三.阅读 A篇 (每题2分) A During the winter holiday season, we often see an increase in the amount of rubbish we produce in our homes. As you prepare to celebrate the holidays, follow the simple instructions in this article to help cut the amount of rubbish produced in your home.

If you receive gifts in gift bags, be sure to store them away for future use. When entertaining: ◆ Avoid the use of plastic forks, spoons and knives as much as possible. Bring out your favorite dishes for special holidays, and buy a holiday tablecloth to avoid using disposable ( 一次性的 ) paper or plastic ones.
