   Caroline Solomon was on her high school's swim team. But at times she could not go into the creek(小溪)near her home. It was simply too polluted. "I decided I wanted to do something about it,"she recalls. So she studied environmental science and public policy at Harvard University in Cambridge. Later,she went to graduate school. Some of her classes could be challenging,though,since she couldn't hear her teachers. "I've been deaf since I was 15 months old,"Solomon notes.

Today she teaches biology at Gallaudet University in Washington,DC. She has no trouble communicating with her students. They,too,are primarily deaf or hard of hearing. That's why all classes at Gallaudet are taught in American Sign Language. Solomon also has an active life outside the classroom. She especially enjoys hiking,biking and other activities with her family.

Her research takes her to the Anacostia River. "It is very close to Gallaudet,and I easily bring my students there,"she says. Water running through local forests and marshes drains into this river,so does water running off urban streets,golf courses and industrial sites." The river's watershed(流域)kind of concentrates all the things that happen when humans mess with the natural landscape,"she explains. Not surprisingly,this river has developed a reputation for being quite polluted.

Solomon has been focusing on how pollutants affect tiny organisms that form the base of the river's food web. "I am now looking at the bacteria population," she says,"to see what types there are."

Solomon wants to see more students who are deaf or have other disabilities make a difference in environmental science and other fields. As she often says, "If I can do it, you can do it."

【小题1】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph1 refer to?
A.Solomon's home.
B.Solomon's school.
C.The polluted creek.
D.The local environment.
【小题2】What made Solomon study environmental science?
A.Her teacher's influence.
B.Her physical conditions.
C.Her teenage experience.
D.Her love for swimming.
【小题3】What does Solomon think of disabled students?
A.They should be encouraged to live actively.
B.They can make contributions if they want to.
C.They should be treated differently by others.
D.They can be a burden if they are dependent.
【小题4】In which column can you find this passage?
A.Environment.B.Education.
C.Entertainment.D.Culture.
