Two cats were walking through a forest. Suddenly, they found a piece of bread lying under a tree. They caught the piece at the same time. Neither would give up and so they decided to divide it into two pieces and take one piece each. “But how do we divide it?” one cat said.

Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in the Gambia, Africa. As a teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She used a woven basket to carry some goods to sell in the market to raise herself. When the basket broke, she took a plastic bag and started using it. She liked how strong and light the plastic bag was. Other people in the Gambia thought the same and saw the same advantages of plastic bags. Then plastic bags became popular in the Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses in her village were surrounded by rubbish.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change it. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in the Gambia. She educated women in the Gambia to recycle plastic waste. In the beginning, the movement had a task of educating villagers about the need to reuse rubbish and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the rubbish increase behind their homes.
Over time, the movement became big and was able to provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in the Gambia. But the work of collecting rubbish turned out to be difficult. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and hard to take, and after that, it still took patience to dry it before it could be processed.
Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their rubbish behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects knock on your door very quickly—dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”
For many years, Ceesay has continued to deal with the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, DC, the United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others to make a change in their own communities.
44. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to paragraph 1?
A. Ceesay sold plastic bags to support herself. B. Ceesay’s friends were good at doing business.
C. Ceesay didn’t go to school for health reasons. D. Ceesay’s village was polluted by plastic waste.
45. What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement?
A. Women in the village are willing to recycle plastic waste.
B. Few workers are needed to do the recycling work.
C. It improved people’s income and the environment.
D. It mainly wanted to help people become rich.
46. What do we learn from Ceesay’s words?
A. Bad habits are hard to change once formed.
B. Plastic problems lead greatly to climate change.
C. The relationship between neighbors is important.
D. Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility.
47. Ceesay won the TIAW Difference Maker Award in 2012 because of ________.
A. her ability to work on her own B. her idea to help the poor to become rich
C. her efforts in protecting the environment D. her story of becoming popular in the Gambia
C

“To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge（避难所）from almost
all the miseries of life.”
