenient.One super-engaged.volunteer，Vincent Petti，has single-handedly made 1 ，500 rescues in Pittsburgh.Families like to get involved，too.It's a great way to teach children about the problems of food waste and food insecurity and show them how to take meaningful action to fight it.
Since launched in 2016，the Food Rescue Hero app has redirected an estimated 40 million pounds of good food.It has expanded beyond its pilot location in Pittsburgh to 10 partners operating in 12 cities.jye.ai it hopes t0 be in 100 cities by 2030.You can be a part of that spread by downloading the app's guide to start a food rescue in your own city.

3．What is cross country running？Cross country is an outdoor endurance（耐久性）sport that can be mentally challenging and fun.（1）
You're not only putting one foot in front of the other；you're also thinking ahead to barriers and changes in the trail or course.
（2）However，before you begin training and racing，you should be aware of potential injuries and how to avoid them.How can you prevent cross country running injuries？The best ways for outdoor runners to stay healthy include the following running tips：
Stretch daily.For all runners and athletes，a regular stretching routine is an important part of conditioning.（3）
Warm up and cool down.Muscles and tendons（跟腱）are less likely to overstretch or tear if they've been properly prepared for running and racing.High-intensity workouts require more prep and post-workout cool down than low-impact activities.
Wear the right shoes.Make sure your shoes fit properly and that they are neither too tight-fitting nor too loose.（4）
Eat and drink enough.Competitive distance runners like to keep their weight low.However，consuming too few calories can harm your body，especially if you're a girl or woman subject to eating disorders.（5）It's effective to prevent injury and heat illness.Remember that especially in full sun or in humid regions of the state，you particularly tend to have heat stroke.Drink plenty of water before and after running.
A.Cross country running is a sport requiring money.
B.Tie double-knots to prevent tripping over undone laces.
C.It's mostly very safe in comparison to other team sports.
D.Have a well-balanced diet and be sure to stay well-hydrated.
E.You may encounter unexpected，non-natural barriers.
F.It is needed to keep your bones，joints，and muscles healthy.
