   Imagine one day the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to use for washing clothes. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
   Probably not. But that is what kids in Yemen (也门) are experiencing (经历). According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
   Because of the water shortage (短缺), the Yemen government often cuts the water supply (供应). Hannan, an 18-year-girl, tells the Teens, “In a good week we'll have a water supply all week. But then the next week there will be water only for a day or two.”
   Hannan says only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private (私人的) companies own the trucks, They travel around the city every day to sell water-- at very high prices.

    Some people seem to have unusual memories. Zheng Aiqiang, a "memory athlete" on TV show Super Brain, can remember 2,660 numbers in just one hour!

    You would think people like him must have special brains. But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland, the brain structure (结构) of ordinary people and 23 of the world's leading memory athletes shows no difference.

    Good memories can be trained. New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training.

    Researchers found that a technique (技巧) called loci, invented by the ancient Greeks, can greatly help improve memory.

    By using loci, you are using your imagination to improve the brain's memory networks. You can link (关联) something you need to remember with a place that you know very well. For example, to remember a list of numbers, imagine yourself walking through your house. Each thing is linked to a number. For example, zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall.

    In one study, some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns. At the beginning, they could only remember 26 words, but when they were taught loci, they could remember 62 words.

"Not everyone can become a memory winner. But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly," said Boris Konrad, one of the researchers in the study.

Online classes in space got lots of attention among Chinese students. The "classroom" in space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space classes make the young proud of our country. As a special "teacher", Wang Yaping is regarded as (看作)"the most beautiful astronaut(宇航员). 

Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by Changchun Flight Academy. 

Wang's space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, "China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?" At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights (飞行)for 1, 600 hours during nine years in the training centre, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人)to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou— 10. She joined the team of Shenzhou— 13 in 2021 and flew into the space for the second time. 

However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can't stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, "The space environment won't change because you are a woman. " She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including the pull— ups and barbells(杠铃). That finally made her dream come true. 

"You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams, " Wang Yaping said. She set a good example to the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired(受鼓舞)by the most beautiful astronaut.

Monday began as usual. It wasn't until the third- graders reached their classroom that they noticed a new 1 . She was tall and straight with grey hair and witch's cold eyes, carrying a plant and a book.

"I'm Miss Orville. I've taught for forty- six years," she warned."I know lots of your tricks (恶作剧), 2 I advise you to try none. You' re to be in my charge until your teacher returns. Since I don't know you, let me look at your 3 first. Completed it? Take it out. Now!"

" You call THIS homework?" R-r- rip! A page was torn out and thrown at 4 owner. " Do it again."

 Roger opened his schoolbag. 5 , it fell off. Books, pencils spilled out. Cards, toys, balls..." Ah, we've come to play, have we?" She fixed her witch's gaze on him.

 The third grade was the last to 6 school. The children looked strangely defeated. Roger pulled his mother," We don't have a new teacher but a witch(巫婆) named Miss Awful. Hurry, I have much homework!"

 Finally, on Friday Miss Orville said, " Your teacher will return. This afternoon will be my7 class." At lunch, the third grade talked about nothing except how to 8 Miss Awful. Joey suggested," We could tie a rope in front of the door. She would fall down if she walked over."

" No. She's old," Roger said." We 9 hurt her like that."

" How about taking off the 10 of that plant?" advised someone.

 Roger didn't want to do that, not understanding why. It was a feeling he couldn't explain.

" Well, you worked hard last week," Miss Orville began her class. " Attending school is like a priceless gift. If I've been 11 , it was for your benefit. The world needs good people..."

 She stopped suddenly, staring at the plant 12 its leaves. She faced the class, looking sad.

" Whoever is responsible, I only wish you to be 13 ."

 After class, she said goodbye to the students. They ran out, some regretful, some silent, others cheerful. Only Roger stayed behind. He 14 her, rubbing his hand up and down his coat." Yes?" Miss Orville asked. " Flower, f-l-o-w-e-r. Castle, c-a-s-t-l-e. I've learned 15 you taught us." He smiled to Miss Awful whose eyes were wet.
