  The date was like any other day in his life. After school Bill walked past the shop on the street corner (角 落) . He stopped to look at the front row of the shoes. And he felt sorry for himself. He really wanted to have a new pair for his birthday.

  Some parents are used to doing almost everything for their children. They see their older children as babies!It can be a very common problem in China,because most parents only have one child in China. Some parents care so much about the safety of their children that they are afraid to let them go anywhere or do anything by themselves. So their children fail to learn social skills and become more dependent on (依賴于) them!

   In fact,no children really enjoy being looked after by their parents all the time. No parents would be happy knowing that. Because of too much care,their children don't know anything about the world. Children need their own time to grow into adults and to learn how to deal with problems. Too much care damages (損 害) their fun when they are growing up. And when suddenly they can't depend on their parents,these children will be in big trouble!

   It is nice that parents show their care to their children. It is nice that children know that their parents’ care is out of love. And it will be nicer if the children let their parents know how much love they really need and how much love is too much.

  Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana (加納) ，Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning,she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.

   Earth Day is on April 22. But on all other days?we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource (自然資源) on the earth.

   Water covers 70% of the earth's surface. But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface.

   You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn’t mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars,factories,farms and homes make our rivers,lakes,and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish,too. Now,34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.

   How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First,they pollute the air. Then,when it rains,the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain,called acid rain (酸雨) ，is also bad for plants,animals and buildings.

   Scientists say that in 30 years,more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water：

   . Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters (升) each month.

   . Leaky taps (漏水的龍頭) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

   . You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half— and you’ll be just as clean.

   . When you wash dishes,don't let the water run.

   . Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn’t full,you’re wasting water!

   A. before she went to school   B. after she finished school

() 5. What's the main idea of the passage?

  If you can speak English,you know a lot of English words. You can read,speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you need to know—the language of the body.

   All over the world,people “talk” with their hands,with their heads and with their eyes. When Japanese people meet,they bow (鞠躬;彎腰) . When Indians meet,they put their hands together. What do American and British people do?

   Americans are more informal (不拘禮節(jié)的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names;they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down,they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

   British people are more reserved (矜持的，緘默的) . They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you something of your home.

   When British and American people meet someone for the first time,they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends,and men kiss women friends. When a man meets a man friend,he just smiles,and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other,or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

  My mother was telling me about how she and her family got their first television when she was a teenager. Of course it was black and white. She said she only watched it at night. She doesn't remember over watching it in the morning or afternoon. When she was young she had only about 3 or 4 different channels (頻道) .Her bothers,sisters and she would sometimes fight (打架) about which channel to watch. But we usually enjoyed the same shows.

   Now we can get hundreds of channels on TV. I can't believe it!There are channels with old films,cooking,fishing and so on. It's surprising!There is a channel for everything. I wonder how much my bothers,my sisters and I would fight if we had hundreds of channels when I was a child. Of course we had only one television set.
