The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water.Why Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted.
Now more water is needed.The problem is： Can we avoid a serious water shortage （缺少）later on？First, we should all learn how to savewater. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it.Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What should people do next
The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. The most important to avoid a serious water shortage is to find a cheaper way of getting the salt out of the sea water. Scientists are trying to do it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.
59.The world is thirsty because
A. 3/4 of the earth is covered with water
B. we have enough sea water to use directly
C. we haven't used all the water in rivers and lakes
D. about 97% of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly
60. From the passage we learn
A. today in most large cities water is used only once
B. man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth
C. if every city reuses its water, we'll be in no danger of drying up
D. water can be used only once
61. To avoid the serious water shortage, which of the following is the most important
A. Try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water.
B. Make dirty water clean and then reuse it.
C. Don't pollute water and keep all rivers and lakes clean.
D. Save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakes.

One cool moring in 1974， some Chinese farmers set out with their shovels（铁铲）across ther shoulders. They were going to work on the well （井） they had been digging.They spoke and laughed pleasantly among themselves as they walked, but when they reached the well, they became more serious. Each man set his shovel into the soil andbegan to work quietly. Talking took energy away from the difficult task.
After some time, however, one of them cried out."Look at this!" he shouted.
The others gathered around，intrigued（好奇的）.
“What is it " asked one of the men.
＂It is a bit of pottery（陶器），”answered another.
“Why,it looks like a face,” said the first man. “Perhaps it is part of a statue. We had better report this.”
Hearing about what the farmers had found， the government sent a team of archeologists（考古学家）to the well. As they began to explore the place， the archeologists found life-sized clay figures（泥塑）.There were soldiers, horses, and more. Finally, over 7,000 clay figures were uncovered.

One of the differences between those who succeeded and who failed is how they use strong will.Clearly those who succeeded had the ability to use strong will to control their behaviors（行为）.
If a person fails， he will easily fall into the strong will trap（陷阱）. And here is a wrong assumption（假设）. That is ifI failed， it＇s because I just didn＇t try my best and had no enough strong will. Or it can get me through difficulties.
However,what causes us to fail Often, our problem is not that we're weak. It's that we don't have a strong will. In fact, if we can control the problems that control us, we are more likely to control our own behaviors. What you can control is the thought that shapes your behavior. Here is some advice:
*Find out your important moments. It means paying more attention to the key points when solving problems.
*Pay much attention to your important behavior. Try your bestto take necessary action to change the present situation.
＊Remember to solve all the problems actively. Take an active attitude（态度） to the problems.Try to control what's going to control you.
*Turn bad days into good days. Don't let a good day be broken by meaningless things.
Sometimes we can depend on our strong will.And we can also start by changing our environment and remember the ways above.
66.How does the writer start the text
A.By giving an example. B.By raising a question.
C.By telling a story. D.By comparing.
67. Who is believed to use strong will to control their behaviors
A.Young people. B.People who succeed. C.Older people. D.People who failed.
68.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The reasons why we failed. B.The advice to solve the problem.
C.The ways to control ourselves. D.The fact that we didn't try our best.
69. What shuudd youe do when solving problems
A.Change the present situaition. B. Turn bad days into good days.
C.Pay more smenition to the key points. D. Pay attention to your important behavior.

Mr.Gong was angry when he found out that his 12-year-eld child had spent 13,272 yuan from March 17 % 21 when playing video games on his mobile phone. Gong made a complaint and required the video company to return all the money. But"It's in the air so far,"Gong told workers'Daily.
This is not a single case in which children have paid a great deal of money to play online games.The Guangdong Consumet Council（消费者委员会）has received more than 10,000 similar complaints from local parents in the first three months of this year.
Because of the increasing number of similar cases,the council talked with many online game companies in the province, strongly suggesting that they should introduce useful methods to protect the comsumer rights of children.
In fact，many online companies and mobile apps have provided a youth mode（模式），announcing that parents can control the content and limit the time their children spend in using the apps.
However,according to the consumer survey report by the Jiangsu Consumer Council,some of the peotection modes of companies such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili and Team Talk are far from useful.
For example,users of all of the above companies can extend watching time by entering a password （密码）.Team Talk＇s youth mode is no different from the usual mode，which means that children can waich all content. Wang Yihan, 16,from Fuzhou No.I High School,shared her experience.She said"Some apps would only send a notice to check whether the user is over 18 years old. The user can simply choose "Yes'and start playing the game.It's no good."
According to Guangdong Consumer Council,game companies are being advised to introduce dsfferent methods to check who the players are，including fingerprint， password or facial recognition（人脸识别）when children pay to play online games.
70.From the underlined sentence "Ir's up in the air so far",we can guess
A. the company ran out of moncy then
B.Mr.Gong hasn't got the money back
C.the company threw the money into the air
D.Mr.Gong thanked Workers'Daily for belping him
71.Whar's the mcaning of the word "extend" in Paragraph 6
A.Change the way B.Make something longer.
C.Improve the quality. D.Cut something shorter.
72．What can we infer（接断） from the passage？
A. A father is angry with video games.
B. Famous vidco game companies will be against by the public.
C.All protection modes of online games work well.
D.Stricter nales are needed for enline games.
