三、短文填空。
Ryan Hickman lives in California. He became 1. i
interested
in recycling at the age of 3 after his father took him to visit a recycling centre. He went to the centre with a few bags 2. f
filled
with plastic, glass and cans. In return he got 5.
Ryan's parents had never expected that he would become so 3. s
serious
about recycling after this visit. The next day, Ryan told his parents that he would give plastic bags to all the neighbours and ask them to 4. s
save
their recyclables(可回收物品) for him. He even got friends and teachers to help.
Ryan now has his 5. o
own
business, called Ryan's Recycling Company. The company picks up rubbish and even allows people to make schedules(工作计划) of their own.
Today, Ryan has customers all over Orange County. He spends time every week collecting and 6. s
separating
plastic, glass and cans. Then he takes them to the recycling centre. So far, he has 7. r
recycled
over 200,000 bottles and cans.
"Plastic bottles and cans are 8. h
harmful
to the environment. I'm helping to change that," he said proudly. "One small family doesn't make a big 9. d
difference
, but if everyone does it, it will be different. If you didn't recycle before, start recycling 10. r
right
now. The reason is simple. It helps the world," Ryan said.
