Then he takes the long walk back home and uses this 38 water for drinking, cooking and washing. This has become the daily life for millions of people in southwest China. The people in this area are suffering from a 39 water shortage caused by drought(干旱). Almost 25 million people are affected by the drought. Most of them are farmers who live in rural areas. The government is helping the people by 40 fresh drinking water. But without rain, the farmers will not be able to grow crops and feed animals. Some scientists say, “Because of the climate 41 , droughts will become more often in China and in other parts of the world.” This tells us how important fresh water is. Shanghai has 42 rain and water. So we shouldnt complain as we stand under our umbrellas and look up at another rain-filled sky this spring.

It quickly became very popular in the United States. There are several r 66 for this. It is larger than most of cars. It can carry lots of people, bicycles, toys, dogs and other things. This makes it popular with families. It also has four doors and a big back door, so getting in or out is e 67 . Since an SUV is taller than most cars, the driver can see above other cars and have a better sight of the road. With a lot more p 68 , an SUV can go faster than most cars. It can also go on very rough roads where other cars cannot go.The SUV is popular with many people, but other people do not like these cars. First, they are larger than most other cars. This means that drivers of other cars may not be able to see the road w 69 . Also, SUVs are very heavy. If an SUV gets into an accident with a small car, the small car may be in serious trouble. A_70_ problem with SUVs is that they are very expensive. They are expensive to buy - about 50 percent more expensive than an average small car. They are also expensive to use, since they use a lot more gasoline(汽油) than smaller cars. There are two ways to solve these problems. One way is to change the way we think about them. Now they are sold as large cars. In the future, maybe they should be sold as trucks. Then people with just a car license(执照) could not d 71 them. They would have to get a truck license. These licenses are more expensive and difficult to get, so p 72 fewer people would buy SUVs. The other way to solve SUV problems is to make them differently. Some people think that car companies should make big SUVs smaller and less dangerous. They should also make SUVs with less powerful engines. Then they would not use so much gasoline.D.
