   Ryan Hickman is only seven years old, but he’s already been saving for his college fund with profits he’s making from his recycling business.

When Ryan was three-and-a-half, he went with his dad to the local recycling center and made money from a few bags of cans and bottles. When he learned money can be made from that, Ryan decided recycling was his future.

“We had gone to the center with a couple of bags, and he really loved the actual act of putting all the cans and bottles into the machine and getting the money from it, and that kind of act got him hooked, ” described Damion Hickman, Ryan’s father.

Ryan told his parents that he wanted to give empty plastic bags to all the neighbors and hoped they would save their recyclables for him. Not only did the neighbors save their cans and bottles for Ryan but so did their co-workers, families, and friends. Soon after, Ryan started his own business, Ryan’s Recycling, and has since recycled over 200,000 cans and bottles. Every week, he and his family sort through bags of recyclables and they take them to the local recycling center where they are sorted and weighed.

So far, Ryan has saved more than $ 10,000 for college from his profits and he also sells T-shirts on his website and donates the profits to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach. “For the sea lions to get food and medicine,” he said.

Ryan has an important message for everyone, “If you already recycle, just keep on recycling. If you don’t recycle, start recycling.” Always a great businessman, Ryan added, “If you want to buy one of these T-shirts, it’s $ 13 on ryansreecycling.com.”

【小题1】When did Ryan think of recycling as his future?
A.When he was taken to the recycling center.
B.When he was 3 years old.
C.When he got some rewards for selling T-shirts on his website.
D.When he learned recycled cans and bottles could be sold for money.
【小题2】What did Ryan do when he planned to begin his career?
A.He went to ask his family and neighbors to sell him the used bottles and cans.
B.He gave empty plastic bags to all the neighbors to get their used cans and bottles.
C.He went to the local recycling center first and sold the cans and bottles.
D.He and his family sorted through bags of recyclables of their own.
【小题3】Which of the following words can best describe Ryan based on this passage?
A.Caring and determined.
B.Honest and generous.
C.Independent and energetic.
D.Rich and thoughtful.
