lack basic sanitation.
The combination proves deadly. Each year, diseases related to inadequate water and sanitation kill between
2 and 5 million people and cause an estimated 80 percent of all sicknesses in the developing world. Safe
drinking water is a precondition for health and the fight against child death rate, inequality between men and
women, and poverty.
Consider these facts:
The average distance that women in Africa and Asia walk to collect water is 6 kilometers.
Only 58 percent of children in sub-Saharan Africa are drinking safe water, and only 37 percent of children
in South Asia have access to even a basic toilet.
Each year in India alone, 73 million working days are lost to water-borne diseases.
Here are three ways you can help:
(1) Write Congress
Current U. S. foreign aid for drinking water and sanitation budgets only one dollar per year per American
citizen. Few members of Congress have ever received a letter from voters about clean drinking water abroad.
(2) Sponsor a project with a faith-based organization
Many U.S. religious groups already sponsor water and sanitation projects, working with partner organizations
abroad. Simply putting a single project by a U.S. organization can make safe water a reality for thousands of
people.
(3) Support nonprofit water organizations
Numerous U.S.-based nonprofits work skillfully abroad in community-led projects related to drinking water
and sanitation. Like the sample of non-profits noted as follows, some organizations are large, other small-scale,
some operate worldwide, others are devoted to certain areas in Africa, Asia, or Latin America. Support them
generously.
B. people have no access to clean drinking water
C. women"s rights are denied in some developing countries
D. safe drinking water should be a primary concern
B. overseas sponsors
C. congressmen
D. U.S.-based water organizations
B. donate money to people short of water through religious groups
C. fight against the worldwide water shortage and sanitation problem
D. take joint action in support of some non-profit water organizations
B. A list of non-profit water organizations to make contact with.
C. Some ways to get financial aids from U.S. Congress.
D. A few water resources exploited by some world-famous organizations.

of as being a chicken.
However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly than his keepers could
ever have imagined.
Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in his enclosure,
after climbing it for the first time.
The branching tower had been designed to provide mental stimulation for Tanvir by testing his ingenuity,
but after scaling the exercise structure in just a few seconds, he lost his nerve when it came to coming back
down.
Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to pluck up the courage to attempt
a descent.
A spokesperson for the zoo said chat Tanvir had taken half an hour to come down from a smaller structure
only l.5m high previously, and that the taller tower had clearly been too much for him.
"Every time he gets to the edge, he looks out, puts a paw over, and thinks, "no, I"m not doing it!"" said
Samantha Cordrey.
In the end Tanvir"s hunger got the better of his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down in
order to eat.
It appears that Tanvir is none the worse for his experience, but it is not known if he will find the guts (勇
气) to go back up his exercise tower again.
The whole episode only serves to underline the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that
will stimulate the animals living in enclosed spaces.
"It was made to challenge him but he"s a bit of a wimp," said Tanvir"s keeper.
B. tigers have nothing to do with chickens
C. tigers sometimes feed on chickens
D. tigers are generally not so cowardly

B. Zoo keepers knew the structure was a bit difficult for Tanvir.
C. Tanvir was the only tiger that was trained by the zoo keepers.
D. All tigers needed training before they were set free from the zoo.

without putting on weight, is to be released in British stores. The invention, called the world"s first breathable
food by its creators, lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one
calorie. Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their
waistline.
The lipstick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles which are small enough to
become conveyed by air, but too large to enter the lungs. Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about
eight to ten whiffs (喷射) and costs 1.99 on its own, or ￡4.99 for a pack of three. The inhaler is available
in chocolate, raspberry chocolate and mint chocolate models as well as coffee flavor, which gives a dose of
caffeine equivalent to a small short of strong black coffee.
It was invented by Prof. David Edwards. He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be
used to increase dining experiences, such as allowing people to sample a variety of dishes from restaurant
menus before ordering their meal.
He said, "In terms of living off whiffing we aren"t even close to being there. But there clearly has been a
revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently and choosing
food or its aesthetic (审美的) pleasure. We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six
months. It is reasonable to assume that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered."
The product was released in Paris in 2009 and the initial production run of 25,000 inhalers were sold out
within a month. It has since been made available across France and in the US. In Britain Le Whif is to be sold
firstly in House of Fraser for a month, after which it could become more widely distributed.
B. contains few nutrients in fact
C. is popular with British chocolate lovers
D. is able to help dieters lose weight
B. To replace the traditional chocolate.
C. To change the coffee flavor.
D. To increase people"s dining experiences.
B. Le Whif is a revolution that will change people"s life.
C. The whiffing products in the future will be improved.
D. Le Whif can make people eat less food.
B. I.e Whif hasn"t been made available in British stores
C. Ie Whif contains hundreds of tiny food particles which are small enough to enter the lungs
D. Le Whif can help to lose weight but is harmful to health
Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs,
rays and small fish gather by the thousands off an Alabama pier. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into
marshes (沼泽), never to be seen again.
Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster (英国石油公司漏油事件) are seeing some strange
phenomena. Fish and other wildlife seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters
along the coast in a trend that some researchers see as a potentially troubling sign. The animals" presence close
to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run
out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily be captured by their enemies.
The nearly two-month-old spill (漏油) has created an environmental disaster in US history as tens of millions
of gallons have flown into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Scientists are seeing some unusual things as they try
to understand the effects on thousands of species of marine life.
For nearly four hours Monday, a three-person crew with Greenpeace cruised past delicate islands and
mangrove-dotted inlets in Barataria Bay off southern Louisiana. They saw dolphins by the dozen frolicking (嬉
戏) in the oily sheen (光泽) and oil-tinged pelicans feeding their young. But they spotted no dead animals.
"I think part of the reason why we"re not seeing more yet is that the impacts of this crisis are really just
beginning," Greenpeace marine biologist John Hocevar said.
The counting of dead wildlife in the Gulf is more than an academic exercise; the deaths will help determine
how much BP pays in damages.
B. Dolphins and sharks show up in deep water.
C. Tens of thousands of marine animals are found dead.
D. Sea creatures flee from the spilled oil, gathering near the seashore.
B. Many animals could be easily eaten by their enemies.
C. Masses of fishes could die due to lack of oxygen.
D. Some dolphins are frolicking in marshes.
B. the lack of environmental sense of BP
C. the nearly two-month-old oil spill
D. the crowding marine life
B. Disappointed.
C. Depressed.
D. Optimistic.
B. marine scientists have seen some strange phenomena
C. the disaster has little influence on dolphins
D. a three-person crew reached no conclusion
