But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year.
Take Kenya for example.This east African nation has been suffering terrible droughts.The result is that people are beginning to starve.Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.
This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way.But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks—European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves.
So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have.After all, food is essential for survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.

答案：C

答案：B
3．解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的最后一句“But even in the UK, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks—European organizations that hand out donated food to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves”可知，即使是在英国，低收入家庭也被迫要使用食物银行。该组织是一个向那些无钱购买食物的人捐赠食物的欧洲组织。据此可知，贫穷的英国人可以获得食物银行的帮助。故选A。
答案：A
