It is January 15th. You pick up a bottle of milk. You see “Best Before Jan. 14” on it. What do you do with it? Most people just throw it away.
It's a big waste.
The United Nations says that over one third of food goes to the trash (垃圾). But 795 million people on the Earth don't have enough to eat.
To change this, people have come up with great ideas. After all, the best place for food is in our stomachs, not the trash.
Sharing food
People say, “There's no such thing as a free lunch.” But they are wrong.
Recently, “shared fridges” have come to cities like Shanghai and Nanjing. Quick meals, milk, cookies and cakes are staying in the fridge. It is just like your fridge at home. The food comes from families and shops nearby. And it is free for every passer - by to enjoy!
This great idea comes from the popular “food bank” practice.
We keep our extra money in a bank. In 1967, some people in the US wanted to do the same with food. They then set up the world's first food bank.
Saving old food
In many people's eyes, food past its sell - by date becomes trash. But a company from the UK thinks differently.
There is a “Best - Before Date” on the food bag. Before that date, the quality is the best. But after that date, the food can be still OK to eat.
So, the Real Junk Food Project, a British company, gets such food from supermarkets and puts it in cafés again. They don't give the food a price. You can give whatever money you like. If you don't want to spend money, you can help work there.
( ) 1. What does the underlined sentence “After all, the best place for food is in our stomachs, not the trash” mean?
A. Food is not the trash.
B. Food in stomachs is really a big waste.
C. Food in stomachs is trash.
D. Food should be eaten, not be thrown away.

A. The world's first food bank in the US.
B. Every passer - by in Shanghai.
C. Families and shops in Nanjing.
D. Extra money in the bank.
( ) 3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The food may be still OK to eat after its best - before date.
B. We shouldn't throw away the food before its best - before date.
C. Food costs money, so there's no such thing as a free lunch.
D. The Real Junk Food Project deals with food past its best - before date.
( ) 4. What may be the best title for the passage?
