1 . It is December 25th, 2050. The people in the city are all celebrating Christmas. I'm the mayor (市长) of our city. My citizens (市民) and I are holding a big party under the sea, though you wouldn’t believe it. But please do not feel excited, you should feel sad because we have to live under the sea. Because of the pollution, the Earth has been completely destroyed (毁灭), from top to bottom. The atmosphere (大气层) has no Oxygen and moisture. As a result, the plants are burned by the strong sunlight with a great number of harmful rays. Of course, none of them are still alive. Not only no green, but also the temperature reaches about 121℃ all day even in winter because there is too much CO2 circling the Earth.
On the land, there is no life. Luckily, the sea is not destroyed by human. So, we have to move into the sea. At the bottom of the water, people have built many new cities. There is a lot of advanced (高深的，先进的) equipment in each city. Computers are used to control all the machines, even the people’s life. We can also make the seawater into fresh water. There are two machines making oxygen. If they stop working for only one minute, more than 10 million people will die.
The population of our city is over 30 million and, of course, it is quite crowded. We have lots of high buildings and bridges. The roads are wide, too. Our cars are small UFOs. Don't be surprised. It is true. At the bottom of the sea you can't see anything, because there is no light all day. However, we have advanced lighting equipment so that we can see the “sun” under the sea. Of course, the advanced lighting equipment is very expensive. And if it doesn't work, we can see nothing under the sea. What should we do then?

3 . In the United States, people are lucky to have an easy way to get clean — just by tuning on the tap (龙头).
We wake up in the morning, take a shower, brush our teeth, drink a cup of coffee and go out to enjoy a beautiful day. Water is an important part in our daily lives and we use it for different purposes, but do we really know how much we use?

Water also plays a big part in our local communities (当地社区). Without water there would be no local business or factories. Fire fighting, parks, and public (公众的) swimming pools all need lots of water. To bring us much water, we need a lot of pipes to our taps each day.
Where does all this water come from? It starts out as rain or snow and flows (流) into our local lakes, rivers and streams or into underground You can learn more about water in your country, for example, how people protect water and where your local drinking water comes from.

10 . "I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net."
"I often check my e-mail forty times a day."

"I spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life' friends."
