Stray cats (野猫)must have been eating like kings during holidays as they climb into the garbage bins behind some best restaurants and search for the food that people left．

Holiday dinners are times of family，friends and food…，lots of food! A meal can usually last for hours．And if there are guests，there will be even more dishes as the host wishes to show his generosity．At family dinners，most of the leftovers (吃剩的饭菜）will be eaten later，but at big dinners，the leftovers go straight into the bin．

It’s reported that 50 million tons of food，about one tenth of the total amount of grain (粮食）production of China，is wasted every year．According to China Agricultural University，that’s enough food to feed 200 million people．A lot of this waste comes from big dinners when hosts try to order expensive foods to impress their guests．

Restaurants make a lot of money from these big dinners，but some restaurant owners are shocked at the waste．They’ve started campaigns (运动)to encourage people to clean their plates．One restaurant owner says he now gives discounts to people who eat everything they order，and he also offers free bags to take home any leftovers．

A full stomach，they say，is good for the body and good for the soul (灵魂)，but wasted food can be bad for both．So，at festival times，we should order what we want，but eat everything that we order…and let the stray cats find their dinner elsewhere!

Do you know how to keep fish at home?

The fish need room(空间). They must not be crowded（拥挤）. Fish need oxygen(氧气). Fish get it from water in the tank. There must be enough water for all fish in the tank. So the size of the tank is important..

In the tank many people put small plants. They give oxygen to the water. Plants help in other ways, too. Fish can nibble(轻咬)on the plants. They hide in the plants and sleep, lay eggs there.

Both the plants and fish need light. You can put it near a window. It will get light there. But remember: a window may let cold air in. The cold can kill(杀死) your fish. Too hot water can kill your fish, too.

The fish need food and you should feed them every day. Giving them too much food is bad. It will make the water dirty. However, the fish should get just enough food. They should finish the food in 10 minutes. No extra(多余) is left. When this happens, the amount(数量)of food is right.
