The holidays are the most wasteful time of the year. The amount of waste produced increases by more than 25% from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. Waste from shopping bags alone amounts to four million tons in the U. S. and 28 billion pounds of food is wasted annually. That’s about 100 pounds per person. Now for the good news. You can simplify the holidays, do something about the amount of waste. Most issues surrounding food safety and food waste involve leftovers(剩饭). Plan ahead for the number of people you will be feeding, including a day or two of leftovers, but don’t try to keep food too long. Preparing the right amount of food will keep everyone feeling well and eliminate the need to throw away extra food this time of year.
Plan thoughtfully when giving gifts. Waste-free gifts of time and talent are appreciated. Tickets to concerts, the zoo, movies or sporting events make fun gifts and don’t come with any waste.
Wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn’t the metal variety. Better yet, reduce waste by wrapping gifts in shopping bags or other reusable items, to save the wrapping part of the package.
What does the writer mean by saying "simplify the holidays"(Para. 1)?
选项
A、Spending the holidays in a simple way.
B、Preparing enough food for the holidays.
C、Making the holidays as comfortable as possible.
D、Saving as much money as possible for the holidays.
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。由题干中的“simplify the holidays”(Para.1)定位到文章第一段第六句。该段首先说明了人们在节假日的浪费巨大,进而提出策略以减少浪费。这一策略就是“simplify the holidays”,后文对这一策略做了解释,即准备食物之前根据人数做好计划,减少因食物过量引发的浪费。选项A)中的in a simple way是对原文中的simplify的同义转述。由此可以确定A)“用简单的方式过节”为本题的答案。
