A (2023·忻州联考) 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:环境保护 难度:★★★☆☆
Mallory Haske surfs nearly every day in the summer, and it really annoys her to see trash (垃圾) in the water or on the beach. So when her high school English teacher assigned a passion project, Haske came up with a creative idea that connected surfing and trash.
She collected litter on the beach and used it to create a surfboard in an effort to raise awareness about ocean pollution. “The feeling of catching a wave is fantastic. It’s such a mental release,” said Haske, standing on the beach waxing (上蜡) her newly finished trash board. “I really hope it floats.”
Her teacher assigned the project months ago and was surprised to see how Haske’s enthusiasm about it grew throughout the school year. “Not every student found her passion, but she did,” said the teacher. “I’m proud of her.”
Over the winter, Haske, who would graduate soon, collected litter including cigarette butts, bottle caps, fast⁃food containers and masks along the resort area beach. “It was definitely a unique challenge,” Haske said.
She landed a sponsor and raised money from friends to create the surfboard, which cost about $1,000. Haske takes custom orders and helps people build their own surfboards. Making one out of trash was a first for her. Nearly the entire board is made from recycled material and litter.
On Tuesday after school, Haske went out and attempted to ride a wave on her new board, but the mostly flat conditions made it difficult. The nose of the surfboard made by herself kept going under the water, but Haske stayed upbeat. “It’s pretty heavy up front, but it’s going to be my best friend,” Haske said after coming out of the water. “It’s made for large waves.”
