问题    Most people buy a lot of gilts just before Christmas. But some people think we buy too much. They have started a special day called Buy Nothing Day. They don’t want anyone to go shopping on that day.
   Buy Nothing Day is November 29. It’s 25 days before Christmas. It’s after Thanksgiving Day and often the first day of Christmas shopping. At this time, we see ads in newspapers and on TV telling us to " buy, buy, buy" !
   The idea for Buy Nothing Day started in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now people all over the world celebrate Buy Nothing Day. In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs, and paint pictures. The children talk about why they don’t need many toys. Last year, in Manchester, England, people dressed up in costumes to tell people that we buy too much.
   In Albuquerque, New Mexico, high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day. They organized a spaghetti dinner party to give people information about Buy Nothing Day. They asked restaurants in the neighborhood to donate the food. They made posters and talked to other students about it. The dinner was a big success, and many students agreed not to buy anything on November 29. The students at the high school liked the idea of this new tradition. Next year, they want to have another dinner to tell more people about Buy Nothing Day!
Which of the following is TRUE about the spaghetti dinner party?

选项 A、It was organized by students themselves.
B、A lot of foreigners took part in it.
C、The students bought some food from the restaurants in the neighborhood.
D、The students’ parents made the dinner in the spaghetti party.

解析 由文章最后一段内容可知,spaghetti dinner party是由一些学生自行组织的,其食物是由附近的餐馆免费提供的,故选A。
