    　　In 2003 Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio．There, she saw an exhibit about how poisonous chemicals affect plants and animals in Lake Erie．She felt she had to act．“The amount of fish that were dying scared(惊吓)me,”she said．

    　　Haggerty learnt that discarded batteries give off poisons into the environment and that recycling was an easy solution(解决方案)．“I think everybody can do it, because everyone uses batteries, and it can make a big difference．”With these words, she began to increase awareness(意识、认识)in her area．

    　　She talked to her county government and school board．She got permission to start a recycling programme in schools as well as the public library, hospital, and churches．With help from her family, friends, and local waste-management officials, she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made an educational video．

    　　Over the past two years, four tons of batteries have been collected．They are sent for recycling on the annual(每年的)hazardous(有害的)waste collection day．

    　　When asked if she feels like a hero because of her work, Haggerty is quite modest．“Not really．Well, maybe for the fish I saved!”she said．

    　　Every year the Gloria Barron Prize honours young Americans aged 8 to 18 who have shown leadership and courage in serving the public and the planet．National Geographic helps fund the award．Each year ten winners receive US＄2,000 each, to help with their education costs or their public service work．

    When the shooting of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was complete, it was much more than a movie wrap-up (结束).
    Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, told The Sunday Times that he’s happy to have the time for romance now filming is over. Emma Watson, who is Hermione Granger in the movies, said she looked forward to “finally being free, being my own person” – a change signaled by her new haircut.
    Daniel Radcliffe, who has been the face of the boy wizard since 2001, said that he “did cry like a little girl” when the last movie finished.
    “It’s like the ending of a relationship,” he told The Vancouver Sun. “There’s a sense of, ‘God, what am I going to do now?’” He said he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”.
    Along with the three actors, Harry Potter fans, now in their late teens, came of age with J.K. Rowling’s characters. For them, the last film isn’t just a goodbye to a decade of magic, but the close of their childhoods.
    “We are the Harry Potter generation,” Canadian Andrea Hill, 19, told The Vancouver Sun. “We started in elementary school, reading about a boy our age who was going through the same things we were going through. We grew up, so did he.”
    For Emily Chahal, an 18-year-old student, the series has been an inspiring journey. “That first book was what started my love of literature. It was the inspiration for everything – really teaching me to appreciate my friends, and to face difficulties with a sense of courage,” she said. “I have a sense of sadness. The end of the movies is kind of the end of my childhood, too.”
    Fortunately, to the delight of die-hard fans, there are many things that keep the boy wizard alive. For example, in June this year, a Harry Potter theme park opened in Florida, US.
    Some schools in the US and UK also have Quidditch teams – players ride broomsticks. “We’re not waiting anymore to see what happens to Harry next,” Hill told The Vancouver Sun. She founded a Quidditch club at Carleton University in Canada. “We’re still engaged in that magical world.”
    【小题1】.
    How did Emma Watson feel when she finished the shooting of the Harry Potter series?

    A．She cried like a little girl.
    B．She was ready to move onto something new.
    C．She was happy to have the time for romance.
    D．She felt it was like the end of a relationship.
    【小题2】.
    . What did Daniel Radcliffe mean by saying he was eager to see “what life holds for him beyond Hogwarts”?
    A．He was bored with life in Hogwarts.
    B．He couldn’t wait to graduate from Hogwarts.
    C．He missed life in Hogwarts now he had left.
    D．He was looking forward to new life out of Hogwarts.
    【小题3】.

    A．the chance to live in a magical world
