The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two choices are 【1】 (nature) gas or electric-powered stoves.

The World Health Organization warns that millions of people 【2】 (suffer) from indoor air pollution at present time, which results from the use of 【3】 (danger) fuels and cook-stoves in the home.

WHO officials say nearly three billion people are 【4】 (able) to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking ，heating and lighting. As a result, more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Most of the deaths are in 【5】 （develop） countries, such as India, China and Latin American countries.

WHO officials say opening a window or door 【6】 （let）out the harmful air will not correct the situation 【7】 will only pollute the outdoors.

Nigel Bruce, 【8】 is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool, says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels 【9】 a more efficient way.

But, this is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use 【10】 (clean) fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances（用具）.

Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week, we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”

Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water-at very high prices.

“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said. The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.

The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

Last year I started to learn t’ at chi in order to improve my health and reduce my stress. It was something new for me, and I found it to be quite difficult, very 【2】 (difference) form anything I’d ever learned before. Small 【3】move） are important in t’ ai chi. I was used to being fast and active ,【4】 to learn t’ ai chi I had to learn patience. Now I’ve found that I’m a much more patient person than before, and t’ ai chi isn’t nearly as difficult as it 【5】(be ) before.

We tend 【6】(like) things we are good at — that’s normal. For example, I’m naturally very good at badminton and tennis, but I’m very had at anything 【7】involves keeping balance, such as skating, skiing and gymnastics. T’ ai chi has 【8】 (great) improved my balance which has been a very good thing for me.

My point is that you can keep 【9】(do) the things you know you’re good at and live in your comfort zone, or you can try something new. If you don’t try new things, you’ll never know what it would be like to try something new. Challenge 【10】 (you). It will definitely pay off in the end.
