选修六 Unit 4 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Since 1985, Johnny Jennings, 86, has been selling newspapers and magazines to a recycling center with his son.By the time Jennings’ only child was 17, he stopped joining his father.Even though his son is all grown up now, Jennings hasn’t slowed down his efforts.In fact, he has turned his recycling money into something bigger. The Ringgold, Georgia native visits local churches and businesses to collect paper, which he brings to a recycling center for money.But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account, he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes Family Ministries.Once a year, he’ll give the organization a check somewhere between $10,000 and $35,000.By 2016, that tallied up to $400,000. These days, Jennings’ recycling has turned into a community effort.After he has made his own rounds recycling paper from businesses and churches, he’ll find more items waiting for him at home.Community members drop off other recyclables at his house so he can sell them, along with books, food, clothes, and other items to give away. Recycling centers typically pay just one-half to three cents per pound of paper, but Jennings’ visits have added up the big time.In 2016 alone, he sold more than 400,000 pounds of paper and 51,000 aluminum cans (铝罐), and collected more than 32,000 pennies.Over the course of 32 years he has recycled more than 9.8 million pounds of paper, saving an estimated 79,000 trees in the process. Jennings says he’ll continue raising money for charity as long as his health allows. 语篇解读：文章讲述了乐于助人的Johnny Jennings常年回收废旧物品资助慈善机构的故事。 1．How old was Johnny Jennings when he started recycling?
