问题     The holidays are the most wasteful time of the year. The amount of waste produced increases by more than 25% from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day. Waste from shopping bags alone amounts to four million tons in the U. S. and 28 billion pounds of food is wasted annually. That’s about 100 pounds per person. Now for the good news. You can simplify the holidays, do something about the amount of waste. Most issues surrounding food safety and food waste involve leftovers(剩饭). Plan ahead for the number of people you will be feeding, including a day or two of leftovers, but don’t try to keep food too long. Preparing the right amount of food will keep everyone feeling well and eliminate the need to throw away extra food this time of year.
    Plan thoughtfully when giving gifts. Waste-free gifts of time and talent are appreciated. Tickets to concerts, the zoo, movies or sporting events make fun gifts and don’t come with any waste.
    Wrapping paper can be recycled as long as it isn’t the metal variety. Better yet, reduce waste by wrapping gifts in shopping bags or other reusable items, to save the wrapping part of the package. [br] According to the passage, leftovers are most likely to cause issues of______.
选项 A、food price
B、food delivery
C、food safety and waste
D、food quality and cooking
答案 C
解析 细节辨认题。由题干中的leftovers和issues定位到文章第一段倒数第三句。定位句表明，围绕食品安全和浪费的大多数问题涉及剩饭。这表明，剩饭会带来食品安全隐患和浪费。选项C)中的food safety and waste和原文表述一致，由此可以确定C)“食品安全和食物浪费”为本题的答案。
