Where does the rubbish go? We bury most of it in a land fill (垃圾填埋场), but the landfills in many cities in the U.S. are almost filled. Many of the old landfills have poisons that can make water and soil (土壤) around them dangerous to your health. What can we do to help?Follow the three R’s: REUSE, REFUSE, and RECYCLE.REUSE You don’t need new bags every time you go to the store. Reuse the old ones—and you had better use cloth bags, not plastic ones.REFUSE Stop buying anything that is over–packaged. Also look for products that come in boxes made of recycled cardboard (硬纸板).RECYCLE People can use cans, newspapers and plastic bottles again. So don’t throw them away. Send them to the recycling center.根据短文内容,判断下列句子正（A）、误（B）。

I went to Ilan to learn about some of their special foods. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don’t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It’s made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会).Another famous dish is called zao bing. It’s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn’t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Ilan area─duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh.I don’t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.Ilan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again!根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
