Pennies(硬幣，零錢)are worth saving. If you find a penny, pick it up, (1) some day you could have a million pennies，like students at a primary school in Logan，Utah！
Eight years ago,a student in Dave Jorgensen's fifth-grade (2) class asked, u What does a million look (3) ？"
Let's (4) it out," he answered, and suggested a penny collection.
Some students emptied (5) piggy banks;some (6) their pocket money, and some hand in their surplus(剩余的)lunch money. And as the shiny copper pile grew,the cents helped them make sense of math. They learned a million pennies weighed (7) than three tons,would pile up over a mile (8) and stretch(伸展）three (9) long,and that they'd need a container capable(能夠)of holding a cubic(立方)yard to hold them.
"Wow!" the students shouted (10) surprise. Does the lowly penny really add up? While not everyone even (11) up a lowly penny, organizations like McDonald's and UNICEF(聯(lián)合國兒童基金會)know its value(價值).They use penny harvests to raise money for (12) from college scholarships(獎學(xué)金）to housing for the homeless.
Last June the students collected the millionth penny. They plan to put a million pennies towards (13) a school in a third-world country. "It started as a math (14) ，" says the headmaster, "and (15) as a lesson in charity."
