Question

    I live in Missouri, near a river called the Jacks Fork. Before I was born, my grandparents had decided to help keep the_____ clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 713. I like its another_____ better—the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our club makes sure the water is clean and healthy for fish and people. And now I'm old enough to help_____ the river, too.

Picking up rubbish is_____ a treasure hunt (搜寻). My friends and I look for plastic bags, bottles, paper and other things. There used to be even more rubbish here. On one weekend, my grandparents_____ picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That's as much as an elephant weighs!

The rubbish was_____ to the river or the animals and plants that lived there. So the River Rats taught people who were playing around the river to take rubbish with them rather than_____ it. Now there's much less_____ for us to pick up. Maybe one day we won't find any rubbish here.

My favorite job is to look for water bugs (虫子)! The bugs like to stay at the river bottom. Some bugs don't_____ how dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live in clean water. ______ we find lots of bugs that need clean water, then we will know the river is clean enough for fish and for us.

I love taking care of the Jacks Fork River Rats. I will try my best to help make sure it's a clean, safe place for people to play.
