The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seemstrange to you, since nearly 75％of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97％ of this huge amount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3％--the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly almost everyday. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91000 litres of water?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on small scale. The systems that have been worked out are similar to those used in spacecraft.

When young children are learning to ride a bicycle, they require that their parents hold on to the back of the bike so that they gain confidence and won’t fall off．
However, when children leave to go to college, or get married, parents must accept that their children are riding off into their own future．At this time, parents shouldn’t stand back and with the children gone, they are left with an empty nest．How can parents get through this period of life?
The first thing you should do is nothing at all．You should actually take some time to rest since your child was born．Just relax and reward yourself for the work you put into your child．
Taking some time for yourself will allow you to adjust to the change and figure out how you really feel about your child’s departure(离开)．You shouldn’t compare how you feel with how other people feel, as everyone’s experience of an empty nest is different．
Exercise is a great mood lifter．A physical fitness program may have been one of the first sacrifices(牺牲)you made when your child came along; now, with fewer duties, you’ll have time to hit the gym regularly．If you have a friend who also has become an empty nester recently, you may have found a new companion．Not only will you get the chance to share dealing with tips, you’ll also create social opportunities for yourself, which will get you out of that empty house if you need to．
We all have those things that we say we’ll do or learn “someday”．If you’re an empty nester, the “someday” might just be now．
If you’re not sure exactly what to do in all your spare time, take your time and think about it．It will, however, probably be easier to figure out your dream when you’re out．Try exploring a nearby museum or attraction you’ve never visited．
Many parents may fear an empty nest because they worry that their little birds have flown away forever．Try setting up a regular phone date with your child．A once-a-week call may make you feel satisfied while giving your child a reasonable degree of freedom．

We all need physical exercise．Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body full of energy．It works your muscles and makes your heart work hard so as to send blood to your muscles．So, exercise makes your heart and muscles strong．Exercise also makes you feel refreshed．If you exercise a couple of times a week, you will stay happy and healthy．
Some Western countries, such as the United States, have problems with exercise．In the US, many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them．People have to work from dawn till dusk, so they don't have time to take exercise．They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers．They cannot get much exercise sitting at desk passively．
Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work．However, the majority of people cannot do this．It is too far from their homes to their offices．They have no choice but to drive to work．In fact, some have to drive one or two hours to their offices．This is unfavourable in two ways．First, these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day．Second, driving is challenging especially in rush hours and calls for too much attention．It makes a person worn out．So, when these people arrive home at night, they don't have the desire to take exercise after work．
Today, many people in the West are overweight, which causes health problems for them．Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health．So many people are trying to get more exercise．But it takes time to change, and when people don't see a difference right away, they will lose heart and stop exercising．
One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is 36
Once I heard a bald man said, “whenever I enter a room 37 I see is hair.” Once you’ve 38
what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will 39 make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different 40 , or forget about it and 41 the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have a relatively 42 life, yet are essentially unhappy while people who have suffered a great deal but 43 remain happy.
The first 44 is gratitude. All happy people are 45 . Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to 46 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is 47 that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious 48 are those pursuit (追求) that give our lives purpose — anything 49 studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are 50 to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our 51 has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We 52 a spiritual faith, or a philosophy, it should 53 this truth: if you choose to find the 54 in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As with happiness itself, this is 55 your decision to make.
