Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana, 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 April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource 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. Something must be done to prevent water form be­ing polluted.
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(漏水的龙头) 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!

People often call the plastic bags “white pollution”. 小题1:, it becomes the worst invention for the human. It is reported that it takes 100–200 years to break down the plastic bags completely. However, a 16-year-old high-school Canadian student called Daniel Byrd discovered the way to break down the plastic bags!
The idea of the invention comes from his housework. 小题2: . Every time, when he opens the closet, the plastic bags fly out. This makes him very angry. 小题3: . With his teacher’s help, he found that when he put the two germs（细菌） mixture up and that made the plastic bags break down quickly.
He made an experiment first. He put some earth germs and plastic bags together. After 12 weeks, he found the plastic bags had been broken down. 小题4: . The experiment also showed that the plastic bags could be broken down in three months. And they only gave out some water and little carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Now Byrd has got 30 thousand dollars from his invention. 小题5:. He has also got a lot of award from many universities.

A. So he thinks how to deal with these plastic bags B. Because it is hard to break down C. Then he made another experiment D. He wants to go to college with his money E. He always helps her mother do the housework

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Enjoy the process(过程). Here is a story to tell you why.
One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.
The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass box patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The box was full soon. Then he talked to himself quietly and proudly, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging!”
The boy’s goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working.
Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.
小题1: Is achieving what you expect the most important thing in the passage?
小题2: When did the little boy decide to dig a hole behind his house?
小题3:Why did the older boys begin to laugh at the little boy?
小题4: What did the boy find in the process of digging?
小题5: What does the writer want to tell us?

There was a man. He had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest(探索)in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was far away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly ,bent and weak. The second son said no---it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son said it was laden with blossoms and they smelt so sweet and looked so beautiful. The last son disagreed with all of them. He said it was ripe and drooping（下垂 ）with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.. The man then said to his sons that they were all right, because they each had seen but only one season in the tree’s life. He told them that they cannot judge a tree or a person, by only one season, and that the essence(本质) of who they are---- the pleasure, the joy and love that come from that life---can only be measured at the end （盖棺论定）,when all the seasons are up.    If you give up when it is in winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall. Don’t let the pain of one destroy the joy of all the rest.
小题1:Why did the man sent his sons each on a quest?
小题2:When did the fourth son go?
