March 20th is World Water Day every year. According to a report from the United Nations, more than half of the world's major rivers have serious water loss and are polluted.

The Yellow River, the world's fifth longest river, watered some of the oldest farms on earth.

1.Its source（源頭）on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is drying up. In most of the past 35 years, it didn't reach the sea.

The Nile in Egypt, running 6, 650 km, is the longest river in the world.2.Now it is down to 2 billion m³ or so. Australia's Murray River reaches the sea only every other year. One fifth of America's Rio Grande has no water, either.

3.

Mostly it’s damming（筑壩）and global warming that make rivers dry.4.Now about 45, 000 of them lie across the world’s rivers. They hold back around 15% of the world's fresh water from running to the sea.

5.Warmer weather takes water away. The glacier（冰川）are becoming smaller. The source of the Yellow River is drying up because of it. Global warming has had certain effects on water sources. Droughts （干旱） happening around the world make people pay more attention to this fact.

A. Dams provide fields with water and make power.
 

B. How does it happen?
 

C. It used to carry 32 billion m³ of water a year.
 

D. But now it has a serious problem.
 

E. Global warming is making things worse.

Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was showed in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her help as for her acting.

Three months after Shang Hai (not his real name) began studying at an American high school, he received an e-mail of dismissal*. The academic performance*of the Chinese boy was poor–he had got grades C and D (A is the best)

Shang is not alone. In the first half of 2014, the number of Chinese students studying in the US has increased to 275,000. But according to China Youth Daily, about 5 percent of Chinese students in US colleges are unable to graduate.

They are being sent back home because their grades are not good enough (62.1%), they cheat, such as copying other students’ work (21.4%), and they have poor class attendance* (10.9%).

These appear to be not from a lack of intelligence*, but a lack of discipline*, said the report. The situation has been getting worse since more Chinese students are studying in foreign countries at younger ages. According to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the number of Chinese students studying in US private high schools has increased from 65 in 2005 to 23,795 in 2013.

Far away from their parents, some students are said to spend a lot of time chatting with friends, going to parties, and playing online games.

There are also great language problems. Although they have to pass language tests to study abroad, daily communication is still hard for many Chinese overseas students, according to research at Indiana University in 2013.

Because of this, many of them just stick with other Chinese students. They don’t often take part in sporting events or study groups. And some could only catch bits of information during classes, said the research.

1.Some Chinese overseas students spend lots of time ________.

A. playing online games B. doing sports

C. chatting with parents D. visiting American friends

2.Many Chinese overseas students stick with Chinese students because ________.

A. they are too young B. they have language problems

C. they don’t like American lifestyle D. they miss their family in China

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. More Chinese students study in foreign countries at older ages.

B. The number of Chinese students studying in American has fallen since 2013.

C. A lots of Chinese students take part in sporting events while they are studying abroad.

D. About 5% of Chinese students in American colleges may not be able to get the degree.

4.Why were some Chinese overseas students sent back home?
