Clean water is not only important for people to produce food, but necessary for our life However, many people in Asia and Africa don't have enough clean water to use The World Health Organization reports that almost 4 000 children die each day of dirty water or lack(缺乏)of water.

Farmers use 70% - 85% 0f the world freshwater to produce food. People usually don't pay much attention to how much water industry(工业)uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.

Home use takes up(占据)only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, more water will be used. The local government has to try to make people useless water. In 60% of European cities, people are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use. In Australia, the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use, The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water. Scientists and the UN are looking for good water management as the key to solving the problem. We can all work together to protect our fresh water in our daily life.

2.People in Asia have enough clean water to use.

3.According to the passage, scientists have found good ways to deal with water problems.

When I spent Christmas away from home in Europe for the first time, I was only 14 and it was absolutely terrible. I am now married and live in the US. So there is little possibility for me to go home for Christmas. Now I am able to get through Christmas with some moments of joy:

First, you are advised to search your area for stores that carry items from your home country or town. Buy food, candles and some other things that mean something to you.

Hold on to the traditions from your home that you think are important even if other people think they are stupid. But keep in mind to be open for new traditions from wherever you might be, because those traditions are as important to those people around you as yours are to you. For me that includes celebrating Christmas on the 24th.

Call, write Christmas cards, buy gifts and mail them to loved ones, just as if you were there. If you try to pretend (假装) as if the holiday doesn't exist, you are just going to make it worse.

Introduce your traditions to your loved ones, especially your kids. It will only enrich their celebration of the holiday to have some unique (独一无二的) traditions in their home. Little by little it will become their tradition and it’s fun for them to try something new.

Find clubs, churches or organizations that are from your home country. Chances are that they will have some celebration with some of your traditions which you can join in.

Food is one of the most important factors in any kind of tradition. Find the recipe (食谱) of that cake your grandmother used and make it your tradition to bake that particular cake.

Call up your parents and get them to send you some of your favorite childhood ornaments (装饰品) for your tree.

Pay attention to new traditions, talk to your family about which ones you want to make your own and stick with them.

If you are far away from home, Christmas can never be the same as you experienced it before, but it is important to remember these traditions while appreciating the new ones. Keep an open mind and find a compromise between old and new traditions.
