Jeff Keith has only one leg. When he was 12 years old, Jeff had cancer. Doctors had to cut off most of his right leg. Everyday Jeff puts on an artificial leg. The leg is plastic. With the plastic leg Jeff can ski, ride a bicycle, swim, and play soccer. He can also run.
In the photo, Jeff is running with some young men. They have plastic legs, too. They are wearing special T-shirts. The T-shirts say, “Run, Jeff, Run. Jeff Keith Run Across America.”
When he was 22 years old, Jeff Keith ran across the United State, from the East Coast to the West Coast. He started running in Boston. Seven months later, he stopped running in Los Angeles. He ran 3,200 miles, that’s about 16 miles each day. Jeff wore out 36 pairs of running shoes and five plastic legs.
Jeff stopped in cities on the way to Los Angeles. In every city people gave Jeff money. The money was not for Jeff. It was for American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society used the money to learn about cancer.
On the way to Los Angeles Jeff talked to people about cancer. He also talked about being disabled. Jeff is disabled, but he can do many things: he skis, swims, plays soccer, and runs. He finished college and is studying to be a lawyer. Jeff says, “People can do anything they want to do. I want people to know that. I am not only for disabled people. I ran for everyone!”

Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses．
Surabaya， Indonesia's second largest city， located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java， made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．
Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter， producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门） said，"With this decision， we hope to raise public awareness about environment， especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"
Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．
The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．
The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it． It is a win﹣win situation．"
This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．

（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？
（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？
（4）What is the purpose of the new program？
（5）What do local people think of the new program？
As usual， Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow schoolbus，Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road， so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门） of MeDonald′s， they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn′t look delicious at all．However， Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．
You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact， colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example：You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的） person， you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short， colors do add interest to daily conversations．
Besides， colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow， and stop signs red？Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color，it can catch people's attention， especially in heavy traffic．As for red，it is the color which usually shows warning； as a result， some traffic signs use this color．For the same reason，hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．
The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red， yellow， orange， and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods，and，therefore，able lo raise people's spirits．Blue， in comparison with bright colors， is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet， blue dishes and bowls might help!
"Morning， Amber!What happened？You look a bit green， "said Violet， Amber′s best friend，
"Nothing…just feeling…blue， "said Amber．
"Hey! Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought？A wii! It′s red﹣hot．"
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play wth the wii and said， "Sounds great!"

Once upon a time， a king dressed up and went to a local village．He placed a large stone in the middle of the main road and hid gold coins under the stone． Then he hid behind a huge tree and watched．
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart（小车）．He crashed into the stone himself up and angrily went away．
After a while，a group of women came along，each balancing a pot of water on her head．One woman tripped over（绊倒） the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground．She picked herself up and walked away in tears，Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road．
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone， but he found nobody was willing to move it．The king wondered，"Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm？"
Just then， the king saw a young girl coming along．She was the daughter of a local farmer， She had been working all day and was very tired．But when she saw he stone， she said to herself．"This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark．I′ll move it out of the way．"
After a grent deal of effort， the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road．Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!
Just then， the king stepped out from behind the tree．"Oh sir， "the girl said， "Is this gold yours？If not， we surely must find the owner， for he will certainly miss it．"
The king said， "My dear， the gold is mine， but now the gold is yours， because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people．Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems．"
