| The World"s Water Shortage The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you,since nearly 70 percent of the earth"s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers (冰川). Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly - almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tank"s. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying (净化) plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we"d have to do to make use of the vast reserves (贮备) of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we"ll be in no danger of drying up. | |||

| Quitting smoking can be hard. It is much easier not to start at all. One of the reasons that young people smoke is because they think it is cool. Cool people sometimes smoke a lot in movies, but you may not know that in real life some stars like Jackie Chan think smoking is bad. Chan doesn"t think it is cool at all! And sports stars like Yao Ming don"t smoke cigarettes, but they are very cool. Sometimes people start smoking because their friends ask them to do so, or they see other people like their parents doing it and think that it"s OK. But if other people jumped off a bridge, would you follow them? Of course not, Some people think that smoking can stop stress. But there are better ways to beat stress. Exercise is one way. Exercise relaxes your muscles. Next time you feel stressed about school, go for a run! Exercise is also a good way to help you quit smoking if you have already started.
