Once, a man sold his well to a farmer. Next day when the farmer went to get the water from that well, the man didn't agree. He said, "I sold you the well, not the water, so you can't get the water."
The farmer became very sad. And he came to the judge in the office alone. He described everything and asked for help. The judge called up the man who sold the well to the farmer. He asked," Why don't you let him use the water of the well? You have sold the well to him." The man replied, "I have sold the well to the farmer, not the water. That means he can't get the water from the well. "
The judge smiled and said, "OK, as long as you have sold the well to him, and you say the water is yours, then you can't keep your water in the farmer's well. Either you pay for the farmer to keep your water, or you must take it out of his well right away. "
The man understood that his idea couldn't work. The story tells us we can't cheat others, though we are smart. We can't win in the end.

I'm sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you take old things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it's actually very scientific.
Material:
The first thing you have to do is to collect items (物品) that can be recycled. Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made of paper, metal, glass and plastic.
Daily things:
Can you think of everyday items made of these materials? Soda cans are good example. They are made of metal. Magazines and newspaper are made of paper. So are milk boxes. Some bottles of juice are made of glass. Bags are made of plastic. There are many things that can be recycled.
Sign:
These things are usually signed with the recycling loop. It has 3 arrows (箭头) that go in a triangular (三角形) circle. This shows that cycle (循环) continues. Items are thrown away but continue their lives as something else.
Process:
Let's go back to the process of recycling. ①The items are put in a recycling bin. ②A truck carries the items to a recycling factory. ③The materials are separated and squashed (被压扁成) into square cubes. ④Companies buy and turn them into new products.
Though water does not seem all that exciting, it is very valuable. The Ancient Greek pecople believed all the fresh water on the Earth came from a river calld Okeanos. They imagined that clouds collected rain from its magical waters (海域). The reason they believed in this is because water is important for humans. Doctors say that without water we would die in about one week.
There are two places that our fresh water comes from. The first is surface water, which includes all the water in lakes or rivers. The second is groundwater, which refers to all the water that comes from under the ground.
Water must be treated before it can come out of the tap (水龙头). First, anything harmful in the water must be removed. Then a cleaning agent (净化剂) is added. This will destroy any remaining germs (细菌).
There have been reports of factories in China letting waste water leak into the ground. Industrial waste water is a big problem as it can pollute our drinking water. Even if the water is treated, it is unfit for drinking. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has improved the water in China since 2004. In 2011,76 percent of water was safe for dinking. But treated water should always be boiled before drinking.
Some countries have more fresh water resources (资源) and this means that it is easier for them to treat their water.
A report from a British Consulting Firm called Maplecroft found that Iceland has the best fresh water supply in the world. That is because most of the tap water in Iceland comes from pure mountain springs. No treatment of any kind is required before Icelandic people drink their delicious water.
