The world is not hungry，but it's thirsty．   (1)  __ Why？Because about 97% of the water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or water plants directly．Man can only drink and use 3% of the water comes from rivers and lakes．  (1)  ，because some of it has been polluted．

   Now more water is needed．The problem is how we can avoid a serious water shortage in the future．  (3)__    Scientists are making study in this field．Today，in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers，but it can be used again．Even if every large city reuses its water，the water will still not be enough.   (2)  

   The sea seems to give us the best answer．There is a lot of water in the sea．All that need to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water．This will be expensive，but it has already been used in many parts of the world．  (3)   So you see，if we can find out a way，we'll be in no danger of drying up．

Nearly every parent says that we never grow up. In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old.

In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them.

Most parents always think that they have offered the best things they can to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can to their dear little children. In return, they only want their little boy to give them good results in the examinations.

But why children still can’t understand them? Why? Does it mean that they still want more material(物质)things. No. As a matter of fact, what they want is a true family. What does a true family mean? I think it means a place where we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, we can get consolation(安慰), and we can get happiness. And one important thing is that we should be stronger and more confident in the outside world because we know that we have a family.

So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their child. Let them know that they have a true family, so the child and his parents could understand each other more and more. Then, no boy will be regarded as a little boy.

New York, London, Paris and other big cities are exciting places to live in. There are many good things to see and do. You can go to different kinds of museums, plays and movies. And it’s easy to get to these places by bus, taxi and subway. ① You can also buy things from all over the world.

  But there are serious(严重的) problems in big cities too. It’s expensive to live there. A kilo of potatoes may cost 2-3 euros (about 20-30 RMB) in France. With that money, we can have a good meal in a nice restaurant in China. And ② many, there, people, big, are, too, cities, in. Every year many people move to(流向) the cities to find jobs, to study at good schools and get good medical care (医学救护). So you have to wait in line when you go to many places. Living in these big cities, sometimes you may find it difficult to get a job or find a good apartment to live in. Also it is hard to keep the cities safe(安全) and clean.

​ My father used to work in the city and seldom stayed at home. But he would come b  86   to help harvest rice every year.

One autumn, he promised to help our neighbor, who lost his a   87     in a traffic accident in 1999 to harvest his rice. After Father harvested our own, his little rice picker broke. What’s worse, he had to return to work the next day b   88    his partner was ill in hospital. It m   89    that Father wouldn’t be back in a few days. It now seemed i   90    to help out the neighbor.

Father told us that he wouldn’t let the n   91    rice rot (糜烂) in the field. He decided to harvest it by hand w   92    a machine. “If tonight’s weather is clear, I think I can do it.” added my father. In fact, he was rather tired after a day’s harvest work.

After dinner, Father had a short rest and made his way to the field. A f   93   moon was glowing in the sky and the weather was cold but clear. He spent the whole night k   94   his word.

I would never f   95    the image：Father was cutting rice in the light of the harvest moon. Behind him, row after row of rice stocks stood at attention, showing respect for a man who kept his word.
