another paragraph Global Shortage of Fresh Water People often think that water will never be used up. It seems as if water is always available around us . In fact water is rather limited on the earth.

地球淡水资源的缺乏 人们通常认为水是用不完的。仿佛水随手可得。 实际上地球上的水资源是有限的。随着人口的快速增长以及工业的快速发展，现在比过去更需要水资源了。中国一些大城市已经面临水资源缺乏的危机了。 人们应该认识到水资源的真正情况。我们必须保护现有的水资源以及发现新能源。

Lulu, good job, but the gold is over now, I am sorry

     在一次轮船失事中，一个唯一的幸存者被冲到了一个无人居住的小岛,他每天都望着地平线祈求上帝能够救他,但看起来好像希望不大。最后，他竭尽所能地用浮木在外面建了一间小屋，以便居住和贮存他仅有的一点点东西。有一天，他外出寻找食物，当他家的时候，他发现小屋已经着火了，浓烟缭绕，最坏的事情已经发生了，他失去了一切，。他哭着叫道：“天呀，你为什么要这样对我？”然后因生气和悲伤而晕过去了。可是第二天，他被一艘近小岛的船的噪音吵醒了，他得救了。“你怎么知道我在这”这个疲倦的获救者问。“我们看到你烧烟的求救信号”，他们说道。

     当事情不顺利的时候很容易使人灰心。但我们不要失去信心，因为不管是烦恼或痛苦，上帝都在我们生活中。请记住，上帝为你关了这扇门，必会为你再开另一扇门的。不幸之后中往往隐藏着更好的机遇。

 Man and His Environment
     Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology  he  has  altered many physical features of the earth.  He  has  transformed woodlands and prairies into farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
     However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed and industrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
     Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to man's existence. Indifference to these problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve environment. Otherwise,man is certain to suffer from the serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings.

人类和环境

在整个人类的历史中人类都努力改变自然环境以求改变它们的生活方式。人类运用科技工具已经使地球改变地理容貌。把森林和草原变成农田；把河流变成湖和蓄水池来灌溉农田和水力发电。人类还通过开发沼泽地和山地来改变地貌来修路和修铁道。

但是人类对自然环境的改造并不是都有好的结果的。今天，空气污染和水污染已经越来越严重地威胁到地球的健康了。每天，汽车排放出数以千吨的有毒气体。工厂排放出的烟尘污染了工业区以及周边的城郊地区的空气。水污染同样造成了危害。地区的整个生态平衡都被破坏了，工业污水已经使得河流利的生物都消失了。

现在保护环境的任务比以往更加紧迫了。据我们所知，环境的大面积破坏带来了很多负面影响，甚至对人类的生存构成了重大的威胁。对这些问题的忽视就等于自杀。因此，我们必须采取有效措施以及制定相关的法律来保护环境。否则，人类必会遭受到因为对他周边环境的忽视而造成的严重后果。

The Importance of Confidence

Whatever one does, one should do it with confidence. If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one can achieve anything when faced with hardships. This truth seems to be self-evident. In reality, however, we do see a lot of people who always complain that they lack the ability to do something or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. For some, this might be true. But for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart. Why do some people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? In the first place, these people don’t have a correct estimate of themselves. Secondly, there is another possibility that they exaggerate the difficulties.

信心的重要性

无论一个人做什么事,都应该满怀信心的去做.如果一个人没有信心,那么当他面对困难的时候就不太可能完成任何事情.这是一个不证自明的事实.事实上,我们也确实看到很多人时常抱怨自己缺乏做事的能力或者困难太大而无法去解决.对部分人来讲,这的确是事实.但是对其他更多的人来讲,这就表明了他们已经灰心了.为什么即使他们有能力做好一件事情的时候他们还会感觉到挫折?第一,这些人对自己没有正确的评价.第二,很有可能他们夸大了困难.

Global Shortage of Fresh Water

People often think that water will never be used up. It seems as if water is always available around us .

 In fact water is rather limited on the earth. With the rapid increase of population and fast development of industries, water is more needed than before. some big cities in China are facing the problem of water shorage already.

The people should be made aware of the real situation about the water We have to protect the existing water resources and develop new ones.

地球淡水资源的匮乏

人们通常认为水是用不完的.好象水永远是够用的.

事实上,地球上的水资源是相当有限的.随着人口的迅速增长和工业的快速发展,水资源比以前需要的就更多了.中国的一些大城市正在逐步面临着水资源匮乏的问题.

人们应该意识到水资源的真正状况.我们必须保护现有的水资源并开发新能源.
