A
My first child was due in a couple of months. All of my shopping was done except for one thing. When my little brother was born, my mom had bought an old fashioned, red-velvet baby carriage (童车). Ever since then, I wanted one for my child.
I knew that this would be hard to find. So, Mom offered to take me around. Even used carriages cost quite a bit, and I had only $35 to spend. I hoped that I could only use the money I had. Early one Saturday morning, we drove for about an hour to a city with flea markets, and second-hand stores.
As we searched place after place without even seeing a baby carriage, we'd take turns saying, “It will be at the next stop.\getting dark. I was ready to give up. My mom wanted to go to one more store. On the way there Mom told me I should never lose hope.
When we got to the store, I took a deep breath. I knew that this was my last chance. My mom's words began to ring in my car: \down the middle of the store. There was one brand-new, red-velvet baby carriage. I ran over to touch it because I could hardly believe my eyes.
I was so excited that I couldn't say a word. When I calmed down, it occurred to me that, because it was new, I probably couldn't afford it. The saleslady said it came with the store when she bought it several years ago, and that it had been in storage until just this morning. She said she wanted to get rid of it as a bargain and was only asking $35. You can imagine how happy we were on our way home. It hadn't been for my mother I would not have made it.
Both of my children have outgrown (年长而不再需要) the carriage, but I keep it to remind me of my mother's words, \I say if you never lose hope, you'll succeed eventually.

B
Think about all the plastic in our lives like plastic bags, plastic cups and plastic plates. Also, think about those forks and spoons in your school cafeteria. They may probably be plastic. Plastic seems to be everywhere—even in the oceans.
Back in the 1990s, a man named Charles Moore discovered a huge floating island of plastic in the North Pacific Ocean. Since then, four more floating islands of plastic have been discovered in other places. Now, Moore says, the island is growing and spreading much farther. He made that discovery during a 30-day research expedition (探险).
\Patch than they've ever seen,\said Marieta Francis, the executive director of the AMRI—an institute that Moore created to investigate the floating plastic problem.
Right now, experts say they're not sure what all this plastic is doing to the health of our oceans or our own health. They suspect that small fish are eating tiny bits of the plastic—and that then they are getting into bigger fish when they eat the small fish. Of course, we're at the top of the food chain. So that means if the plastic is getting into the big fish, then it's getting into the fish we eat—and then into us.
Moore and other researchers hope to figure out what effect all that plastic is having. But right now, experts say their research is still in its very early stages. \now is that 10,000 to 35,000 tons of plastic is floating on the surface of our oceans. And we humans put it there,\
25. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Plastic has a terrible effect on people's life. B. Good use has been made of plastic in people's life. C. Plastic products should not be used in school cafeteria. D. Plastic is widely used and can be seen almost everywhere.
26. How does Moore feel when mentioning the floating island of plastic?
