Rene Haggerty, 13, was awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work—     42    discarded(废弃的) batteries(电池)which pollute water.

In 2003, Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There she saw an exhibit about how     43    in old batteries harm the water of Lake Erie.

Haggerty learnt that     44     the batteries was an easy solution. “I think everybody can do it, because everyone     45    batteries, and it can make a big difference.” With these words, she began to     46    awareness in her area.

She     47     her county government and school board. She got permission to start a recycling programme in schools     48    the public library, hospital, and churches. With help from her family, friends and local waste-management    49   , she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made a(n)     50    video.

Over the past two years, she collected four tons of batteries and drew the attention of officials, who were in charge of a battery recycling programme but had made     51   progress.

When asked     52    she feels like a hero, Haggerty is quite ____53   . “Not really. Well, maybe for the fish I saved!”
