课时冲关14Unit2 学生用书 I.阅读理解 体裁：记叙文 When I was twelve,my dad took me to the Silver Creek,a river that flowed like glass behind our village."This river has fed our family for three generations,"he said,pointing to the fish swimming beneath the water.I remember dip- ping my toes in,feeling the cold water pull at my ankles while dragonflies flew over the surface. But last summer,when I came back from college,I was shocked.The once-beautiful river was now full of plastic bags and chemical foam (泡沬).Dead fish floated on the surface,and the smell of rot was everywhere.My dad's stories echoed in my ears like a joke.That night,I couldn't sleep. By morning,I had a plan.I made posters and got my classmates together-Lily,who loved biology;Tom,the rugby team captain;and even shy Mei from the art club.We met at the river- bank the next Saturday,with gloves and determi- nation.Old Mr.Li,who still fished in the dirty water,laughed and said,“Fools！You can'tfix what's already dead.” The work was tough.We had to remove tires,broken TVs,and a rusty bicycle buried in the mud.One rainy afternoon,as I tried to pull a broken fridge out of the mud,my foot slipped on some algae.I fell into the rocks and cut my hand.Lily was shocked,but before she could say anything,old Mr.Li came over with bandages and some ginger tea.“Stubborn kid,”he said, but his eyes were kind."You've made me recall this river was once our life. By winter,something amazing happened. Kingfishers came back,flying through the air with their bright blue wings.Kids started skip- ping stones again,and their laughter filled the air.At our last gathering,Tom held up a photo from our first cleanup:a big pile of trash bags. “Look how far we've come,.”he said.But the re- al win wasn't just a clean river-it was the village finding its heart again,one bottle at a time.
