A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems.   The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same. The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe.

Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera (霍乱), which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete (竞争) for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan and Iraq.

The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.

25、   One afternoon of a cold winter day, the sun came out after a long snowstorm. Two children have stayed in the house for the whole day, so they asked their mother if they could run out and play in the snow in their garden. The elder child was a little beautiful girl, called Violet. Her brother was Peony. He has a round little face, which made everybody think of sunshine. The father of these two children, Mr. Lindsey, was an excellent man who ran his own business in hardware (五金). With a heart about as soft as other people's, he had a head as hard and empty as one of the iron pots (锅) which was a part of his business to sell. The mother, on the other hand, was a beauty. She looked young. She was like a fine flower. The flower had something from her younger life, and still kept itself alive in her motherhood.

So, Violet and Peony, asked their mother to let them run out and play in the new snow. The snow looked so lonely falling down from the gray sky. It had a very cheerful part anyway. That was the sun was shining on it. The children who lived in a city had no wider place to play. They had to play in a little garden before the house.

The garden was divided by a white fence from the street and overshadowed (笼罩) by a pear tree and two or three apple trees. Some rose bushes were in front of the windows of the living room. The trees, however, were now leafless, and their twigs (枝条) were covered in the light snow. This made a kind of wintry leaves.

A.In the house. B.In the garden. C.In the room

【2】What did the two children's father do? ________

A.A business man. B.A hardware man. C.An iron pot maker.

B.The trees in the garden.

C.The cold winter weather.

【5】Which of the following is TRUE? ________

A.The father was a bright man.

B.The children in the city had a big garden.

C.Violet and Peony were excited to see the sunshine.

26、   You may have wondered why there are fish tanks (at many doctor's and dentist's offices.Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful with the help of fish tanks.Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡声) from the fish tanks,their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there.

The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed.For this reason,places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind.Even a small tabletop fountain (喷泉) can make a workspace more relaxing.Unlike loud noises,repeated natural sounds remind us that everything is OK." These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,"said Orfeu Buxton,a professor at Pennsylvania State University." It seems like they are saying,' Don't worry ;don't worry ;don't worry."

Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space,a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside.I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace.I enjoy the fountain even when I'm not working at home.

If you want to have an indoor fountain too,there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale,which may cost you a lot.You can try making one yourself,using some inexpensive materials,like I did.And you will always keep it around ---- 1,000 doctor's offices can't be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water.

28、   It's as hard to be a good father as it is to be a good mother﹣maybe harder．

Does Father's Day cause anxiety （紧张）？ Does it make you wish you had a better relationship with your own father﹣or with your own children？ Was your father your friend？ Your e 【1】？ Or was he just a man doing his best？

Some men are excellent dads but they are not the ones you'll see on posters for Father's Day： they are not the smiling men full of energy， but i 【2】，they are the tired and underpaid （薪水不高的）men．

My good father was one of those exhausted men． He spent 12hours working hard every day w 【3】complaint so that we could live in a house and not in an apartment． I never thought he would  show up at school plays I was in or attend the award events． Although my father didn't feel it necessary to be p 【4】to show his support， he encouraged me whole﹣heartedly． I a 【5】his encouragement in the way he offered it and learned to play in public； it wasn't his applause （掌声）I was looking for， after all， because I knew I already had it． To him， I had nothing to prove．

A good father loves unconditionally （无条件地）and allows you to understand him by actions． A b【6】dad always tells you your success is his success， your failure is his failure and he's not there as a support or a guide but as a j 【7】． To my great father， I want to say "Thank you for what you've given us and all you've done．"
