17.Here is a story about a young boy in New York.He once went to one of Dr.Jane Goodall's talks and learned about the (41)B expressions of chimpanzees.
When he saw a picture of a chimpanzee on a box of (42)A and it looked like the chimpanzee was grinning (咧嘴笑),the boy(43)B from what he'd learned at Dr.Goodall's talk that the chimpanzee's look was actually one of (44)D.
The boy (45)C to the cookie-maker asking to take the chimpanzee's picture off the box.(46)D receiving a letter back from the company,he saw the picture of the chimpanzee (47)Afrom the box within just a few months.
"I took (48)C,"the boy now says."And the company changed."(49)B it happened that the picture changed,the boy and his family (50)B it was his doing,
As the story shows,young students have much more (51)D to accomplish change than what (52)C may believe.Moreover,students often achieve much more than they ever(53)A they will.
The story also(54)A us that small actions can have a big impact.We often tend to think about (55)B events like Clean and Green Week.Instead,a lot of small changes can make a(n)(56)C.If hundreds or thousands of students (57)A their families to turn off the tap to save water,move the air conditioning temperature up a degree or two,drive less and make other environmentally friendly changes,the (58)D family may change its behaviors.
With these small yet highly (59)C changes,students have an effect beyond just their own actions.Students can (60)B by realizing that their own actions have more power than they may expect,and environmentalists can benefit by taking the time to focus on even the youngest students.
