第3节 阅读并填写表格。（共5小题；每小题2分，计10分）
阅读下面的短文，并将表格中的信息补充完整。
Food, the very thing that gives us life, can also hurt or even kill us. We should keep extra food in our own homes in a correct way.
Cooked food and uncooked food cannot be put together. We must cover cooked food with cling film (食物保鲜膜), and then put it on the top shelves in the fridge. Fresh vegetables, eggs and fruits must be put on the middle shelves or stored in special areas. Uncooked fresh food, like fish and meat, should be put in the freezer. This will make them last longer. Before you cook the meat, take it out of the freezer and put it on the lower shelves of the fridge to defrost (解冻). Remember to clean the fridge regularly. Germs (细菌) can grow in dirty fridges. Make sure the temperature of the fridge is kept at 4℃ all the time. A fridge with incorrect temperature cannot store food properly and the food will go bad easily.
Do the right thing now and lead a healthy and happy life.
