Word travels quickly in the small fishing village of Port Washington. So when Mardy McGarry wanted to build a playground for children with special needs, she knew it wouldn’t take long to bring up interest in the project. But she never expected that a third of the town would roll up their sleeves and use their vacation days to make her dream come true.
"A lot of learning comes through play, " says McGarry, 52, a special education teacher for 28 years. But her students were too often left out. She’d seen the sand of traditional playground stop wheelchairs dead in their tracks.
McGarry started researching play equipment and contacting design firms. The city agreed to give a piece of land. McGarry asked her students for their wish list and specialist for their suggestions.
Her Kiwanis Club came through with $7, 000, and that’s when the mass movement really got started. One woman, Ms Allen, gave $25,000 and had her company match it. Soon smaller businesses were joining in, there were T-shirt sales, a coin drive, and silent donations.
On the first day of construction, two women took the day off to help. A couple in their 80s manned the tool cart. Ten-year-olds sanded surfaces and piled up wood blocks. Those who could operate power tools formed a separate. One team served meals donated from local restaurants and churches.
"It was truly an amazing week, " says McGarry. "The place looked like an anthill. So many people can take ownership of this playground. "
Today, Possibility Playground is one of the most popular places in Ozaukee County. In the finished wonderland, all children play shoulder to shoulder. Here, you see all the children on the same playground having fun. That’s exactly what McGarry imagined...
What did McGarry mean by saying "The place looked like an anthill"?
选项
A、There were many ants in the working place.
B、The playground was very small and crowded.
C、Many groups of people worked on the project.
D、The land of the playground was of poor quality.
答案
C
解析
根据文章第四段内容提到项目开工那天有两个女士请假来帮忙,80多岁的老夫妇,10岁的孩子,操作电动工具的人,当地餐馆,教堂都有参与到项目建设中来。这足以说明有很多人参与到这个项目中来,所以C项最符合题意,故选C。
