At the age of 16, Julia left school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money. Then one day she had a serious car accident which changed her life. "I had a terrible car accident in August 1996. It took me 10 months to recover (康復(fù)) from the accident. During that time, I realized I wanted to find a more meaningful reason for being here in this world," said Julia.

As soon as she recovered, Julia gave up working at the restaurant and traveled to California. One day she found a big company wanted to cut down part of a forest. In the forest there were lots of redwood trees. One of the trees was more than 1 ,000 years old.

Then Julia learned a group called Our Earth was trying to save the redwood forest from the company. They decided to find someone to live in a redwood tree and hoped this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia volunteered.

Julia lived in the tree for over two years without ever going down. It was cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Julia was in the tree.

Finally the company decided to protect the trees Julia lived in. They agreed never to cut down the big redwood tree or the trees around it. When Julia put her feet on the earth, she began to cry. But she continued to do other things to protect the environment.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷正(T)誤(F)。

1.Making money was the only thing Julia took an interest in when she worked at a restaurant.

2.After Julia recovered, she went to protect the environment at once.

4.The life in the tree for Julia was comfortable and enjoyable.

5.Julia understood there were more meaningful things to do from her experiences.
