    Look! People are gathering to get water from a huge well in the village of Natwarghad in the western Indian state of Gujarat! ①Because of the large population on the earth, the world is ________hungry, it is ______be thirsty for water now. The world's population has reached 7 billion. And it could possible grow to 15 billion by the year 2100.

    ②On the other hand, about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. And we can't even use all of that, because some of them has been polluted.

    Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid a serious water shortage later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Today, in most large cities water is used only once, but it can be used again .Even if every large city reuse its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?

    The sea seems to have the best answer. The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers three quarters of the earth. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see,③如果我们可以找出解决方法，我们就不会有干涸（dry up）的危险。

    In today's world of mobile phones, MP5 players and minicomputers, most people have at least one time­telling tool with them. Since these small machines are so common, will people stop wearing the 500­year­old watches? According to some people, yes. A teenager says it's unnecessary to wear a watch. Many young people agree and they use their mobile phones to tell time. Louis Galie, a president, says that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago.

    However, watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they want to spend money on a nice time­telling tool which doesn't just keep good time. For this reason, the watch industry has become an accessory business (配件业)in recent years.

    Today's ________ offer a lot of uses that meet the need of almost any personality (个性). They can be used as compasses (指南针)，calendars, and even USB drives...

Their popular model uses different color lights to tell the time. Another watchmaker business, makes a "handless" watch, using a ring of circles to keep time. This watch makes people talk a lot about modern watches.

    Whether a watch expresses fashion sense, creative ability or a love of sports, people want their time­telling tools to be beautiful, fashionable and practical. All in all, a watch has become more important than the time it tells.
