[2020·福建三校联考]The things that kids choose to play with can affect our earth.

The manufacturing of toys and games can produce harmful pollution and

non­biodegradable waste, which is harmful for our planet. But some toymakers are

creating items for kids that aim higher. They use natural or non­harmful materials,

and find ways to reuse and recycle. Toys and kits (成套工具) can also teach kids about

environmentally friendly solutions. Here are a few of our favorite low­impact, fun

toys.

Test the water

Water is the earth's most precious natural resource. Many people take it for

granted, but not everybody in the world has access to clean water. Learn about the

science behind one solution with Thames & Kosmos' Global Water Quality Experiment

Kit. The kit comes with tools and instructions for conducting eight important

experiments including testing the quality of water and making dirty water cleaner.

($15)

Plant tomatoes

When communities in dry, desert regions experience drought, it impacts their

agricultural practices. Learn about water preservation and grow delicious cherry

tomatoes with Back to the Roots Self­Watering Tomato Planter. It features technology

that African desert farmers have been using for thousands of years: a miniature clay

pot releases water, but only when the surrounding soil has dried up. ($30)

Draw with veggies word

- 2 - / 20 Wee Can Too's Veggie Sidewalk Chalk is made from fruit and vegetable powders —

it's practically safe to eat ! The chalk, created using environmentally friendly

ingredients, has none of the chemicals found in your typical sidewalk chalk. When

the rain comes and washes away your masterpiece, no harmful pollutants will be entering

the environment. ($12)

Create with cardboard

When cardboard breaks down in a landfill, it creates methane, a major greenhouse

gas that contributes to global warming. Recycled cardboard can be transformed into

a work of art with the Cardboard Tool Kit from UncommonGoods. The kit comes with 28

reusable parts for fastening cardboard pieces together. Now let your imagination go

wild! ($13)

[2020·海南五校一模]A newly married woman called Gilleece, saying she lost her

wallet at his bar with her wedding ring inside. Gilleece looked through camera videos,

watching the woman's every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside

and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something word

- 3 - / 20 in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar's Facebook page, asking

if anybody knew the guy.

Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17­year­old Prather. Prather admitted

having taken the wallet because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring

but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks (码头) into the

ocean.

Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the

bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living

in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the

police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face

prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police

wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said, “He's

going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.〞

The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather

mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers

burst from the crowd. The wallet's owner immediately dropped the charges against

Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen

he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave

the kid a job at his bar.

“Most people would have given the videos to the police, but he chose to help

me，〞 Prather told CBS News.

4．What happened to the newly married woman?

A．She lost the wallet at the bar.
