VI. Reading Comprehension選出最適當的答案。(每題4分，共12分)

I've recently taken on Zero Waste Challenge. To do this, I had to try to send no waste at all to a landfill.

 I first had to reduce what I used, so I stopped buying things I didn't truly need. My old clothes were fine and therefore I didn't buy new ones on impulse. Also, if I was thirsty, I wouldn't buy bottled water from stores. I would use my bottle to get water for free. The second thing I did was reuse things. Instead of getting food in a plastic container, I always brought my own cup and glass no matter when I ate out. The third thing I did was sort garbage as much as I could. Leftovers, plastic products, metal, glass, and paper were all properly sorted and collected.

I sent one small garbage bag to the landfill last month. I hope to send even less this month!

(A) It is difficult to take Zero Waste Challenge to lose weight.
(B) People should use a container to drink water instead of buying a bottle

　 of it.
(C) There are three ways that the author used to produce less waste.
(D) Recycling is the most effective way to reduce waste.

(　A　) 2. According to the passage, what might a “landfill” look like?

(C)         (D)

(A) The author didn't buy any new clothes because the old clothes were 

　 fine.
