managed to use less water in 2007 than in 1974 even though the city grew by l 2 million souls in this period Across the country nearly 20 of all households have water tanks That would probably be due in large part to the various state governments offering generous rebates In NSW for example where 24 000 households have taken up the offer you can get 1 500 AUD back if you fix a 7 000 litre tank and

family Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager He joined the army and devoted himself to writing Mo s novels were translated into several languages For more than a century Nobel Prize has been regarded by the world as recognition to an individual or even a nation s cultural and scientific advances I think the reason why I could win the prize is that my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics and they also tell stones from a viewpoint of common human beings which transcends 超越 differences of nations and races Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown such as paper cuts and traditional new year paintings have inspired and influenced his novels Mo s prize may give powerful

and decided he could use his love of origami art to help the hospital raise money for muchneeded programs 7 So at the age of 13 Turner began making origami greeting cards and selling them to florists and book stores to benefit the hospital His fundraising program known as Heartbeats for Kids has since raised more than 2 500 for the hospital The first cards I made had a heart in them and you could

Awards for his service activities for the community including the Heartbeats for Kids project In the process of his volunteer efforts Turner also managed to be one of the only 381 youths in the country to earn the top score of 2 400 points on his SAT test Making and selling the greeting cards has taught Turner about managing a small business but the most important thing Turner learns is that the cards benefits not only the hospital but also the people who buy the cards or get the cards which is a way to bring people together 64 Turner s original purpose of making and selling his cards was
