精编优选练(十五)　阅读理解——推理判断题1(限时：25分钟) A In 2013, Eric and Winnie founded their company Dyelicious，the first kitchen trash workshop in the city. Their office is actually a small laboratory. Sometimes, they spend a whole day boiling or “cooking”， adding sugar, vinegar, and salt among other ingredients(组成部分). In doing so, an orange peel can be turned into orange dye and a rotten pineapple might be turned into a beautiful yellow color. At the beginning, Eric and Winnie were always laughed at by local vegetable sellers when they asked for their waste. But when the sellers saw the results of their up-cycling, they became more supportive. Over the past five years, Dyelicious has turned more than six tons of food waste into dye for dresses，scarves and handicrafts, turning the old saying of “one mans trash is another mans treasure” into a reality. Turning the food into dye is a small step in alleviating (缓解) food waste woes，but its at least a beginning. Dyelicious sells the dyed products and teaches people how to DIY their own nice clothes and handicrafts. While running the business is definitely not easy, the group says its worthwhile. The waste problem is a pressing issue in the city，as its landfills are expected to be full in two to three years.Eric and Winnie are trying to make a small step to change society and are hoping to gain big improvements for environmental protection in the city.
