Carson Kropfl is an inventor， business owner and environmental activist. He enjoys the excitement of surfing. And what？蒺s more， he likes riding his skateboard.
Carson is very hard？鄄working， only a 12？鄄year？鄄old boy. He just completed seventh grade. And， school had a lot to do with the creation of his company. His story proofed that necessity is truly the mother of invention.
Carson had enjoyed skating for years. He liked to use his skateboard to go to some places， including school. But over time， he grew increasingly disappointed that he had no place to store his board once he arrived.
As a student， he could not change the size of his locker. But he realized he might be able to change the shape of his skateboard. And， from that small dream， a business was born.
“I have a skateboard company called Lockerboard and what I do is， I take the recycled boards and reshape them to fit inside of backpacks and lockers.”
Carson first just made a shorter skateboard in the shape of a square for himself. Carson made his first sales in the room where students ate at his school. He put a few skateboards on a table and his schoolmates started buying them up.
The young man says he has now sold about 700 skateboards in two years of operation. His skateboards come in a number of shapes and designs. Each one costs around $100.
“I donate one dollar for every Lockerboard sold to Ocean
Unite because they？蒺re focused on ocean conservation.”
The young business owner says he is not exactly sure what he will do when he grows up. But he sure will stay busy.
“I？蒺m going to be an activist traveling the world， supporting
ocean conservation and how we could protect our earth. And， traveling the world， skating and surfing， because I am an athlete.”

典句赏析
1.He liked to use his skateboard to go to some places， including school. 他喜欢滑着滑板去一些地方，包括学校。
include为动词，意为“包括”，侧重指被包含着整体的一部分。included 是过去分词形式的形容词，在表示“包括……在内”时常放在被修饰的词之后，起着补充说明的作用。本句中including 是现在分词，后面直接接宾语，含有补充说明之意。
【即时尝试】30名乘客受伤，包括5个孩子。
2.Carson made his first sales in the room where students ate at his school.卡森将第一次出售滑板的地方选在了学校餐厅。
这是个复合句，where这里作为关系副词引导定语从句，修饰先行词room，where在从句中作地点状语。
【即时尝试】这就是他曾经住过的房子。
3.The young business owner says he is not exactly sure what he will do when he grows up.这位年轻的企业家表示，他不确定长大后会做什么。
he is not ...grows up为省略that的宾语从句。what引导的也是宾语从句。“be sure 宾语从句”结构，意为“确信某事一定会……”，表示主句主语对宾语从句中涉及的事物所做出的判断。
【即时尝试】我不能确定以前是否见到过她。

卡森·克罗普尔是一位发明家、企业家和环保活动家。他喜欢冲浪的刺激。除了冲浪，他还喜欢玩滑板。
年仅12岁的卡森非常勤奋，刚刚读完七年级。学校和他公司的创办有很大的关系。他的故事证明了需求才是发明之母。
多年来，卡森一直喜欢滑板。他喜欢滑着滑板去一些地方，包括学校。但随着时间的推移，他越来越失望，因为当他到达学校的时候找不到地方存放自己的滑板。
作为一名学生，他无法改变他的储物柜尺寸。但他意识到自己也许可以改变滑板的形状。怀揣这样的小小梦想，一家企业就这样诞生了。
“我有一家名为Lockerboard的滑板公司，主营业务就是把这些滑板回收再利用，并将其重新改造，可放入背包和储物柜。”
首先，卡森为自己定制了一款较短的方形滑板。卡森将第一次出售滑板的地方选在了学校餐厅。他在桌子上放了几块滑板，同学们开始选购。
这位年轻人说，截至目前，他已经在两年内卖出了约700块滑板。他的滑板款式多样，风格各异。每一块的价格约100美元。
“我把滑板卖给专注海洋保护的海洋联合公司，每售出一块就捐一美元。”
这位年轻的企业家表示，他不确定长大后会做什么。但他一定会勤奋不怠。
“我打算成为一名在全球奔走的活动家，支持海洋保护以及如何保护我们的地球。还有，环游世界、玩滑板和冲浪，因为我是一名运动员。”
