We still haven"t reached the English Channel. Saturday 26th June At last We"ve just passed Land"s End.However,with so little wind,we"Il probably take two more days to reach Southampton. We"re all very hungry. We have already finished all our food. Dawn discovered some emergency rations(给养) -chocolate and glucose (葡萄糖) tablets (药片) -so now we"re eating those. Nobody has complained yet, but I know the girls are feeling quite low. Please God, send us some wind. Monday 28th June 5:30 a. m. We can see some yachts waiting to welcome. It feels great but it is sad to think that after so many days we are almost at the end of our journey. Monday 28th June 11:45 a. m. We"ve done it! This is the most wonderful day of my life.

The World"s Water Shortage The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you,since nearly 70 percent of the earth"s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers (冰川). Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly - almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tank"s. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying (净化) plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we"d have to do to make use of the vast reserves (贮备) of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we"ll be in no danger of drying up. | |||
