13．A young ensign （海軍少尉） was given the opportunity to prepare his ship to"set sail"．Soon the ship was driven slowly out of the channel．The ensign's efficiency was remarkable．In fact，the talk was that he had set a new record for getting the ship underway．Later he was handed a radio message from the captain．

3．In the past 15years，Chad Pregracke has helped pull more than 67，000tires from the Mississippi River and other waterways across the United States．
But that's just scratching the surface．He's also helped retrieve 218washing machines，19tractors，12hot tubs，four pianos and almost 1，000refrigerators．
For Pregracke，removing this debris-pieces of wood，metal，brick，etc．-has become his life's work．Sometimes called"The Rivers'Garbageman"，he lives on a barge （駁船） about nine months out of the year with members of his 12-person crew．Together，they organize community cleanups along rivers across the country．
It's a dirty job，but Pregracke took it on because he realized that no one was doing it．It began as a solo （獨(dú)自的） effort，and over the years his energy and enthusiasm have helped it grow．To date，about 70，000volunteers have joined him，helping collect more than 7million pounds of debris through his nonprofit．
Pregracke grew up in East Moline，Illinois，where the Mississippi River was in his backyard．As a teenager，he worked as a commercial shell diver and began to notice the heaps of debris in the waterway-one that supplies drinking water to 18million people in more than 50U．S．cities．
"I saw thousands of barrels，thousands of tires，cars，trucks and tops of school buses…I got sick of seeing it and just wanted to do something about it，"he said．
Pregracke got a small fund from a company in 1997and spent that summer cleaning a 35-mile stretch of the river by himself．He would transport the trash by boat and sort it on his parents'lawn to be recycled．By year's end，he had single-handedly pulled around 45，000pounds of trash out of the river．
His nonprofit now has a fleet of boats．And while he has resources and know-how，he depends on each community he visits to supply the manpower needed to get the job done．
At the cleanup sites，Pregracke's humor creates cheerful atmosphere-something he knows is necessary for the work that they do．His team uses motivational speeches and music to get the volunteers amped up （陶醉）．
"We do everything in our power to get people excited about it，"Pregracke said．"We want people to leave feeling good about what they did so they'll contribute more here．"
Pregracke views his work as a different kind of service to the country．
"A lot of people call me a conservationist or an environmentalist，but the thing is I'm no different than anybody else，"he said．
Ultimately，Pregracke believes his story is proof that anyone can make a difference：
"If I had one thing to say，it wouldn't even be about rivers necessarily．It would be about finding a cause that's dear to you and taking action．"
67．What initially caused Pregracke to clean up the waterway？D
A．People's ignorance of the debris at the bottom of the river．
B．His ambition to become famous throughout the country．
C．Safety problems of sailing boats along the Mississippi．
D．His bad feeling about the source of the drinking water．
68．What can we learn about Pregracke from the passage？A
A．He maintains his cause with the help from society．
B．He aims at recycling what have been found in rivers．
C．He makes a living by cleaning waterways all over the country．
D．He thinks of himself as a conservationist or environmentalist．
69．Why does Pregracke try to create a cheerful atmosphere at the cleanup sites？B
A．To make the heavy job lighter．
B．To attract the volunteers back．
C．To increase efficiency in the job．
D．To get the participants'motivated．
70．Through his efforts，Pregracke wants to displayB．
A．his love for waterways                   
B．his value to society
C．his attitude to environment                 
D．his capacity for working．

6．Some say that madness and genius （天才） often come hand in hand．This is especially true of the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh．
Van Gogh is famous for （16）his amazing use of color and shape．Born in 1853，he was painting at a time when art was changing．A long time ago，artists tried to make their paintings look real like photographs．（17）But later on，art became more about the artist's own ideas．If you see a Van Gogh，it won't look like the real world．It will look even （18）more beautiful （beautiful）．
Some of Van Gogh's most famous paintings are of natural scenes and flowers，such as Sunflowers．He also painted many wonderful self-portraits （自畫(huà)像），（19）which brought him a lot of fame．Van Gogh had a great gift for painting； however，he was a （20）troubled （trouble） man．At one point，he cut off  his own ear．
Van Gogh is now one of the world's most famous artists．But he died at the age of 37，alone and poor．Almost （21）nobody knew or cared about his art at that time．Although he was a great genius，he suffered （22）greatly （great）．Some say that his madness was （23）what he paid for his art．
Actually，if Van Gogh （24）had died（die） at the age of twenty，no one would have connected him with failure or mental illness．Instead he would have been remembered by those close to him （25）as a dutiful son．
