4.My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron,N.C., and set off for Baltimore to apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company. When asked what he wanted to do, he said,"Everything." He explained that his goal was to learn every job in the factory. He＇d like to go to a department and find out what was done there. When the supervisor determined his work was as good as anyone else＇s, he＇d want to go to a different department and start over. The personnel people agreed to this unusual request, and by the time H.T.Morris was 20, he＇d made his way through the huge factory and was working in experimental design for a fantastic salary. Whenever he went to a new department, he looked for the guys who had been around forever. These were the people novices usually avoided, afraid that next to them they＇d look like the beginners they were. My father asked them every question he could think of. They liked this inquisitive young man and showed him shortcuts they had developed that no one else had ever asked about. These sages became his mentors. Whatever your goals, plan to network with those who know more than you. Model your efforts on theirs, adjusting and improving as you go. 问题：The veteran workers in the factory liked the author＇s father because the young man was ( )
A.willing to look like a beginner
B.trying to avoid being around forever
C.interested in his mentors

5.You don＇t have to set up a foundation or spend hours raising money to help the environment.Joey Gordon-Levitt,16,does his part by simply collecting his newspapers,plastic,and cans-and have them recycled."Everyone should recycle,"the teen star says.Singer and actor Better Midler goes a step further-She picks up other people＇s garbage.For example,Midler has helped remove truckloads of trash from Fort Tryon Park in New York City.Such simple efforts at trash collection and reduction are catching on.Last year,the Environmental Protection Agency counted 7,500 recycling programs in the US. That＇s up from just 1,000 programs in 1988.Almost half of the country＇s population now lives in towns and cities with curbside recycling.So we＇re on the right track to reducing trash.But we still have a long way to go.In 1994, about 40% of paper products and plastic soda bottles produced in this country were recycled. But only 2% of food packaging was recovered!We also have to work on creating more demand for recycled material.You can help by checking labels-and buying products made from recovered paper, plastic,and metal.Recycling saves resources like water and trees,and cuts down on air pollution.So what are you waiting for?Get to work taking care of our "rock.""If we don＇t,we＇ll all have to move to Mars,"says Gordon-Levitt."The only problem is that we don＇t know how to do that yet!" 问题： What is unusual about Better Midler?
A.she urges other people to take their garbage out of the city
B.she collects newspapers, plastic and cans like Gordon-Levitt
C.She picks up other peoples trash
D.She helps the environment
