in the passage.
Water shortage
The World Bank reports that 80 countries now have water shortages, while 40% of the more than 2 billion people, have no access to clean water. Fresh water is such a life-or-death issue(问题) in many parts of the world that every eight seconds a child dies from drinking dirty water.
How to save water
Turn off the tap while you brush you teeth in the morning and before bedtime, and you can save up to 8 gallons of water! That adds up to more than 200 gallons a month, enough to fill a huge fish tank that holds 6 small sharks!
Keep your shower under 5 minutes long. In fact, a 5-minute shower uses more water than a person living in poverty in a developing country uses in an entire day.
Fix the leak. If your toilet has a leak, you could be wasting about 200 gallons of water every day. That would be like flushing your toilet more than 50 times for no reason!
We each share responsibility for the sustainable management of our water resources, which means using less water at home, in the workplace, at school, on holidays, on the farm,… everyone, everywhere, every time.

it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG (味精) packets, together with
your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way
of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are
joined together nicely as a piece. In order to make the noodles joined together nicely side by side it needs some
form of wax coating (石蜡涂层) in order to show an attractive instant noodles in front of us. Many people
who enjoy eating instant noodles frequently do not really think too much of it as it seems very normal to
everyone to have it nicely shown in front of us. However, researches have shown that the wax coating on
the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too frequently. It is advisable to have a break
of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles as our body need about 3 days to clear that
layer of wax coating away from our body system. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating
stored in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is stored in our body system for a long period of time.
There are 2 key points to take note while preparing instant noodles:
1) Wash the instant noodles with warm water first, stir it and pour away the water containing the wax
coating.
2) Repeat Step 1 and try to stir the noodles again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before

They are proud of their healthy color when they return home after the holiday. But they also know that a
certain amount of sunshine is good for their bodies and general health.
In ancient Greece people knew about the curing powers of the sun, but this knowledge was lost. At the
end of the nineteenth century a Danish doctor, Niels Finsen, began to study the effect of sunlight on certain
diseases, especially diseases of the skin. He was interested not only in natural sunlight but also in man-made
produced rays. Sunlight began to play a more important part in curing sick people.
A Swiss doctor, Auguste Rollier, made full use of the sun in his hospital at Leysin. Leysin is a small village
high up in the Alps. The position is important, the rays of the sun with the greatest healing power are the
infra-red (红外线的) and ultraviolet (紫外线的) rays; but ultra-violet rays are too easily lost in fog and the
polluted air near industrial towns. Dr. Rollier found that sunlight, fresh air and good food cure a great many
diseases. He was particularly successful in curing certain forms of tuberculosis(结核病) with his"sun-cure".
There were a large number of children in Dr. Rollier"s hospital. He decided to start a school where sick
children could be cured and at the same time continue to learn. It was not long before his school was full.
In winter, wearing only shorts, socks and boots, the children put on their skis after breakfast and left the
hospital. They carried small desks and chairs as well as their school books. Their teacher led them over the
snow until they reached a slope (斜坡)which faced the sun and was free from cold winds. There they set out
their desks and chairs, and school began.
Although they wore hardly any clothes, Rollier"s pupils were very seldom cold. That was because their
bodies were full of energy which they got from the sun. But the doctor knew that sunshine can also be
dangerous. If, for example, tuberculosis is attacking the lungs, unwise sunbathing may do great harm.
Today there is not just one school in the sun. There are several in Switzerland, and since Switzerland is
not the only country which has the right conditions, there are similar schools in other places.

The World Bank,the United Nations and the London School Of Hygiene and Tropica1 Medicine did a study
to urge hand-washing around the world. They found that one million lives could be saved each year if people
washed their hands with soap often. They said that programs to increase hand-washing with soap could be
among the most effective ways to reduce infectious disease.
Doctors say,many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand-washing. These include pinworms
(寄生虫),influenza (流行性感冒),the common cold,hepatitis (肝炎) A,meningitis ( 脑膜炎) and infectious
diarrhea. (腹泻)
Hand--washing destroys germs from other people,animals or objects a person has touched. When people
get bacteria on their hands,they can infect themselves by touching their eyes,nose or mouth. Then these people
can infect other people.
The experts say the easiest way to catch a cold is to touch your nose or eyes after someone nearby has
sneezed or coughed.Another way to become sick is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not
clean. The experts say that hand--washing is especially important before and after preparing food,before eating
and after using the toilet. People should wash their hands after handling animals or animal waste,and after
cleaning a baby.
The experts say it is also a good idea to wash your hands after handling money and after sneezing or
coughing. And it is important to wash your hands often when someone in your home is sick. The experts say
the most effective way to wash your hands is to rub them together while using soap and warm water.They say
you do not have to use special antibacterial soap. Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen
seconds. The rubbing action helps remove germs. Then rinse (冲洗) the hands with water and dry them.

| People who eat at home most of the time have better nutrition than those who go out to eat, a recent study shows. Cornell University professors Lana Hall and Karen Bunch interviewed 3900 people in the survey."People who eat less than 30 percent of their food away from home eat the most nutritiously," they said. "In general, Americans don"t have nutrient deficiencies (营养不良), except for iron and calcium," they reported. They have the opposite problem--over-consumption (过度消耗), especially of fat. The food at many fast food restaurants is often low in vitamins. "People who eat more than 30 percent of total calories away from home eat foods that are generally low in nutrients per calorie," the professors said. More calories and adequate nutrient intake are required to achieve. One of the major health risks is eating too much fat. The professor found than fat consumption became greater as income went up. It also went up in houses where the female worked. This is probably because these people eat more highly processed foods. | |
