Gao Wenqi, 49, owner of a restaurant in Xi'an, Shanxi, started to offer a new service on April 13, 2013: suspended meals (待用快餐). Now many restaurants in China, such as in Henan, Chongqing and Yunnan, have joined the program.

You can pay 10 yuan for a meal, which should be sold at 16, and leave it at the restaurant. Then other people in need, such as the disabled（残疾人）， the poor elderly or homeless children, can have it without paying.

This idea comes from the cafes (咖啡馆) in Naples, Italy. It's a tradition that someone there pays in advance for an extra (额外的) cup or two. Then another coffee-drinker can take them for free.

“The program is meaningful. It offers help with dignity（尊严），” said Gao to Xinhua. However, people are worried that someone who is able to pay would also ask for the suspended meals, so there should be rules for this program.

36. According to the passage, this program may possibly take place . A. in a restaurant B. at a bus station C. in a school D. on a train 37. The suspended meals are offered to . A. students B. workers C. people in need D. the rich 38. The underlined phrase “in advance” in the third paragraph means “_ _” in Chinese.

A.滞后 B.预先 C.优先 D.胜过 39. It's said that the idea of “suspended meals” comes from .

A. Italy B. the U.S. C. Canada D. China 40. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Someone who is unable to pay can ask for the suspended meals.
