Water and its importance to human life were the centre of the world’s attention last week. March 22 was World Water Day and 　1 the theme “Water for Life”.

There are more than one billion people in the world who live without 　2 drinking water. The United Nations 　3 to cut this number in half by 2015.

Solving such a big problem seems like a(n) 　4 challenge. But everyone, 　5 　 teenagers, can do something to help. A teenage girl in the US has set an example to the 　6 of her age around the world.

Rene Haggerty, 13, was awarded the 2004 Gloria Barron Prize for her work— 　7 　 discarded(废弃的) batteries（电池）which pollute water.

In 2003, Haggerty went on a field trip to the Great Lakes Science Centre in Ohio. There she saw an exhibit about how 　8 in old batteries harm the water of Lake Erie.

Haggerty learnt that 　9 　the batteries was an easy solution. “I think everybody can do it, because everyone 　　10　 batteries, and it can make a big difference.” With these words, she began to 　11　 awareness in her area.

She 　12 　her county government and school board. She got permission to start a recycling programme in schools 　13 the public library, hospital, and churches. With the help from her family, friends and local waste-management 14 , she gathered containers, arranged transportation, and made a(n) 　15 video.

Over the past two years, she collected four tons of batteries and drew the attention of officials, who were in charge of a battery recycling programme but had made 　16 progress.

When asked 　17 she feels like a hero, Haggerty is quite __18 . “Not really. Well, maybe for the fish I saved!”

Every year the Gloria Barron Prize is 　19 to young Americans aged 8 to 18 who have shown leadership and courage in 　20 the public and the planet. Each year ten winners receive US $ 2,000 each, to help with their education costs or their public service work.

On Easter Day 1722,some European explorers found a lonely island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They 　1 it Easter Island. The explorers found that the island had good soil 　2 the 200 natives living there survived with little food. Even more 　3 , these people also lived among the ruins of what might have been a once great civilization. All that is left of it are around 800 giant stone statues 　4 human heads. They 　5 up to 270 tons and the tallest measures over 11 metres. The stone men face 　6 , rather than out to sea, and their eyes are focused upon the sky. They are all carved from 　7 volcanic rock (火山岩) and some have hats on their heads and eyes made from white coral. Since their 　8 , these huge stone men 　9 one of the greatest mysteries of all time.

Some experts believe the stone men are 　10 to Inca stonework, and suggest the figures were created by people of Peruvian descent (血统). 　11 have even gone so far as to say that they came from outer space. The latest suggestion 　12 the idea that Easter Island represents one of the worst cases of resource abuse in human history. It is said that a small group of Asians settled on Easter Island 　13 between 400 and 700 AD. They developed a great civilization with huge forests and 　14 food. At the peak of their civilization, the people began to build the giant 　15 men.

The forest began to disappear, which 　18 all the animals dying out. 　19 couldn’t get food and were forced to eat other humans. Society began to 　20 and the islanders themselves finally destroyed the stone men.

Miss Wenter was watching TV when the program suddenly stopped. “Sorry to 　1 the program. Now we are requested to 　2 an important notice from the police station. At about nine this evening, a lady named Mrs Humney was 　3 and killed. Anyone who can supply any clue (线索) is requested to report to the 　4 . Thank you.” The terrible news made the lonely girl 　5 with fear. She couldn’t help looking around, but she didn’t notice that a man was already 　6 behind the door to the veranda (阳台).

All of a 　7 the man appeared before Miss Wenter. The girl really didn’t know what to do. “Don’t ask for 　8 , just put your jewellery on the table; then think over whether I shall be safe to stay up here for the night,” said the robber. That made Miss Wenter even more 　9 , but she tried to 　10 herself.

Just then came the whistle of a police car, In a little while, someone rang the 　11 . The robber said with a gun 　12 the girl’s back, “Go to the door and say that you’ve gone to bed. Never let him in.”

In a flash, the girl had an idea. “Oh, who are you?” she said.

“I’m Sergeant Bull, Miss Wenter. Is there something 　13 here?”

“No, there isn’t.” Immediately she added loudly, 　14 , my elder brother extends his 　15 greetings (问候) to you.”

“Thank you. Good night,” Bull replied in the same 　16 .

A few minutes later, the sound of the police car going 　17 could be heard. “It’s well 　18 ,” the robber said with a smile. Then he 　19 to the girl. Almost at the same time the glass on the window was broken. The policemen hurried into the room from the veranda. They quickly put handcuffs (手铐) on the robber.

“Miss Wenter, your greetings were so good that it made us take 　20 right away,” said Sergeant Bull, because we’ve already known that your elder brother was killed in a robbery half a year ago.”

Two weeks before Christmas，Mother told me we were going to my grandmother's house for the holiday.Grandma and Uncle Henry lived on a farm some 15 miles out of town.They had no electricity or running water and__1__what I considered the “good things” in life.They__2__made no plans for Christmas.When Christmas Eve arrived，Mom told me in her “I-mean-it” voice to__3__all the decorations(装饰物)from our tree.She packed those up，__4__all the trimmings(配料)for a __5__turkey dinner.

Uncle Henry quickly caught Mom's spirit.He called me to join him，and we found a perfect Christmas tree in the woods.Soon the house __16__fresh and piney as we decorated the tree，and the day__17__a festive air.The turkey dinner was very good，too.I was actually beginning to enjoy this unusual Christmas day!

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 　1 by tramps to inform their 2 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 3 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

　　 Quite 4 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be　 5 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into 　6 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 　7 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 8 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 　9 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 　10 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 11 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him 　12 his hat but couldn’t hear his words. The 13 was very short indeed, for no sooner had he spoken a few words than the door closed fiercely in his face. I felt 14 for him as he walked 　15 out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 　16 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 　17 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 18 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 19 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 20 , whistling as he went along.
