Money Daniels spends several hours every week cleaning up cans and bottles in the rivers
near his home with other teen environmentalists in Chattanooga, TN. Together, they have
collected more than1 ton of aluminum cans, nearly1,000cansa weekfor ayear.In January,he
co-founded a club called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend. The project’s mission: to
encouragekidstopickup1millionpoundsoftrashacrosstheglobebeforetheendoftheyear.
Daniels says he first developed a passion for wildlife when he was 3. “As far backas Ican
remember,I’ve always loved animals,” Daniels says. Marine life especially interests him.When
he began discovering trash on walks along the river with his family, he immediately thought of
hisfavoriteseacreatures.
His mission now is saving the earth’s rivers, which he points out are even more polluted
than the world’s oceans. “Eighty percent of the ocean’s trash comes from rivers,” he says. In

birds,andfish.Maskwastehasincreasedanestimated9,000%sincethepandemic(疫情)began.
Althoughhemostlyspeakstootherteens,Danielshasfoundthatadultsareoftenpersuaded

A team of researchers recently discovered a potential answer to why these ancient Roman
buildings have been able to weather the test of time while many modern concrete structures
seemtofallapartafterafewdecades.Theanswerisself-healingconcrete.
Thematerialhasthreecomponents:limestone(石灰石),volcanicmaterialandwater.What
the researchers found was that the self-healing feature might be simply caused by chemistry
accidentally.Thelimestoneintheconcreteislikelythesecret.
When the ancient Romans made mortar (灰浆), they heated up the lime to turn it into a
substance called “quicklime”. And, because they introduced water to the quicklime during
mixing,theheatitproducedsetupachemicalfoundationthatcouldstrengthentheconcretelater.
When tiny cracks start to form later, the quicklime stops them from becoming bigger. When it
rains, the lime reacts with the water to recombine as various forms of calcium carbonate (碳酸
钙),quicklyfillingthecrackorreactingwiththevolcanicashto“heal”thematerial.
For materials scientistAinissa Ramirez, this new understanding ofancientRoman concrete
is a welcome discovery. “This is one way that the material can be more environmentally
friendly,” says Ramirez. “It’s sort of like a message in a bottle. The Romans made the material.
We had to kind of figure out how they did it so that we can make better materials — and then,

Dear fellows,
In order to celebrate the upcoming World Book Day, an interesting reading campaign will
be launched. Not only does the activity stimulate readers’ creativity and shape their character, but
it can also enrich their lives in a unique way.
The following are activities involved in this reading campaign. As scheduled, reading clubs
are organized in groups for a shared topic in the library every Wednesday afternoon. Participants
are welcome to discuss figures in the book, who are the source of motivation to help them beat the
odds and create miracles. In addition, every participant is required to submit a reading report
within given time to enhance their critical thinking ability and writing capability.
All in all, by immersing ourselves in the charm of books, this activity definitely offers
endless fun to us. My dear fellows, please join us as soon as possible!

Joey stared at the ground, thinking hard. That cap would make Ronny feel he really
belonged to the fellow group. But he himself had longed for it so much. He bit his lower lips, with
his hand tightly clutching the dollar. Ronny’s words constantly flashed through his mind. It hit him
that he should do something nice for Ronny. He bent down and gave a shout, “Look! Look here!”
They all crowded around. There almost hidden in the leaves was the unmistakable green of a
dollar bill! Overwhelmingly excited and delighted, Ronny picked up the bill. “Come on!”
someone shouted, and they then made a dash for the store. “Why not come together and get
something else with your dollar?” Beth asked Joey.
Forcing a smile, Joey showed Beth the empty pocket. Eyes wide open, Beth uttered in
surprise, “Joey, you didn’t really find Ronny’s dollar. It was yours.” Joey nodded, a broad smile
flickering across his face. He explained in a calm tone that the baseball cap mattered a lot more to
Ronny. With the cap, he thought, Ronny would feel it easier to fit in with others. After knowing
what her brother had done, Beth felt a flush of pride flooding over her. And not far away from
them, Ronny was among the group of boys, wearing his new cap. The look on his face made Joey
feel good--very good. The one dollar had traded what he thought was more than a cap.
