二、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, has made waves (引起轰动) with a beach clean-up campaign (运动). On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾).
“The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.”
In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers.
From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began collecting recyclables (可回收物) to raise money. In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles.
Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence.
“It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.”

Last year, I left my job and went to work without pay in the rainforest. So many people have said to me, “I would love to do something like that.” And I say, “If you want to, just do it.” They always reply, “I cannot.” But, if you really want to do it, there are ways to make it happen.
After three days’ training, I started work on an environmental project with a group of young people. The living place was very basic and we had to build our own place to sleep. This included a simple bed, a cloth roof and a net to keep insects out.
It was never dangerous there, but it was very challenging. There were things that we didn’t think we would manage to do, but we did. I had some of my worst moments there, but also some of my best—it made me feel alive. I didn’t miss my home as much as I thought. We had food, water, somewhere to stay, about three sets of clothes and really good friends. We were in the most beautiful place and we had things to keep us busy. We didn’t need any more.
One of the volunteers said, “Before we came here, it was really important to me what clothes I wore and who my friends were. I was always thinking about shoes, but really none of that matters. Here, people accept me for who I am, what I believe and think, not for what kind of clothes I’ve got.” What she said truly came from the bottom of my heart.

Children in one village have a new place to spend their winter vacation—a library built by a local charity group Dashan Xiaoai, which means “big mountain, small love”. The library is located in Banwan village, Guizhou Province, which became a must-visit place for tourists during holidays.
This is the eighth library set up by the charity to help rural people, especially children. Zhou Beilei, the head of the charity, has worked on rural education for more than 10 years. She found that rural children do not have a place to spend quality time after school. Besides, she also found that many children live with their relatives because their parents go to cities to look for work.
Students in Banwan village spend more than 180 days at home during weekends, school vacations and festival holidays. “They have no parents to accompany (陪伴) them and most of them have no access to educational resources like bookstores. This is why we decided to build libraries for the children, offer them meaningful activities and develop their love for reading, ”Zhou says.
The charity’s first library, located in Qiaoma town, opened in March 2019. It is divided into an adult area and a designated (指定的) space for children. It also organizes all kinds of after-school activities. To encourage them to read, children can join a free rewards (奖励) program and get points by reading books.
