smart artists. In fact, it’s nature’s way of correcting careless polluting habits of human beings.
From 1949 to 1967, that beach was used as a dump, a place to collect all kinds of rubbish, things like household waste, old cars and a lot of glass. Then people came to realize that it was not a great idea at all to pollute the beach. An important decision was made. The local government not only moved the dump somewhere else, but also closed the beach, hoping that nature would be able to do something to make things better.
And that’s exactly what happened! During some 30 years that followed, the waves came and went. They hit and washed the trash, turning the glass into very small smooth round pieces. Year by year, the beach started to look different from what it used to be.
In 2002, the beach was bought by the California State Park System, then cleaned up and finally opened to the public under a beautiful name—Glass Beach. Today, Glass Beach has become a popular place to have fun for both locals and tourists, because of its unusual “sand”.

Ⅸ. 任务型阅读：阅读下面短文，根据短文内容, 完成下列各题。（共5小题，计5分） In recent years, many Chinese parents think schooling is the only way for their children to succeed. They pay little attention to teaching their children cultures and customs(风俗). In America, however, most parents just do this in quite a different way. They believe strongly that passing cultures and customs on to their children is important, because these things can stay with children for the rest of their life. Here is what American parents do to help keep cultures and customs.
To begin with, it’s a good idea to have meaningful toys because children often easily fall in love with their first toys, each of which has a story behind it. Then, a parent should also introduce a child to music. Music plays an important part between a child and a language. What else do we think of besides music? Dancing! Of course, there is nothing better than seeing a child enjoy dancing. At the same time teaching a child to cook and enjoy traditional food is also important in keeping cultures and customs alive.
In China, it’s also necessary for parents to pass cultures and customs on to children. The most important thing for those who don’t pay enough attention to it is to change their ideas, which will help them a lot to pass on cultures and customs. It’s really helpful and useful to their children.
