5．This is a true story that happened in Japan．In order torenorate the house，a Japanese tore open the walls．Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls．When tearing down the walls，he found that there was a lizard（蜥蜴） stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet．He saw this，feeling pity and curious．When he checked the nail，he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built．
What happened？The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years!It has been in a dark wall partition（夹层） for 10 years without moving!Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step-since its foot was nailed!So he stopped his work and observed the lizard：What has it been doing？What and how has it been eating？Later，he didn't know from where another lizard appeared，with food in its mouth．Ah!He was astonished and touched deeply．The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years．
Such love，a beautiful love!Such love happened with this tiny creature．What can love do？It can do wonders!Just think about it：one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years，without giving up hope on its partner．If a small creature like a lizard can love like this，just imagine how we can love if we try．

2．Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger，but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways．You may wonder how paving（铺砌） a road can lead to less useable fresh water．A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater．Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers．It come from underground．The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater．
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages（短缺）．Driver climates are of course more likely to have droughts（干旱） than areas with more rainfall，but in any case，good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs．
