  • 1、The quiet surface of Mares Pond is suddenly broken by a cry: "Found something!" A swimmer dives down and soon reappears, holding a beer can. It is passed to a kayaker, who raises it like a prize before placing it safely in a basket.

    On a cloudy summer morning, a team of 15 women, all over the age of 65, search the pond for trash. Working in water up to eight feet deep, they recover a surprising variety of objects, including wooden planks (木条) and even a mud-covered fishing rod (竿). Their most impressive find is a long piece of metal, which requires several people to lift onto a kayak.

    Despite the hard work, the women return to shore laughing and sharing jokes about their discoveries. They are members of Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), a group founded in 2017 by Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. What began as a small effort has grown into a regular activity aimed at protecting local ponds. At first, to overcome the fear of dark water and hidden dangers, Baur focused on visible objects underwater. Over time, however, she realized that these "markers" were actually pieces of trash. Determined to make a change, she gathered friends to help clean them up.

    For many members, the activity is not only about environmental protection but also about rediscovering a sense of purpose. Baur believes that being over 65 can be "an age of gratitude," when people appreciate both nature and their own abilities more deeply. She also hopes to challenge the idea that older women are limited by age.

    Although some people question the group's name or suggest including younger members, OLAUG continues to emphasize the strength and value of older women. Through teamwork and determination, they prove that age does not prevent meaningful contribution. Instead, their efforts show that it is never too late to make a difference.

    A、To describe a scene where the team wins a prize. B、To explain how the team carefully carries out trash collection. C、To highlight the excitement of discovering unusual items underwater. D、To present a typical scene from the group's cleaning activity.
    (2)、Why did Susan Baur first use "markers" while swimming?
    A、To check the depth of the water in the pond. B、To search for something valuable in the water. C、To face the fear of the underwater environment. D、To show other people the right way in the water.
    (3)、Which of the following best describes OLAUG?
    A、A group with environmental and social value. B、A business that makes money from recycling. C、A professional environmental protection group. D、A sports club for old women who like swimming.
