to it?

minerals, such as gold, can be also got from the sea, but not by simple evaporation. 3_____ Seaweed (海草)
becomes food of many kinds-even candy, and ice cream-as well as medicine. Believe it or not, fresh water is
another gift from the sea. We can"t drink ocean water. 4_____ But ocean water becomes fresh water when the
salts are removed. In the future, we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water from the sea.
The sea gives us food, fertilizer, minerals, water and other gifts. What do we give the sea? We pollute the
ocean all the time. 5_____ Throwing waste into the ocean is killing off sea life. Yet as the world population
grows, we may need the sea and its gifts more than ever.
We are finally learning that if we destroy our sea, we might also destroy ourselves. Hopefully, it is not too
late. | A. Other gifts from the sea, such as seaweed, can be also got from the sea.

speaking on their phones. Many people say they can"t imagine how they live without a cellphone.
Cellphones play an important role in our daily life, such as keeping in touch with others, calling home or
the police if there is any emergency. Although cellphones can help us a lot, we must think of others when we
use them. Unfortunately, some people do not consider others when using their cellphones. For example, some
cellphone users speak too loudly and discuss personal matters in public places. Some people make phone calls
in the cinema. Some people talk for a long time on the phone while they are driving on the busy road.
Someone"s cellphone will ring during an important meeting. Many people complain about these bad manners.
In their opinion, cellphone users shouldn"t disturb others when they make a call.
Then how to use a cellphone politely in public? The following rules will help you. When you"re in a meeting, watching a movie or having a lesson, you"d better turn off your cellphone. When you get a call and you"re with
friends, try to make the call as short as you can. If you are waiting for an important call, then make sure that
you tell others about this at the beginning of a meeting. It"s rude to scream (尖叫声) or shout on the phone.
