Faced with the threat of water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.
Beijing will stick more strictly to water-saving policies through the read-justment of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1.185 billion cubic metres of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption(消耗) and pollution including electric power manufacturing equipment. Advanced water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.
Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other "highly efficient" agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.
It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city's water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998, and the figure will continue to drop to 28-30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation(修复) of its urban water supply equipment. It's reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution(分发). Water-saving equipment can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic metres by 2010.
Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environment. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US$169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city's rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.
The government will provide a further US$24 million for the treatment of rivers and US$12 million to treat waste.
This year's task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupu and Hongkou.
Another emphasis is to raise the water system in Songjiang New Area with a project worth US$4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.

Everyone would like to be a millionaire but can you imagine having over $30 million and being only 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old; she is an international pop superstar with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in Los Angeles. At her young age, she can look after her family financially(经济上) all her life.
This year is a big year for Britney, she is currently on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 every time. It's a tiring schedule(安排表) but brings great rewards. When touring, she goes to bed around l am and then has a lie-in until 1 pm or 2 pm the next day. Her philosophy(人生观) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not satisfied with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to branch out into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in "Austin Powers 3" and she filmed a teenage comedy that was released in March 2003. In this movie, she had a starring role. The movie was her own concept and she picked the writer.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic(热心) about it all. If her movies are successful, her bank account is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she has been quoted as saying she does it for the love, not the money.
5. We can infer from the text that most millionaires are________.
A. older than 20 B. around 50 C. in their 30s D. in their 40s
6. Tickets for her concerts are ________ .
A. cheap B. expensive C. on sale soon D. all sold
7. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. Though young, Britney can support her family now.
B. While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.
C. The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney's own story.
D. Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.

Governors, lawyers and business leaders have to deal with scientists, and every educated person finds his views affected by science. Yet our teaching of science in school and college has built up mistaken ideas, dislikes, and the common boast, "I never did understand science." Even those students who arrive at college with plans to become scientists usually bring a mistaken picture of science: some have a collection of unorganized facts about science, and some regard the study of science as a game which includes getting the right answer.
The first of these attitudes seems to come from a kind of course which provides various kinds of information; the second, from a training course on how to pass examinations that do not ask about the student's understanding but simply require them to put the numbers in the right formulas(公式). Neither type of courses (in school or college) seems to give students an understanding of science as we find it among scientists. Neither shows students how real scientists work and think, how the facts are gathered, how discoveries are made, and what they mean. Young people need good teaching of science, not so much a great wealth of knowledge as a healthy understanding of the nature of science. They need an understanding of knowledge leading to sympathy with science and an eagerness for the way scientists work. Given these, it is easy to encourage later reading and learning.
8. One of the reasons that causes mistaken ideas of science is ________.
A. a mistaken picture in students'mind
B. the unscientific way of teaching of science
C. the fact that students fail to see the influence of science
D. the fact that students have a collection of unrelated facts about science
9. A good course of science is ________.
A. to teach students to do things according to formulas
B. to provide students with all kinds of information
C. to help students have a good understanding and form a correct attitude towards science
D. to encourage students to have a good command of knowledge
10. People such as governors, lawyers and business leaders deal with scientists mainly because ________ .
A. scientists are great persons
B. scientists make discoveries and apply them to help people live a more comfortable, stable and safe life
C. they owe much to scientists'contributions
D. they can be affected by scientists when they are together
