Imagine one day the water taps in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money for water from shops, and even electricity use has to be s 1 to match the scarce(稀少的) water supply. And still there isn't e 2 water to everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water for w 3 clothes. Could you stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that is what kids in Yemen are experiencing. A 4 to a report, Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, will run out of drinking water. This serious water shortage has caused a lot of d 5 to people's daily lives. Because of the water shortage, the government of Yemen often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old girl said, “In a good week we'll have a water supply all the week. But then in the f 6 week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to u 7. They can buy water from shops or water trucks. Private companies own the trucks, selling water at very high p 8 that a lot of people can't afford.
The government is t 9 of making use of sea water. However, it will c 10 a lot and may not happen soon enough to help.

五、阅读理解。
①All over the world, buildings are going green! People are making green buildings. What does it mean to go green or to make a green building? A green building is designed(设计) in a way that is not harmful to the environment. The building uses energy, water, and other materials in ways that are good for the environment.
②When planning green buildings, architects(建筑师) must think about how to use energy, water, and materials in an environment-friendly way. There are many ways to save energy.
③Architects can design buildings to use natural light. Buildings can also be made with solar or wind power to get energy from the sun or the wind. To save water, green buildings can have areas on the roofs to collect rainwater. Kitchens and bathrooms can have sinks(洗涤池) and toilets(马桶) that conserve water. As for the materials used to build the building, it is important to use materials that do not have chemicals that are harmful to the air or water. Recyclable materials can also be used for buildings.
④Buildings around the world use all three of these ways to go green. An office building called CH in Melbourne, Australia, uses wind and solar power. A cultural centre in London, England, is made from recycled train cars and is powered by solar and wind power. The Academy of Sciences building in California, the US has recycled materials, solar energy, and a huge “living roof” of plants. A temple in Thailand is made out of one million recycled glass bottles! This is a good use of recycled materials, and it also lets natural light into the temple.
⑤More and more green buildings are being built and they are making the world a better place!
