It seems 46 that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water . Why ? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we 47 drink or use for watering plants . Man can only drink and use the 3% of the water that comes from rivers and lakes . And we can” t even use all of that , 48 some of it has been dirty . Now more water is needed . The problem is : Can we avoid（避免） a serious water shortage later on ?

Once , his father and uncle had just returned to their family in Venice after a long journey . They talked about strange and beautiful lands in the East . They brought back gold and jewels . Shortly after , the Polo brothers asked him to take a trip with them to the East . So it was how Marco Polo” s journey began . During three years of traveling to the Far East , he saw sights that were almost unbelievable to a boy from Italy . He met people who had strange ways of living . Some spoke languages that he did not even understand . At last they reached China . This was in the year 1275 . The emperor made a great feast in honour of（招待） the Polos and asked Marco to live in his court（庭院） . Marco Polo learned to read , write and speak new languages . Once the emperor sent him to distant western and southern part of his empire . Marco Polo was given many soldiers and servants for his journey . Marco saw paper made by the Chinese . People in China had also discovered how to pint on paper , they had many books and even used paper money ! They burned little black rocks for heat . After three years , he wrote a book about his travels , which most people in Europe did not believe . But many years later the world knew that this man had discovered a great Eastern country . 56.

If she had been born 20 years earlier , she would probable have died at once . She needed two operations , but she survived without serious damage . Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature（早产） babies died . Today , doctors manage to save four out of every five , because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies . But saving Christie” s life cost more than 400,000 . In some cases , doctors spend 1 million saving a single child . The parents usually don”t have enough money to pay . Either the government , an insurance company or the hospital picks up（支付） the bill . Even after a baby goes home from the hospital , it may require medical care . Some people think it makes more sense（更合乎逻辑） to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby .

It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine along the way . It talked with worms . It found lots of different pieces , but none of them fit . So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece . Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly . The circle put the missing piece into itself . It could be whole with nothing missing . It was so happy and began to roll . Now that it was a perfect circle , it could roll very fast , too fast to see flowers or talk to worms . It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly . It felt so sad that it stopped , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly . Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something . A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways . He will never have hopes , dreams or something better . He will never know someone is loving him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had .
