【正文】 and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that sometimes he also took some stones out from our bags, but thought he had just found better samples. We reached the house in the late afternoon. The backpacks were so heavy that we were really tired out when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle39。s backpack was halfempty. Why did you give us so many stones? we asked. I didn39。t. You did, he said, waiting for a while before continuing. You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude（態(tài)度） test today. What do you mean an attitude test? we wanted to know. It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you plained（抱怨） about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something in an attitude of positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks. We did. They were full. I hope you remember this little attitude test. You see, your negative（負(fù)面的） thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things. This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in lifethe power of attitude.（1）A geologist is a person who .

He quickly learned there wasn39。t a simple answer. The boy tried to find it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of cutting down plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011. Cress started the project in his hometown Burlington. Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent. For the year that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to pletely ban plastic straws. After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws. Focusing on straws is one simple step we all could take, Cress says. And it makes me feel that I, as a kid, could make a difference, too.（1）Cress found out that Americans use straws every day.
