A Country Mouse once invited his city cousin to visit him on the farm. He planned to show the City Mouse how happy life in the countryside could be. But there had been no rain that summer and the earth was very dry. Nothing would grow. As the two mice sat eating some rice they had been able to find, and looked over the dead fields, the City Mouse said, "Dear cousin, your life seems so hard here. Why don't you come to the city with me where I can give you anything you want?"
The Country Mouse loved his home and had never left it before. Although life was sometimes difficult, he could always find enough to eat. But the City Mouse would not give up. He told the Country Mouse of the big dinners he would enjoy every evening and the bright lights that made the night in the city seem like day. Finally the Country Mouse agreed to go to the city with him. When they arrived, true to his word, the City Mouse prepared a big dinner of fresh bread, fruit, cheese and chocolate cake.
Just as they were about to eat, the door flew open and in came a woman, the home's owner, who ran angrily at the mice. They quickly ran away through a small hole in the wall, but things went from bad to worse. They found themselves on a busy street, facing hundreds of human feet and worst of all, dozens of fast traveling cars. The Country Mouse was scared, hungry and did not know what to do. When he turned to his cousin for help, he saw the City Mouse was already far away, running into a dark, quiet street.

Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world. 29 billion bottles of water are drunk each year. It takes 17 million barrels of crude oil to make these bottles. That's enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.
So why don't more people drink water from the tap(水龙头）in the kitchen? Some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but that's not true. In the United States, the government makes sure water from the tap is safe.
People love bottled water because it is convenient(便利的）to take with them. But maybe if they understand the problems it makes, they will try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable bottle instead of a plastic one. Although plastic water bottles can be turned into some other useful things, only a small number of them are reused. The rest are taken away in rubbish trucks, or even worse, they end up as rubbish on the land and in rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bottles take hundreds of years to break down.
Water is good for you, so keep drinking it. But think about how often you use plastic water bottles, and see if you can make a change. If you take one to school, don't throw it away一bring it home and put tap water in it for the next day.
51. How many plastic water bottles do Americans use every year?
A. 1 million B. 17 million C. 12 billion D. 29 billion.
52. Why do Americans love bottled water?
A. It's good for the environment B. It is easy to carry.
C. It is cheap D. It is good for their health.
53. The underlined word "they"(paragraph 3) refers to " ”
A. the problems B. the bottles
C. the rubbish trucks D. the glasses
54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It takes a long time to make plastic water bottles.
B. Only a few plastic water bottles are reused.
C. Plastic water bottles are made from useless things.
D. People who drink tap water are healthier.
55. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It is important to save water.
