Users put an empty bottle in the machine. It is identified (iR^!j) by a small camera. Then it is put into a built-in bin. The users can get some coins. They can also give away the money.

   Imagine one day,the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

   Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report,the capital,Sana,will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

   Because of the shortage,the government often cuts the water supply (供应) . Hannan,an 18-year-old girl from Lahej,told the Times： uIn a good week well have a water supply all the week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two. ” ,    Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can't afford it ,” she said.

   The average (平均的) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic (立方) meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty (贫困)line of 1,000 cubic meters.

  Big ocean fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of the fishing business in the 1950s. The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.

   The scientists say the common way called longline (延绳) fishing especially does harm to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat. If these lines are joined together,they can reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.

   The scientists say the fishing business can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that large fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years. Ocean life systems could be destroyed.
