13．My brother and I were alone at home because my parents had gone for a meeting and they had left me in charge．I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV．Suddenly the doorbell rang．My younger brother rushed to the door thinking that our parents had come home，he unlocked the door and opened it．
Outside stood a tall man wearing a black raincoat and black rubber boots．He said he was a salesman and asked politely if out mother or father was at home．
Without thinking，my brother said："No．"He asked if we would like to buy some comic books which he was selling．I quickly explained that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parent's permission．
Then，as I was about to close the door，he forced his way into our house．He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother's hands with some rope which he took out form his pocket．I tied up his hands but tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself．The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen．
Soon，the went upstairs to search the bedroom for valuables．I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on the his hands．He then untied me．I rushed to the telephone to call the police， but the line was dead．The doors were all locked from the outside and I did not have the keys to unlock them．Luckily， the robber forgot to lock the kitchen window．My brother managed to get out of the house through the window and I told him to go to the police station nearby and call for help．

11．Although in the 17th century in the United States fine art and folk art had similar qualities，a difference between them began to appear as time went on．In the 18th and 19th centuries artists with ambition studied abroad and came back to paint portraits （肖像） of upper-class families in American society．The less ambitious or less fortunate artists traveled around their own areas and created pictures of countryside society．Anyway，artists got trained and those simple creations improved a lot．
Around 1930，folk art began to take on a new meaning and was considered as an
expression of a small cultural class．Folk art is never the product of art movements，but comes out of craft traditions．This art is based not on measurements or calculations and rarely goes with the standards of realism．It goes straight to the bases of art which the folk artists feel naturally．
The period 1930～1960was the time when folk artists began to receive recognition．They
often began their art careers late in life and used art as an outlet（出口）for their energy．Their materials were cheap and simple，their subjects were different，but their creativity flowed．Doing their own things became the norm（标准），and was what made folk art so desirable．
Although it is hard to define folk art，one thing is certain---it touches us in a special way
because the artists show us how he or she brought beauty into their everyday life．Since folk artists come from all walks of life，each piece of art created is one of a kind，emphasizing （强调） color，simplicity of line and brave，simple form．Most importantly，it represents the history of American life．

4．A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough  water by the year 2025．
A private American organization called Population Action International（PAI） did the new  study．It says more than 335million people lack enough water now．The people live in 28countries．Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East．
PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025，about 3，000million people may lack water．At least 18more countries are expected to have severe water problems．The demand for water keeps increasing．Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same．
Mr．Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world．He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase．
The  report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems．It may increase health problems．Lack of water often means drinking waters is not safe．Mr．Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases，such as cholera which are carried in water．
Lack of water may also result in more international conflict．Countries may have to compete for water in the future．Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries．And the report says lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies．This is because new industries often need large amounts of water when they are beginning．
The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem．One way，it says，is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose．Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water．A third way is to use less water for agriculture．
The report also says long--term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth．
