One Saturday, while he was walking home in front of' the man with the basket, the man ran away with it.

　　The next Saturday, when Jack went to the market again, a friend of his said, “kook, there he is! The man stole your thing last week!” Jack at once hid behind a shop, and stayed there until he left.

　　His friend was very surprised. “Why did you do that ?” he said. “Well,” said Jack,“that man was canting my basket when he left me a week ago. He'll want me to pay him for seven days' work, and that will cost me more than a basket full of things.”

Long long ago a man went to India and he had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of fruit, but much of it was expensive because they couldn’t grow much because there was little water. Finally he saw a big basket of some very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.

So he went up and asked, “How much each kilo?”and the shop keeper said, “Two rupees(卢比). ”Two rupees in India was nothing. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it:oh, my god!His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burnt, and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying, “Ah!Ah!Ah!”

But he still continued to eat the fruit!Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)!You can’t eat so many!People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that. ”But the silly man said, “No, I can’t stop!I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them up. It’s my money!”

And you think that man was silly, right?We sometimes do a lot of things like that. We spend money, time or effort doing something. And even though it’s been a long time, hard experience tells us it won’t work, and we know there’s no more hope, we still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love in to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.

The areas that are in most need of water are western and northern China, where there is   83  rain. These areas have just six percent of the country’s total water, but that water has to feed one third of Chinese people. Much of the water comes from underground. But using much underground water has made the ground sink（下沉）in some places.

Things are getting   84   worse because people are wasting water. Half of the water that farmers use for crops goes to waste. Factories use more water   85   they need and they put dirty water into rivers and lakes. The less water there is, the more worried people will be. How can we use water in a smart way? It’s a question for you to think about on World Water Day, Mar 22.
