根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
California is dry. The sunny state is suffering from a four-year drought — a serious and unusual lack of rainfall. The effects of the drought can be seen most clearly in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. Much of the state’s water supply comes from the deep snow that falls in these mountains. That snow melts in the spring and fills the state’s rivers, lakes, and underground bodies of water. 1. .As a result, experts are now warning that California currently has only a one-year supply of usable water. Today we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow.
2. .That means people will have to limit their water use at home. They can do this by not watering lawns and reducing how much water they use for cleaning and cooking. 3. Places like golf courses currently use a lot of water to keep lawns green. They’ll need to find solutions for this problem that require less water.
California’s water crisis has been caused mainly by a lack of rain and snowfall over the past few years. 4. . Today, California is home to nearly 40 million people. This is double the number who lived there in 1960.
California simply has too many people for its natural resources. 5. . Many people have moved to the state because of its natural beauty and pleasant weather. And several major businesses are based in California, including Hollywood movie companies such as Warner Bros. and technology giants like Apple.
The drought is not likely to destroy California’s businesses, but the state will have to rethink how it grows and does things.
A. People can benefit a lot from this terrible drought.
B. This serious drought needs immediate action.
C. Nature has prepared so much for people.
D. Mother Nature didn’t intend for so many people.
E. But the snow hasn’t been falling.
F. But another big problem is its growing population.
G. Some public places will need to make big changes.
The Christmas season is often considered the season of giving. Many of us spend a lot of effort and money in an attempt to give our friends and loved ones the best possible gift. But what is the best gift you could possibly give?
Imagine that your bank gave you an account with $86,400 every morning of every day. You could use this amount of money for anything you want. But at the end of every day, the bank tells you that money in the account can only be used within that day. How would you choose to spend this money?
This is the attitude we should take towards the time. Time can never get back. It is the only resource that no one can get more than another person.
Around the holiday season, we find ourselves very busy. It is a point in the year where how you spend your time is crucial. Spending this valuable time to help another human being in need is one of the greatest gifts we can give. We never know when even giving a short amount of time to help or listen to a stranger, could make the rest of their day much more pleasant.
However, the saying that money is time is one of the truest statements ever made. By the act of donating money to a non profit organization which helps — for example, you are allowing that single mother to spend more time looking after her children, instead of being forced to spend time looking for a temporary second job. By donating some money, you have helped someone else use their time for a better cause.
One organization I personally would encourage you to consider spending your time and/or money would be Eva Initiatives, an organization created for the homeless. I have volunteered there twice. It was a very positive experience, and being able to learn more about who lived there really gave me a perspective on the real struggles of the people around us.

“Wake up. Alicia is waiting for you outside,” my mother called from the kitchen. My mother didn’t like me going for this weekend to my friend’s house in the mountains. “I trust you, but I don’t trust the people out there,” she said seriously. “I’m going to be fine,” were my last words before closing the door of the Jeep. The vehicle went along the dusty road and my mother grew smaller in the distance.
The trip over the rough road was uncomfortable. It was scary to climb the steep hills surrounded by great pines. After a long trip we finally arrived at the house. From the moment I got there I knew I would forever love the house. It was decorated like an old country home. My room was small, yet set up nicely. That night I went to sleep early, not because I didn’t want to continue my search, but because I was tired after the long trip.
In the morning, the singing of the birds woke me up. The light was just getting through the window. A strong smell of baking and fresh coffee came from the kitchen. I wandered around looking for a living soul, but the house was empty. I had the whole day to myself; my friend had gone hiking. I didn’t want to go with her. The main reason for this trip was to spend some time alone to think about the events happening in my life.
After an icy shower, my energies were at their fullest. With basket in hand, I started my hunt. I did not mind walking alone; it was a wonderful feeling to be in contact with nature for the first time. The sound of the water running through the rocks gave me great peace. I never felt such independence in my soul before.
