I live in Missouri, near a river called the Jacks Fork. Before I was born, my grandparents decided to help keep the 1 clean. So they started a club called Stream Team 713. I like its another 2 better — the Jacks Fork River Rats! Our club makes sure the water is clean and healthy for fish and people. And now I’m big enough to help 3 the river too.
Picking up rubbish is 4 a treasure hunt (搜寻). My friends and I find plastic bags, bottles, paper, and all kinds of things. There used to be even more rubbish here. On one weekend, my grandparents 5 picked up 6 tons of rubbish. That’s as much as an elephant weighs!
That rubbish was 6 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 7 it. Now there’s much less rubbish for 8 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 9 how dirty the water is, but other bugs can only live in clean water. 10 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. We help make sure it’s a clean, safe place for me and my friends to play.

All animals produce waste. We call it “waste”, but we all know it can be very useful. Farmers have long used animal and human waste as a fertilizer (肥料). In some parts of the world, animal waste or poop, is collected, dried and burned for cooking and heating. 1
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has an unusual way of using animal waste. The pandas in it produce a lot of poop a day. 2 It’s not strange. After all, paper is made from plant fiber (植物纤维), which cannot be digested (消化) and simply goes through the body as waste.
Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their waste is perfect paper material. 3 Their stomachs haven’t fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper.
After the poop is collected, it is cleaned, crushed and poured into frames to dry. 4 No one can guess where the paper comes from. And because of its good quality (质量) as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well.
5 They got the idea from the elephant dung paper (由大象粪便做的纸) made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the UK sells paper gifts made from sheep waste.
A .What’s more, pandas have a special advantage. B.After this process, it becomes really good, strong paper. C.But have you ever heard of paper that’s made from poop D.However, the Chinese aren’t the first to make paper from animal waste. E.This material is being turned into a new product called Panda Poop Paper.
