The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.

　　We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.

　　Global positioning system (GPS) (全球定位系统)

　　It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact(精确地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers.

　　Space Technology

　　Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless(无限的) advantages. It’s even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.

Underwater Robot

Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.

The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

Saving water is an important part of going green. As water becomes less and polluted more, conservation (保护) becomes more and more important. The less water you use, the less wastewater will end up in our rivers and lakes. Wasting water means that more water needs to be treated and cleaned, a process that requires quite a lot of energy.
As it is said above, cutting down on water usage is one of the most important things you can do for your local environment and the planet as a whole. That is why more green households are going blue: cutting down their water footprint by conserving and harvesting (收获) water.
It may seem like a big concept, but going blue starts with small changes that everyone can make. Something as simple as turning off the tap while you brush your teeth can save a lot of water. Wash your fruits and vegetables in a bowl rather than under a tap to save even more. Make sure that the taps are fully turned off every time you step away from the sink or the shower — all those little drips can add up to a lot of water waste.
Another way of reducing your water footprint is reducing your dependence on the main water supply. Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs. Many of us already practice rainwater harvesting in a small way. Collecting water from your gutters (檐沟) is a great way to keep your garden green without running the sprinkler (洒水器).
【小题1】The underlined word “green” means ______ in this passage.

A．嫉妒

B．环保

C．未成熟的

D．健康的

【小题2】According to the passage, which is NOT the reason that people should save water?

A．Treating wastewater needs much energy.

B．The water on the earth is becoming less and less.

C．The water on the earth is becoming polluted more.

D．Rainwater harvesting can meet a lot of your home’s water needs.

【小题3】According to the passage, all of these can be used to save water except ______.

A．washing fruit and vegetables under a tap

B．using a bowl to wash your fruit and vegetables

C．making sure taps are fully turned off all the time

D．turning off the tap every time after brushing your teeth

【小题4】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A．Save Water by Turning off the Tap

B．How to Treat and Clean Wastewater

C．Keep Your Garden Green with Rainwater

D．Save Water Starting with Small Changes

【小题5】From the passage, we can know that_____.

A．we can get enough water by harvesting

B．most people pay no attention to saving water
