        It is Oct. 24. You pick up a bottle of milk. You see "Best Before Oct.23" 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. But 795 million people on 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 our stomachs, not the trash.

        Sharing food

        People say, "There's no such thing as a free, lunch." But they are wrong. Recently, "share fridges" have come to cities like Shanghai and Quanzhou, Quick meals, milk, cookies and cakes are staying in the fridges. It is just like your fridge at home. The food comes from families and shops nearby. And it is free for every passerby 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 free food bank.

        In many people's eyes, expired( 过期的) food becomes junk. But a company from the UK thinks differently. There is a "Best Before Date "on the food bag. Before that date, the quality(质量) 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 cafes 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. (1) he writer thinks it's wrong to say "There's no such thing as a free lunch, because       .
      A . the saying is not true at all B . the food in "share fridges" is free C . most food goes to the trash D . the food for lunch is free everywhere
    2. (2) Where did the first free food bank appear?
      A . China. B . The UN. C . The US. D . The UK.
    3. (3) A company from the UK thinks the food after "Best Before Date "is       to eat.
      A . bad B . OK C . the best D . better
    4. (4) You can't see the        of the food in cafes.
      A . name B . date C . address D . price
    5. (5) What's the best title for the passage?
      A . Ways to stop food waste B . Food's best before date C . To enjoy the free food D . Where to find "share fridges"?
