    Joe moved to Canada with his family at the age of 41. There were many stressful days for them in the beginning. Since Joe had no job the savings (存款) they brought with them were diminishing rapidly.

    One day, Joe went out to look for a job. As he walked, he saw many things on the street that people threw away. Joe could not believe his eyes. "Why would people throw away such things? "he asked himself. Joe saw a "new" television and decided to take it home to see what the problem was. Since he was 12 years old, Joe's main hobby has been electronics (电子产品). As a teenage boy, he began to repair radios, TVs and so on.

    Joe brought the television home and turned it on. There were pictures on the screen, but there was no sound. He opened the back cover. Before long, Joe found the problem. The loudspeaker (扬声器) was broken. He went out again. Among the garbage on the street, he found a toy piano. He carried the piano home. Luckily its loudspeaker worked. Fifteen minutes later, Joe had a TV with both pictures and sound.

When Daniel was 26, he spent a year travelling around America. He visited all 50 states and worked for a week in each one. He didn't use buses or planes — he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (travel) by car from job to job. He earned money for every job he did but hotels were too expensive for him. He {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (usual) stayed in his boss's home. Sometimes he stayed with one of the other {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (worker). "People were very good to me," says Daniel. "I {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (look) after really well."

But {#blank#}5{#/blank#} did Daniel do this? "I wanted to travel and learn about my country," he says. "And I expect {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (try) lots of different jobs." Things weren't always easy {#blank#}7{#/blank#} Daniel. In week 7, he worked as {#blank#}8{#/blank#} farmer in Nebraska. "The days were long and I got really dirty," he says. In week 38, he was a cook in a fish restaurant in Maryland. "{#blank#}9{#/blank#} was really boring to work there! Often I didn't even have time to drink water. Other jobs were much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (interesting)." He worked in a theme park in Florida and worked as a model in North Carolina. In Alaska, he was a photographer. "That was great. Alaska is a very beautiful place," says Daniel.

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Plastic is useful.  It's in a lot of things we use every day, from clothes to pens, and bottles to toys.  But there's a problem.  Most plastic is not biodegradable (可生物降解的), and a lot of it ends up in the sea. 

How big is the problem?

There are billions of bits of plastic in the world's sea! Every ocean and every beach has plastic, from large objects to small pieces called micro plastics.  Tons of plastic go into the sea every year.  Increasing like this, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea!

How does plastic harm sea animals?

Fish, sea turtles, and birds think plastic is food, and they eat it.  The plastic stays in their stomachs.  Dead seabirds are found with stomachs full of plastic.  Whales, dolphins, and seals are caught by plastic bags or fishing nets.  It's said that millions of ocean animals die each year because of plastic rubbish in the sea around the world. 

What can we do?

Many people and organizations around the world are taking action.  In some countries, plastic bags aren't allowed to use.  Scientists are developing new biodegradable plastic.  Many communities are trying to use less plastic and recycle more.  Kids are playing their part, such as working to make their schools "zero plastic". 

Plastic pollution is becoming more and more serious, so it's necessary for us to produce, buy and use fewer plastic products.  Above all, one person can't solve it alone, but together we will make a difference.
