    Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water—drink recycled sewage(污水)or die．

   With the drought(干旱)continuing，the country is set to be forced to use purified(净化的)waste water for drinking．even though there is great opposition to the measure．

    Queensland has become the first state to introduce tile policy after a warning from its premier．

“I think in the end，because of the drought，all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water．”said Peter Beattie．

    “These are difficult decisions，but you either drink water or you die．There’s no choice．It’s liquid gold．It’s a matter of life and death．”

    Beanie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking．

    Water is recycled in Britain and pans of northern Europe along with the US and Israel．

    But Australians have never liked the idea．

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons on my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. The house and barn provided endless hours of  36  for a city kid like me.

I still  37  one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first  38  to the farm, I’d wanted more than anything to be  39  to climb the stone walls surrounding the property. My parents never  40 . The walls were old. Some stones were  41 ,and others were loose and crumbling. Still, my desire to climb those walls  42  so strong that finally, one spring afternoon, I gathered all my

 43  and entered the living room, where the adults had  44  after Sunday dinner.

“I, uh, I want to climb the stone walls,” I said hesitantly.  45  looked up. “Can I ?”

 46  a chorus went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no!” they cried in dismay. “You’ll hurt yourself!”

“Run quickly,” he said to me. “And come see me  52  you get back.”

For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I went to my grandfather to tell him about my  53 . I’ll never forget what he said.

“Fred,” he smiled, “you made this day a(n)  54  one just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly  55  you are.” Many years have passed since then, but I still cherish his words in my heart.
