Imagine one day the water taps (Ë®ÁúÍ·) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn¡¯t enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family¡¯s shower water to use for washing clothes. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

Probably not. But that is what kids in Yemen (Ò²ÃÅ) are experiencing (¾­Àú). According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

Because of the water shortage (¶Ìȱ), the Yemen government often cuts the water supply (¹©Ó¦). Hannan, an 18-year-girl, tells the Teens, ¡°In a good week we¡¯ll have a water supply all week. But then the next week there will be water only for a day or two.¡±

Hannan says only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private (˽È˵Ä) companies own the trucks, They travel around the city every day to sell water--- at very high prices.

¡° A lot of people can¡¯t pay for it,¡± she says.

The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

You probably know you should say¡± please¡± and ¡°thank you ¡± at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can¡¯t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your cars, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn¡¯t have it turned up too high.
Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don¡¯t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don¡¯t have rules,
but is would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn¡¯t make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event?  your would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once is a while it¡¯s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it¡¯s not for you.
It¡¯s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

The baker then took  33   farmer to the judge (·¨¹Ù).

" The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the buttery" The farmer replied, "Before the baker started buying butler from 36 , I had bought bread from him.

When the Audet family turns on the lights at Blue Farm, they are using electricity that comes from cows¡ªcow manure (·à·Ê), to be specific.
Cows produce a lot of wastes. One cow can create 30 gallons of wastes each day. Now imagine the output of over 1,000 cows at Blue Farm. That¡¯s really a big amount.
When farmers clean their barns, they put the wastes in a big heap, and spread some of them on their fields for fertilizer(·ÊÁÏ). But now places like Blue Spruce Farm have a new way of using cow wastes. They use them to produce electricity.
Here¡¯s how it works: A big machine moves back and forth cleaning the barn floor. ¡°The cows aren¡¯t bothered,¡± says Marie Audet. ¡°They are animals of habit; they get used to it, and just lift one foot and then another to let it go by.¡±
The machine pushes the manure into a big 600-gallon tank like a small swimming pool. The tank is called a digester (»¯·à³Ø) because what happens there is just like what happens inside a cow: Bacteria(ϸ¾ú) get to work and continue to digest the manure.
Methane gas (¼×Íé¡¢ÕÓÆø)in the atmosphere is known as a ¡°greenhouse¡± gas because it keeps heat just like a greenhouse does, causing our planet to warm up. That¡¯s an environmental concern. But the digester has a good result. Its gas is kept and used to power electric generators (·¢µç»ú).
At Blue Farm, the generators make enough electricity to power 400 homes. The Audet family sells the extra electricity they can¡¯t use themselves.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿We learn from the text that the Audet family is using cow wastes to ______.
A£®make electricity B£®produce fertilizerC£®build their farm D£®feed the cows
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿How are the cow wastes collected into the digester at Blue Farm?
A£®Marie Audet does the workB£®The job is done by machine
C£®The cows lift the cow wastesD£®Bacteria get to work on them
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿ According to the passage, which of the following is changed into electricity?
A£®The power of moving water. B£®The heat of burning coal.
C£®The power of sunlight.D£®The heat of the methane gas
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿The new way of using cow wastes at Blue Farm might be best described as ______.
A£®reducingB£®savingC£®recyclingD£®changing
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ5¡¿ What is the main purpose for writing the passage?
A£®To introduce a new way of making electricityB£®To explain how a new energy works better
C£®To show a new rebuilding plan for a big farmD£®To explain the reasons for green house effect

The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman,¡°How have you done so much in your lifetime?¡±
He replied,¡°I have   41 .I have turned my mind free to imagine   42  I wanted to do.Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams.In the night I dreamt about my dreams.
And when I awoke in the morning,I saw the way   43  my dreams real.White   44  people were saying,¡®You can¡¯t do that,it is   45 ,¡¯I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted,¡±As Woodrow Wilson,28th President of the U.S.,said:¡°We grow great by dreams.All big men are
  46 .¡±
They see things in the soft fog of a spring day,or in the red fire   47  a long winter¡¯s evening.Some of us   48  these dreams die,but others feed,protect and look after them;keep them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light,it comes   49  to the people who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.
So please,don¡¯t let anyone steal you dreams,  50  try to tell you they are too impossible.
¡°Sing your songs,dream your dreams,and hope your hope.¡±
