Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Garbage is a big problem all over the world. People buy and use a lot of things nowadays. After
a while, they throw them away in the garbage bin. All the garbage is later thrown away or dumped
outside the city. These places are called landfill sites. In many cities, landfill sites are now full.
We have to manage our waste and garbage better. If we throw away so many things, soon we
will have no place to dump them. The best thing to do is to reduce the amount of garbage. If we use less,
we throw away less. For instance, we can buy food in big boxes and packages. Then we throw away
only one box every month or so. Otherwise, we throw away many small boxes or cans every day.
Similarly, we can reuse a lot of packaging. For example, we do not have to buy take-out coffee
in Styrofoam cups, which are made of aluminum - a toxic material to the environment. We can bring our
own cup from home and fill it with fresh coffee.
We also do not have to take the plastic bags from the supermarket. We can bring our own cloth
bag from home instead. When we pack lunch, it is better to use a lunch box than a paper bag. Instead of
paper plates, we can use real plates. We can clean up with a dishtowel, not a paper towel. We can use a
compost bin for food scraps. In this way, the food gets back into the earth. It does not get mixed up with
the regular garbage.
Finally, all paper, glass and metal we do use, we can recycle. In many countries, there are now
recycling programs. In Germany, for example, people separate all glass bottles by color. Then they put
the bottles into special bins that are on the street. The city collects the glass, cleans it, and reuses it. As
well, in most countries, people recycle newspapers and cardboard. It is easy and efficient.

A. Garbage, a huge world problem
B. Some ways to deal with garbage problem
C. Recycling, one good way to reduce garbage
D. Garbage, the result of people’s buying and using too much
32. Why should people NOT throw away Styrofoam cups?
A. Because they can fill them again with fresh tea.
B. Because they can buy take-out coffee in them.
