Last year, four children waited for their school bus every day for ten minutes, on the same street corner. Old bottles parts of old bikes, and 【小题1】[ˈempti] soda cans could be seen 【小题2】[əˈraʊnd] the bus stop. The trees were brown and had no【小题3】(leaf), and there weren't any flowers at all.
One Friday, one of the children looked at the corner and 【小题4】 (decide) to do something about it. The next Monday, she brought a bag and collected some of the old bottles to recycle. On 【小题5】, she went with her best friend Judy. She spent another ten minutes 【小题6】 (pick) up old bottles, while Judy picked up soda cans and put them in difference bags for recycling. On Wednesday, all the children joined together. The corner become much【小题7】 (clean) than before!
The corner looked better, but it was still ugly. 【小题8】the next day the girl brought some flower seeds. She planted the seeds and watered 【小题9】and watered the trees, too. It only took ten minutes a day but that was enough. A few months later, this corner became a beautiful 【小题10】[‘gɑ:dn] with any flowers and trees.
It only took ten minutes a day. Do you have ten minutes a day to help your city?
