Last August Susan and forty-two other students got wet and dirty while removing six tons of garbage (25)_____ the river running across their city. (26)_____ cleaned up the river as part of a weeklong environmental camp. Like one in three American rivers, this river is so polluted that it‘s unsafe for swimming or fishing. Still, Susan, (27)_____ has just completed her third summer camp on the river cleanup, sees a change in this river. ―Since we started three years ago, the river is getting a lot (28)_____(clean),‖ she says. Environmental scientists praise the teenagers for removing garbage (29)_____ can harm wild life. Water birds, for example, can die of plastic bottle rings and get cut by tiny metals. Three years ago, when the cleanup started, garbage was everywhere. But this year the teenagers can row their boats fast. By the end of the six-hour cleanup, they (30)_____(remove) enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks. ―(31)_____(see) all that garbage in the river makes people begin to care about environmental issues,‖ Susan says. She hopes that when others read that, she and her peers care enough (32)_____(clean) it up, maybe they would think twice before they throw garbage into the river.

Dave Fuss lost his job (33)_____(drive) a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift---$7,000，a legacy（遗产） from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in (34)_____ accident. ―It really made a difference (35)_____ we were going under financially.‖ says Dave.

But the Fusses weren‘t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families (36)_____(touch) by the Hatches‘ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than $100,000.

Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents (40)_____ not afford it. ―Ish and Arlene never asked whether you needed anything,‖ says their friend Sand Van Weelden, ―They could see the things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.‖

I hated dinner parties. But I decided (25)__________ (give) them another try because I‘m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because (26)__________ dinner parties in London are very

11

different from those in New York. In New York, ―I‘m having a dinner party‖ means ―I‘m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you (27)__________ hardly afford and we‘ll be sharing the check evenly, (28)__________ you eat.‖ Worse, in Manhattan, there is always someone who (29)__________ (leave) before the bill arrives. They‘ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don‘t drink, end up (30)__________ (pay) even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: ―Where are you going?‖ And it‘s not like that I can‘t say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.

But in London, dinner parties are in people‘s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is like a gathering at Bloomingdale‘s, a well-known department store. Personally, I think dinner parties in London are (31)__________ (impressive) than this.

For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn (District) and Queens (District) in New York. But at Mallery‘s, when I said that I (32) __________ (be) to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.

(B) Several factors led to my recent car accident. First of all, a heavy snow and freezing rain that had fallen the day before made the road I was driving on dangerous. The road had been cleared, (33)__________ it was still dangerously icy. Despite the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (34)__________ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously. Another factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me. The road (35)__________ (cover) with a sheet of ice at that point and if I applied my brakes, I would steer into the van. So I carefully drove my car into the next lane, and though the rear (后部) of my car began skidding back and forth, for a moment I got the idea (36)__________ everything was OK as I drove past the slow-moving van.

Unfortunately, the rear of my Volkswagen was heavy (37)__________ the engine was there and also because there was a new weight-lifting set (38)__________ (lay) in the back seat, the result of (39)__________ was that after I passed the van, my car turned completely around on the slippery road. I was desperately sliding down the highway backwards at 50 miles an hour. Then I slid off the road, (40)__________ (hit) a wooden fence post. My left rear taillight was broken in the process. Then I suddenly saw a telephone pole about only 6 feet to the right of me, and I realized my accident could have really been a disaster.
