My swimming experience is extreme interesting. There is a time when I swam like a rock.

This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of me at a nearby pond. I slipped

into it. Had my friends not come to my rescue, I would have been drowned. Ever since then,

I have come to know importance of learning to swim. I didn’t attend any training class

and learned it all by myself. I have no difficult swimming at all now. Though the way I swim look

awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me from floating. Thinking of this, I feel quite satisfying.

In the 60s, people asked about your astrological (about star) sign. In the 90s, they want to know your website.   51   Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

      52   Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

    While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout (版面设计). At the top of the page is a banner (横幅). Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, text, and links to other websites follow.

      53   Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.

While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind:   54  If you are too much at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site.

    Less is better. Most people don’t like to read a lot of long text online.   55  . Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small.

    Have the rights. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it legally. Always remember to get the permission from the writer first.

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building

A. Start simply.

B. Break it into small pieces.

C. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.

D. Many websites are considered very interesting.

E. These days, having a web address is almost as important as a street address.

F. Before you start building your site, do some planning.

G. Think of your home page as the starting point of your website.

The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.

These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, an official in the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.

Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.” He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy.

Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.

“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”

Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion. The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.

Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.

At present, the city has 600,000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush. The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of Yuan each. In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.

Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment. At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.

Movie makers at one time worried that they might be put out of business by television. Recently, however, more and more people have been going to the movies. This may be partly because the economic situation in America has worsened. When at the movies, people forget their troubles, as they get involved in the story on the screen. Also, directors have recently been producing pictures that large numbers of people want to see.

Americans in the millions are returning to their love affair with the movies. Motion picture industry experts see two main factors responsible for this: an increased need by Americans to escape from economic worries and a large number of new movies with broad audience appeal.

Movie makers admit that their rising popularity is partly the result of poor economic conditions, which traditionally bring an increase in theater attendance. “When people are fearful about the future, they look for escape,” comments Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America. “In a shaded theater, with a 65-foot screen, you lose yourself for two and a half hours and people find this beneficial.”

1.What did movie makers worry about before?

   A. That people preferred watching TV to seeing films.

   B. That movies couldn’t be a business any more.

   C. That their movies might be played on television.

   D. That no one would go to the cinema.

2.Why are so many people going to see movies now?

   A. Because people now have much more money.

   B. Because people wanted to escape from real life.

   C. Because people have troubles.

   D. Because watching movies is now much cheaper than watching TV.

3.What does the underlined word “worsened” mean in the first paragraph?

A. become attractive   B. become amazing

C. become bad        D. become popular

4.The main topic of American movies is about          .

   A. economy          B. love             C. tradition        D. not mentioned
