    We should not use more water than we actually need. If we do, we will not have enough water in the future.It is not a difficult question to answer. If we remove more fresh water than nature replaces, we have taken too much.

    Many cities run campaigns (运动) to get people to stop wasting water. They show them ways they can cut back on water use.What's more, they carry out programs that offer money to reduce water use. For example, they give people shower heads and toilets that use less water.

    Another threat (威胁) to our water supply is pollution. When our sources of fresh water get polluted, we can no longer use this water. This also endangers (危及) the animals that depend on the water.

    We can save lots of water by not letting taps (水龙头) run while we brush our teeth or by turning off taps right after washing hands. By collecting cold water when we're taking warm showers, we can also save water.In this way, we can make full use of water.

A. However, just how much is too much?

B. There are several things we can do to save water.

C. Finally, they make laws to control the use of water.

D. We don't have to let the cold water run until it gets warm.

E. They also increase water bills for people who use too much.

For us students who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don't hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn't help you, ask someone else.
How to get through exams? Here are some①         (建议):
Ask a teacher or tutor about how to review your lessons, and exam skills-how to work when you are in an exam.
Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.
Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.
Get enough sleep, and eat ②         (健康)food.
You need exercise to work well. Walk, run, play sports-whatever you enjoy.
Stop thinking about the future and failing.
If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don't be too relaxed!③Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don't do it! In fact, don't even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. ④ 你不能改变你已经写的东西!
To this advice, we could add:
If you are studying in the evening, don't go straight to bed. Your mind will still be“going round and round”-thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

The 2024 Spring Festival Gala official mascot (吉祥物), "Loong Chenchen", was announced by the China Media Group on Wednesday. The name "Loong Chenchen" includes the Chinese character "Loong", which translates to "dragon" in English. The dragon plays {#blank#}1{#/blank#} important role in Chinese culture. In ancient times, the emperors of ancient China loved dragons and their clothes {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (cover) with pictures of dragons. We are proud to call {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (we) the "descendants (传人) of the dragon". In Chinese, "excellent" people are often called "dragons". The mascot "Loong Chenchen" shows great meanings of good luck, health and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (happy). It also means that the country is rich and the people are at peace.

Nina felt nervous this morning. She couldn't believe that she decided to tryout for a talent show. She loved to sing but she disliked singing in front of other people. 

Taking a deep breath, she pushed open the door of the theater and went inside. 

The room was filled with laughing children. Nina saw Luz, James and others from her class. The bright, sunny room left her no place to hide. A few teachers sat on chairs. They waited for the children to become quiet. 

"Hi, Nina!" Luz called out. "I didn't think you would tryout. You are so timid(胆怯的) in front of people. "

"That's not true, " Nina said. "I'm not shy at all. "

"Yeah, right, " Luz chuckled(轻声地笑) and ran off to find a seat. 

One by one the students got up on the stage(舞台) and did their acts. 

"Nina Martinez!" a voice called out. It was Mrs. Brent, the music teacher. Nina rose from her chair. She felt small as she walked to the huge, empty stage. Her face was hot and her shaking hands were as cold as ice. 

"I-I-" Nina began, and then stopped. "I can't, " she said softly. 

"Close your eyes, " said Mrs. Brent gently. "Forget about everyone else. Just sing. "

Nina felt silly, but she gave it a try. She closed her eyes and raised her voice and sang out. Her hands stopped shaking. 

The song was so nice that everybody enjoyed it. 

Nina heard Mrs. Brent clap (鼓掌) loudly at the end of her song. "That's the first time I have really heard your voice, " she said. "You are in the show!"

Nina let out a big sigh(叹息) and smiled happily.

How did Churchill achieve so much? One key to his success was his strictly observed daily schedule.

Churchill is not a particularly early riser, he is a night owl. Around 8 o'clock, he takes off his sleeping mask to the smell of breakfast. On his bed places a tray(托盘)to his own design, with a cutout for his round belly that allows him to have breakfast and work at the same time.

Churchill usually begins the mornings with a full English breakfast, often accompanied by meat from the previous night, and sometimes a glass of wine. As he picks through his tray of food, he    peruses the morning newspapers. Sometimes he rises, walking to his beloved Clementine in her separate bedroom, to discuss a startling development. From his battle station he dictates(口述)letters, sips from a glass filled with water and some whisky, and reads until late morning. Then he bathes, dresses and begins his day. Lunch is followed by a walk round the gardens and ponds, cards with family and friends then followed by a nap. His nap is exactly an hour long. It allows him, he says, to get more hours out of every twenty-four.

Churchill's daily schedule reveals important principles for success: he knows how to get things done. He is one of the most productive men who ever lived. To achieve productively, he always follows two principles. The first he learnt from Napoleon: strength of force in the most important places. The second is economy of effort(节约能量).

Economy of effort is one of Churchill's excellent characteristics(特征). His daily work in bed saves energy for later, when he will often dictate from a stand-up desk. When travelling he is even more economical. Never stand when you can sit down, he will advise a visitor. "Never sit down when you can lie down, and never to miss an opportunity to visit a washroom, as there is no knowing when the next chance will appear."
