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 Rs: REUSE, REFUSE, and RECYCLE. REUSE You dont need new bags every time you go to the store. Reuse the old onesand you had better use cloth bags, not plastic ones. REFUSE Stop buying anything that is overpackaged. 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 dont throw them away.

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. Its made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didnt 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 Ilanareaduck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat
