Anne Hidalgo，the mayor（市長(zhǎng)） of Paris，F(xiàn)rance，has a goal.She wants to clean the Seine making the river swimmable by 2024 when the city will host the Olympic Games.It is a big task since it has been illegal to swim in the river for nearly100 years.
   Lucky for Hidalgo，11-year-old Raphael is on the case.For almost two years now，Raphael has spent nearly every weekend fishing rubbish out of the river.Working with his dad，it's not unusual for them to catch an entire ton of rubbish in a single day.
   The rubbish can include anything. "I always knew there were things at the bottom of the water，but not to the point of bicycles.Honestly，it did shock me，Raphael said.He's also found some more objects out of the way，including a camera，jewelry，and even a knife from the 1800s.He's also shared them on his Instagram account.
   In January 2020，Raphael and his dad went to a bridge in Western Paris for their first catch.Raphael said， "At first，it was just a leisurely weekend activity.But once I saw just how much garbage was buried there at the bottom of the river it became like a real job."
   Raphael was even awarded the Medal of Paris for his efforts.But he admits that getting people to take action in the fight against pollution has been difficult.There are definitely enough of us wanting to clean up the planet.But when it comes to taking action，hardly anyone does.Even something as simple as picking up cigarette butts and placing them in the trash could make a huge difference.
   Still，he said he was proud of his progress in the last two years.A part of the Seine is now noticeably clearer than the rest of the river.Raphael's not sure if he can make the entire Seine clear by the 2024 Olympics.He does hope he'll be one of the first to swim in the water once it is safe.

1．Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
   Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers，for food，for sport，and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
   Why should people care？Because we need animals.And because once they are gone，there will never be any more.

   For example，when farmers killed large numbers of hawks（鷹），the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why？Because hawks eat mice．With no hawks to keep down their numbers，the mice multiplied quickly.
   Luckily，some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
