题目内容
16.When I was little,I'd see tons of bats flying around streetlights at night in my neighborhood in upstate New York.But I'll never forget the first time when I saw a bat up close.By the time I turned 7,though,I noticed something strange:All the bats in my neighborhood had disappeared,and I wondered why.Then,three years ago,when I was 11and visiting the state fair,I learned what had happened to my town's bats.A disease called"white nose syndrome"had killed 93percent of New York State's bats.I was horrified.Then I wrote a letter to the host of an environmental program on the local radio station,asking if they could do a show on bats.They did!
But I still wanted to find a way to educate people face to face.I reached out to a teacher I had in elementary school and asked if I could make a presentation to her class.I described how bats help farmers by eating crop-damaging insects.It went over so well that other teachers started requesting me.Over the past three years,I've talked in front of everyone from 5-year-olds to senior citizens!Many people think that bats are blind,and that they always carry diseases,but none of that is true.The more I present,the more I notice that I am changing minds.
And while getting people to respect bats is pretty hard,getting them to respect me has been difficult too.When I first applied to host a booth (摊位) at a local street fair,the managers thought I was too young.But I refused to take"no"for an answer.I continued to make my case,and they finally said yes!The best part is,I impressed them so much-100visitors on my first day-that they now invite me back every year.

分析 11岁那年,我参加了国家展览时才知道,小时候在纽约北部看到的成千上万的蝙蝠消失不见的原因,是因为它们被一种叫作"白鼻综合征"的疾病所杀死.
为了保护蝙蝠,我写信给当地的电台请他们做一期有关蝙蝠的节目.不仅如此,我还通过面对面的方式向人们进行蝙蝠知识教育,去改变他们对蝙蝠的看法.
我第一次申请街道展览的陈列亭时,能力受到质疑.但是,最终我那令人印象深刻的说服教育赢得了他们的认可,得到了他们的尊重.
