23、March 20th is World Water Day every year. According to a report from the United Nations, more than half of the world's major rivers have serious water loss and are polluted.The Yellow River, the world's fifth longest river, watered some of the oldest farms on earth. But now it has a serious problem. _【1】_In most of the past 35 years, it didn't reach the sea.The Nile in Egypt, running 6, 650 km, is the longest river in the world. __【2】__ Now it is down to 2 billion m' or so. Australia's Murray River reaches the sea only every other year. One fifth of America's Rio Grande has no water, either._ 【3】__Mostly it's damming (筑坝) and global warming that make rivers dry.
_【4】_ Now about 45, 000 of them lie across the world's rivers. They hold back around 15% of the world's fresh water from running to the sea.Global warming is making things worse. Warmer weather takes water away. The glacier (冰川) are becoming smaller. _【5】Global warming has had certain effects on water sources (源头). Droughts (干旱) happening around the world make people pay more attention to this fact.
24、 Studying abroad
I am from Toronto, Canada and I moved to Madrid, Spain in September to pursue my master's degree(硕士学位). After almost two years of full-time work, I realized that I loved my field so much that I wanted to pursue higher education in the same field. Then I decided to pursue a Master's while having an experience abroad in Madrid. I chose Madrid because it is the business capital of Spain. They have amazing food, great wine, amazing culture and a beautiful language. | |
I am studying abroad in Amsterdam in the Netherlands at the University of Amsterdam now. I have always wanted to study abroad because I wanted an experience studying in the Western atmosphere(气氛). I choose the Netherlands because their courses are taught in English and that is very convenient for me. It is also a very student-friendly country. | |
Being an international student is a very interesting and useful experience. I got to know so many interesting students and discussed with them about different topics, not just about studies. What I wanted to experience most was the European lifestyle and cultures. Aside from the cultures, you also get to properly enjoy your time with others according to the real French lifestyle. | |
As I got closer to graduating from high school, I began to consider spending a year or so travelling, either before or after studying at university. I was really excited to go outside of the UK. Studying abroad has given me the confidence to continue pursuing opportunities that lie outside of my comfort zone(舒适区). |

26、Sir Steven Redgrave—Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), believing the profession(职业) trained for the whole of my life ended, I felt very sorry. Then one of my friends said there was no reason why I should stop training. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering—Swimming World Champion (冠军)
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that amount(总数) of work by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a profession in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kristen Stewart—Actress
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions(分散), such as family or hobbies. The key is to give most of your attention to one thing. When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and improves my confidence. This is a habit and is a powerful psychological(心理学的) tool.”

27、This sad story happened on a cold winter evening. It was so cold and snow was falling so heavily that the roads were covered with ice and a strong wind was blowing.

He thought, “ If I wear my coat backwards, maybe, it will be a little bit warmer for me.” He stopped walking, took off his coat, and put it on backwards. “That’s much better.” He said to himself happily.
