2. Money Daniels spends several hours every week cleaning up cans and bottles in the rivers near his
home with other teen environmentalists in Chattanooga, TN. Together, they have collected more
than 1 ton of aluminum cans, nearly 1,000 cans a week for a year. In January, he co-founded a club
called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend. The project’s mission: to encourage kids to pick up 1
million pounds of trash across the globe before the end of the year.
Daniels says he first developed a passion for wildlife when he was 3. “As far back as I can
remember, I’ve always loved animals,” Daniels says. Marine life especially interests him. When he
began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family, he immediately thought of his
favorite sea creatures.
His mission now is saving the earth’s rivers, which he points out are even more polluted than the
world’s oceans. “Eighty percent of the ocean’s trash comes from rivers,” he says. In 2019, he
adopted the name Conservation Kid on Instagram, and started posting about things like how
something as simple as a deserted face mask can entangle (缠住), choke, and kill turtles, birds, and
fish. Mask waste has increased an estimated 9,000% since the pandemic(疫情) began.
Although he mostly speaks to other teens, Daniels has found that adults are often persuaded by his
argument that cleaning up, recycling, and ridding plastic ought to be a selfish act for humanity: when
plastics break down, they can wind up in our drinking water. He has met with the mayor of his city,
and his experiences speaking with influential grownups has convinced him that adults can change
their habits.
But, in truth, the burden to save the planet has landed on children like him. “Kids may be a small
percent of the population, but we’re 100% of the future,” he says. “And we can save the world.”
1. What led to the birth of Daniel’s project?
A．The inspiration from his best friend.
B．The goal to make a role model for kids.
C．The concern for the ocean life.

3. The Roman Colosseum was built almost two thousand years ago. Despite its age and a 14th
century earthquake that knocked down the south side, most of the 150-some foot building is still
standing. Scientists and engineers have long suspected a key to the building’s durability (使用年限)
is the use of a specific Roman concrete. But exactly how this solid concrete has contributed to the
architecture’s strength has been a mystery to researchers across the globe.
A team of researchers recently discovered a potential answer to why these ancient Roman buildings
have been able to weather the test of time while many modern concrete structures seem to fall apart
after a few decades. The answer is self-healing concrete.
The material has three components: limestone ( 石灰石), volcanic material and water. What the
researchers found was that the self-healing feature might be simply caused by chemistry accidentally.
The limestone in the concrete is likely the secret.
When the ancient Romans made mortar (灰浆), they heated up the lime to turn it into a substance
called “quicklime”. And, because they introduced water to the quicklime during mixing, the heat it
produced set up a chemical foundation that could strengthen the concrete later.
When tiny cracks start to form later, the quicklime stops them from becoming bigger. When it rains,
the lime reacts with the water to recombine as various forms of calcium carbonate ( 碳酸钙), quickly
filling the crack or reacting with the volcanic ash to “heal” the material.

For materials scientist Ainissa Ramirez, this new understanding of ancient Roman concrete is a
welcome discovery. “This is one way that the material can be more environmentally friendly,” says
Ramirez. “It’s sort of like a message in a bottle. The Romans made the material. We had to kind of
figure out how they did it so that we can make better materials — and then, you know, in turn, be
better protectors of our environment.”

A．Take. B．Stand. C．Avoid. D．Fail.
3. What do we know about the self-healing process?
A．The lime itself could fill the crack later.
B．The quicklime should be made on rainy days.
C．The chemical foundation could weaken the concrete.
D．Combining water and quicklime would produce heat.
4. What can be inferred from Ramirez’s words?
A．People can be inspired to make greener materials.
B．The secret of Roman concrete is hidden in a bottle.
C．Roman concrete has greatly improved the environment.
D．Roman concrete is popular in making modern architecture.
