54、 European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.These we re the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and

55、official with the water authority, said Shanghais water consumption will not increase from its present amount.Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will

56、not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of Chinas economy.Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure（基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施）costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustme

57、nt of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”Shanghai lacks drinkab

58、le water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.Besides penning regulations, the authority

59、is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.At present, the city has 600，000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for

60、 households at a cost of 40 Yuan each.In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment.At present the city can only treat

61、44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.56. People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from

64、 advanced technology makes people use water as much as possibleD. there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present58. The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to          .A. make peoples l

70、be renovated to save water within 3 years    B Sub-Saharan Africa has the worlds highest hunger rate. But according to a new report, African farmers also have ideas that could help the worl d fight hunger and poverty. Danielle Nierenberg from the Worldwatch In

71、stitute in Washington spent a year v isiting twenty-five countries south of the Sahara. In Nairobi, Kenya, for example, Ms Nierenberg found women farmers growing vegetables just outside their doorsteps in the Kibera settlement. She says they are finding ways to make the

72、ir lives better. The women feed their families and sell their surplus. They use the money to send their children to school.Last year, about 925,000,000 people worldwide did not get enough to eat. Half of all people in the world now live in and around cities. Researchers like Ms Nierenberg

73、are looking increasingly at creative ideas to feed those who dont have enough good food to eat. She says there are a lot of lessons that people in the Western world can learn from Africa. And what they are doing can certainly be done in other developing countries.Farmers in the developing world

74、 lose between twenty and forty percent of their harvest before it ever reaches market. There are many reasons why food gets wasted. Farmers are without electricity and cold storage. They lack good seeds and fertilizer. They lack good roads. Conditions like these keep small farmers in poverty. Ms Nie

75、renberg says more attention needs to be paid to protecti ng harvests. She says, “Given all that we invest in producing food in the first place, we need to devote the same amount of attention to making sure that it is not wasted.”In Nigeria, village processing centers are helping farmers re

76、duce their losses and earn more money. They centers process cassava, a root vegetable, into basic food products. In Uganda, the Worldwatch report says some schools are teaching children how to grow local kinds of crops. And in South Africa and Kenya the report praises the breeding(培育) of local

77、kinds of livestock. These animals may produce less milk or meat than other breeds, but they can survive heat and drought conditions.61.We could learn from the new report in Para.1 that         .     A.sub-Saharan Africa has the wo

86、ou can imagine that I was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief at a Chinese funeral.My editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. He was 31. The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk.

87、 Somehow we got through the day's work. The next day was the funeral.Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy(悼詞) and was soon in tears. She carried on, in Chinese of course, but at the end said in English: "There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven." Next came a long-t

88、erm colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute, weeping openly as he spoke. Sorrow is spreading. Me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, the man's mother, supported

89、 between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. She almost collapsed and had to be held up. We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the

90、 outpouring of emotion.In the UK, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral. Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair. It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for f

91、ear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the West.Afterwards, a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained(克制) by Chinese standards. In some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. This struck me like something out of novel by

92、Charles Dickens. But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank, in Afghanistan, Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. Chinese grief is no different. I realized that it's the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world.66The underlined words “stiff upper lip style” in Paragraph 1 mean “_”.Acold-blooded
