An old man was sitting on the sofa with Mike, his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a dove landed on the ground.
The father asked his son, “What is this？”
The son replied, “It is a dove.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this？” The son said, “Father, I have just told you. It’s a dove. ”After a little while, the old father asked his son for the third time, “What is this？” This time Make could not control his anger and shouted, “It’s a dove, a dove. Why do you keep asking me the same question and again？I have told you so many times. ‘IT IS A DOVE！’ Don’t you understand this？”The old man silently took out an old diary, turned to a page and showed it to Mike. Though a little impatient（不耐烦）, Mike began to read it.
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a dove landed on the ground, and my son asked me what it was. I smiled at him, said it was a dove and hugged him. After a while Mike ask
ed me again and I did the same. Pointing to the same dove, little Mike asked me what it was 23 times and I kept on answering his question and hugging him every time. ” Something gently touched Mike’s heart. His face turned red with shame for being so impatient to his father and he hugged him tightly（紧紧地）.

We have found plastic in the ocean and in animals. But for the first time, scientists have found plastic in human poop（粪便）,USA Today reported.
The findings came from a study by scientists from Environment Agency Austria. The researchers followed eight healthy volunteers from different parts of the world. The volunteers wrote down what the
y ate for a week and then provided a stool sample（大便样本）for testing.
Scientists found nine different types of plastic particles（颗粒）in the samples. “The smallest plastic particles are able to enter the bloodstream, the lymphatic system （淋巴系统）,and may even reach the liver（肝脏）”said Philipp Schwabl, who took part in the research.
However, the scientists aren't sure if this plastic is harmful to humans. They're not sure how the plastic got into the volunteers' bodies, either. But most of the volunteers said they drank from plastic bottles and also ate seafood that could include plastic from ocean pollution.
In fact, plastic is everywhere around us. Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste goes into the oceans. There, sunlight and waves break the plastic down to small particles. Most of the particles stay in the ocean. Others can spread into the soil and air. Could plastic in the air fall onto food and get into the human body?
According to USA Today, 90 percent of sea salt sold in the world includes plastic. And even some top water has been found to have plastic particles in it.

13.Paragraph 3 is written to tell us that________
A．plastic particles can be a few different sizes

C．plastic can harm the lymphatic system
D．plastic particles are inside all of us
14.Which is true according to the passage?
A.Scientists are not sure how the plastic got into the volunteers’ bodies
B.Every year, about 9 million tons of plastic waste goes into the ocean
C.All of the plastic particles stay in the ocean
D.Only some top water has not been found to have plastic particles in it.
