Human uses a little less than half the water available worldwide.Yet occurrences of shortages and droughts(干旱)are causing starvation and misfortunes in some areas,and industrial and agricultural by-products are polluting water supplies.Since the world’s population is expected to double in the next 50 years,many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis(危机).
But .Water shortages do not have to trouble the world——if we start valuing water more than we have in the past.Just as we began to appreciate oil more after the 1970s oil crises,today we must start looking at water in a fresh economic way.We can no longer afford to consider water an actually free resource of which we can use as much as we like in any way we want.Instead,for all uses except the demand of the door, governments should price water to reflect its actual value.This means charging a fee for the water itself as well as for the supply costs.
Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally sound ways.For example,often the cheapest way to provide irrigation water in the dry areas is through small projects.such as gathering rainfall in depressions(凹地)and pumping it to nearby cropland.
No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently,they must change their institutional(制度上的)and legal approaches to water use.Rather than spread control among hundreds or even thousands of local,and national agencies that watch water use,countries should set up central authorities to carry out water policy.

Eating disorder is very common now. "When I first wrote about this. the problem was pretty much hidden … I didn't expect it to get as bad as it is." Susie Orbach, an international authority on eating disorders, said.
Orbach must at times think the anti-diet message of her book “fat is a Feminist Issue(女权主义问题)”has been lost since it was written more than 20 years ago.
Girls, boys, old people -- even the famously well-rounded female population of Fiji are falling victims(牺牲品) to fat fear.
"If anything, the situation has got much, much worse. We now have kids as young as eight and women in old people's homes worried about the way they look." Orbach said.
Even though it has been proved that repeated dieting results in a little more than regaining most of the lost weight, constant dieting has become a way of life for many women. 48 per cent of British women aged 25 to 35 were on some kind of diet and 20 per cent of young women dieted all or most of time. Some of them said they would pop a pill to give them their beautiful shape, even if it meant risking their health. Worldwide, 70 million people have an eating disorder. Most are women, but men are increasingly affected, too.
More than half the women and two thirds of the men in Britain weigh too much. while in the United States more than one quarter of adults and about one in five children are overweight. The idea that female beauty is a very thin body could be changed, if clothing factories and magazines showed images(形象) of women of all shapes instead of selecting skeletal-like models and stick-thin actress.
But that is easier said than done.
To get the message across, Orbach is also considering talking to pop stars such as Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell, both of whom have admitted__________________.
