5．This is a true story that happened in Japan．In order torenorate the house，a Japanese tore open the walls．Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls．When tearing down the walls，he found that there was a lizard（蜥蜴） stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet．He saw this，feeling pity and curious．When he checked the nail，he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built．
What happened？The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years!It has been in a dark wall partition（夹层） for 10 years without moving!Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed!So he stopped his work and observed the lizard：What has it been doing？What and how has it been eating？Later，he didn't know from where another lizard appeared，with food in its mouth．Ah!He was astonished and touched deeply．The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years．
Such love，a beautiful love!Such love happened with this tiny creature．What can love do？It can do wonders!Just think about it：one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years，without giving up hope on its partner．If a small creature like a lizard can love like this，just imagine how we can love if we try．

2．Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways．You may wonder how paving（铺砌） a road can lead to less useable fresh water．A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater．Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers．It come from underground．The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater．
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages（短缺）．Driver climates are of course more likely to have droughts（干旱） than areas with more rainfall，but in any case，good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs．
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too．In the United States，a family of four can use 1.5tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live，but there's a lot we can do to lower the number．
You can take steps to save water in your home．To start with，use the same glass for your drinking water all day．Wash it only once a day．Run your dishwasher （洗碗机）only when it is full．Help your parents fix any leaks in your home．You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away．

60．Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater？C
A．Using river water．
B．Throwing batteries away．
C．paving parking lots．
D．Throwing rubbish into lakes．
61．What can be inferred from the text？B
A．All water shortages are due to human behavior．
B．It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs．
C．There is much we can do to reduce family size．
D．The average family in America makes proper use of water．
62．The last paragraph is intended toD．
A．show us how to fix leaks at home 
B．tell us how to run a dishwasher
C．prove what drinking glass is best for us 
D．suggest what we do to save water at home
63．The text is mainly aboutD．
A．Why paving roads reduces our water 
B．how much we depend on water to live
C．why droughts occur more in dry climates
D．how human activity affects our water supply．
