In Xi' an, there is a restaurant owner named Xiong Wencheng. He ( offer) the" No.6 combo"—a free meal, to help people in need for three years.
There is a sign on the restaurant door, it says,"▲ you ( experience) a hard time in Xi' an now? If you can't afford a meal, you can enter the restaurant and ask for the‘ No.6 combo'."
The" No.6 combo" is made up of a bowl of spicy soup. locally called hulatang, and a baijimo. It ( consider) as a secret code(暗号) between the customer and the restaurant. With this secret code, the one who is in need can ask help without feeling embarrassed.
Actually, it's not easy plan. The cost of the combo is 8 yuan. Even if 20 people ask for it, it ( cost) 160 yuan. Besides the" No. 6 combo", the restaurant has been serving free breakfast to street sanitation workers(环卫工人) since 2015.
When asked why he did that, Xion g ( say) ," It's possible for anyone to meet difficulties. I hope that those who receive help will, in turn, give a hand to others."
Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell(干旱期)for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country's longest river, the Po, is drying up!
This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing. What's more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power(水力发电)for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas(天然气) will be used, which is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk (沉没)in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!
