5．The writers of murder stories go to a great deal of trouble to keep us guessing right up to the end．In actual fact，people often behave more strangely in real life than they do in stories．
The following advertisement once appeared in a local newspaper："An opportunity to earn $250in a few minutes．A man willing to take chances is wanted for an out-of-the-ordinary job which can be performed only once．"A reader found this offer very generous and applied to the advertiser，but being a bit suspicious，he gave a false name．Soon afterwards，he received a reply．Enclosed in the envelope was a typed note instructing him to ring a certain number if he was still interested．He did so and learned on the telephone that the advertiser wanted him"to get rid of somebody"and would discuss it more fully with him the next day．But the man told the police and from then on acted under their instructions．
The police saw the two men met and watched them as they drove away together．In the car the advertiser came to the point at once：he told the man he wanted him to shoot his wife．The reason he gave was that he was suffering from an incurable disease and wanted to live in a warmer country，but his wife objected to this．Giving the man some money，the advertiser told him to buy a gun and warned him to be careful of the dog which，though it would not bite，might attract attention．He also gave him a photograph of his wife so that he would be able to recognize her，After that，the advertiser suggested that the man should"do the job"next morning．Meanwhile，he would prepare his wife by telling her that a young man was going to call．After the murder，they would meet again outside a railway station and the money would be paid as arranged．The second meeting never took place，for the advertiser was arrested shortly afterwards and charged with attempting to persuade someone to murder his wife．

1．水对我们的日常生活非常重要，没有水一切生物都无法生存．

As we all know，water is very useful and important inour daily life．Without water，all living things can't exist．

I think there are many measures we can take to savewater．For example，we can try our best to wash clothes by hand instead ofwashing machine，for using a washing machine means wasting 3 times as muchwater as by hand．While washingclothes，faces and brushing teeth，we mustn't have the water running all thetime．．

8．A month after Hurricane Katrina，I returned home in New Orleans．There lay my house，reduced to waist-high rains，smelly and dirty．
Before the trip，I'd had my car fixed．When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill，she noticed my Louisiana license plate．"You from New Orleans？"she asked．I said I was，"No charge．"She said，and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．The next day I went for a haircut，and the same thing happened．
As my wife was studying in Florida，we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford while also paying off a mortgage （抵押贷款） on our ruined house．We looked at many places，but none was satisfactory．We'd begun to accept that we'd have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while，when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kennedy in California．He'd read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate，the online magazine and wanted to give us （"no conditions attached"） a new house across the lake from New Orleans．
It sounded too good to be true，but I replied，thanking him for his exceptional generosity，that we had no places to go back．Then a poet at the University of Florida offered to rent his house to me while he went to England on his one-year-paid leave．The rent was rather reasonable．I mentioned the poet's offer to James Kennedy，and the next day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months．
Throughout this painful experience，the kindness of strangers has done much to bring back my faith in humanity．It's almost worth losing your worldly possessions to be reminded that people are really nice when given half a chance．
