In many small Indian villages, water shortage （短缺）has a direct connection to the life of women. Faculty of Communication and Culture professor Aradhana Parmar once travelled throughout the small villages in the Rajasthan province （省份）in India and found out this

connection. “We think of water as a necessity for drinking, but we don’t think of it as a women’s problem,” said Parmar. “In Rajasthan, water is connected to women’s lives.”

In those villages women have to make a long journey for water. The result has a deep influence on women’s lives. Daughters are forced to give up their education in order to manage the family household in the absence of their mothers, who spend about six hours daily collecting water. The result is that the level of women’s education is now the lowest in the country.

To deal with water shortage, the province got the help of local non-government organizations (NGOs) to use ancient knowledge of rain water collecting. The 5,000-year-old way is building wells to catch rain where it falls, clean and store it.

Parmar and two of her students are spending the winter in India and studying the influence that traditional rain water collecting has on women’s lives. “In this world of water shortage, rain water collecting can help everyone, and things will become better and better.” Parmar said with a smile.

56. What makes Parmar think water has a connection to women’s life?

A. A recent report about some Indian villages.

B. Her experiences in some Indian villages.

C. A study about the life of professors.

D. Her travelling around the world.

57. What’s the result of water shortage in those villages?

A. Women travel to other countries.

B. Nobody manages family household.

C. Many schools have to be shut down.

D. Women’s education level becomes low.

58. The way to deal with water shortage in the text is .

A. to store rain water

B. to ask for help from government

C. to make clean dirty water in the wells

D. to make use of the 5,000-year-old water

59. Which is TRUE according to the text?

A. Daughters have to spend six hours a day at home.

B. It takes mother a whole day to get water every day.

C. Local government order people to learn old knowledge.

D. water shortage is a common problem around the world.

Many animals have died out during the long history of the earth. The

most famous of these animals are dinosaurs. They lived on the earth

millions upon millions of years ago, long before human came into being and

their future seemed safe at that time.

There were many different kinds of dinosaurs and a number of them

used to live in China. The eggs of twenty-five kinds have been found in

Xixia, County, Nanyang, Henan Province. Not long ago a new kind of bird-like dinosaurs was discovered in Chaoyang County, Liaoning Province. When scientists looked into the bones, they were surprised to find that they could not only run like the others but also climb trees. They learnedthis from the way the bones were joined together.

Dinosaurs died out without warning about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think it came after an unexpected happening when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air. Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosaurs to live on any more. Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs died out from the earth in such a short time.

We know many other wild plants, animals, insects and birds are becoming endangered（濒危）. According to a UN report, some 844 species（物种）have died out in the last 500 years.

E

How often do we meet with heavy traffic? How often do we arrive at work or school, tired, angry? 66 But compared to the anger, the real costs of motor car are surprising.

In the last ten years, the number of cars in Britain has gone up by 30%. Road accidents result in over 3000 deaths every year. 25 thousand deaths per year are caused by air pollution. Some kinds of deadly illness are related to the traffic pollution. We all know the cars do harm to us. 67

We have to say that we all make excuses and depend on our cars so much. How to give up? Here are some pieces of advice.

●Use your legs. 68 Leg power can save money and keep you fit and help you live longer And this exercise can cut the risk of heart disease by 50%.

●69 Before you get into the car, think about whether you need to go shopping far away instead of the one around the corner.●Share cars. Share journey with someone else, because it’s much cheaper and kinder to the environment.

●Don’t believe advertisements. The advertisements about fast-driving cars on TV are untrue. The new car won’t make you more attractive. 70

●Take action somehow. There is something we can do about the noise, pollution and danger of traffic. Write to the paper, or go to the city government. Do whichever of the things you can.
