A community cleanup brings volunteers（志愿者）together to clean, repair, and improve public spaces or other areas that have been filled with rubbish or destroyed（破坏）. Cleanup projects can include all kinds of public spaces—parks, playground, and even parking lots. Cleanups show that people care about its appearance. Crime（犯罪）is less likely to happen when a neighborhood is clean, and used by neighbors and their friends. By cleaning a used park or playground, more people would like to play there and protect them, which makes the community safer. ◎A cleanup can be a one-time event（事件）. The activity can also continue by moving the cleanup from one place to another—for example, from the school playground to a neighborhood park. ※Sharing the work—letting people do different jobs that interest them makes each new cleanup a fresh chance for volunteers. Make sure your community cleanup goals（目标）are realistic. It’s a good idea to start with a project that can be finished in one afternoon and then turn to larger projects. Whether your cleanup project is a one-time event or a year-long task, don’t forget to celebrate the results. Take photos and videos, then post them on the Internet and write thank-you letters to those who helped. Making a meal at the end can make volunteers look forward to working together again. |

It was a village in India. The people were poor but they were happy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were useless to the villagers. What they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. The villagers were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops weren’t doing so well. More worry was that the children fell ill more often, and there were more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.
The people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job--- eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.From Paragraph l, we learn that the villagers_______.
