There are many types of maps in the world. Most of them are widely used in our everyday life. Different maps have different uses.When we are in a new place, a proper map may help us solve the problems easily.

Tourist (游客) maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area.When tourists read these maps,it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places, too.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long trips. We use different numbers to stand for different roads. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution (分布) maps use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, what languages people speak, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

22、   One night, John came into the stable(马厩), calling, “Wake up, Beauty!”

He put my saddle and bridle on and rode up to the front door of the house. The Squire was there.

“John,” he said, “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Ride to the doctor’s and give him this note.”

“Now, Beauty, do your best,” said John.

I went as fast as possible.

When we arrived at Dr. White’s house, John told him: “Mrs. Gordon is very ill. Squire Gordon thinks she is going to die. Please go to see her immediately.”

“Yes,” said the doctor, “but my son has my horse. Can I have yours?” he asked.

The doctor was heavier than John, and not such a good rider. But I did my very best and went as fast as possible. When we got to Birtwick Park, Squire Gordon was at the door. The doctor went into the house with him, and Joe led me to the stable. I was glad to be home. My legs were shaking, and I was very wet. Joe was young and he forgot to put a warm blanket on me. Then he gave me cold water to drink. Soon all my body began to shake, and I felt very cold. A long time later John came back. He covered me with two or three warm blankets, and ran to the house for some hot water. He gave me some warm food, and then I think I went to sleep.

Over and over again, John said to himself: “Stupid(愚蠢的) boy! Stupid boy!”

I was now very sick, and John was nursing me night and day. The Squire came to see me. “Poor Beauty,” he said one day. “You saved Mrs Gordon’s life.”

24、   AII living things on the Earth need water to live. Yet humans are facing serious water problems. According to the United Nations, today over 663 million people live without a safe water supply close to home.

To remind people of the importance of water, the UN first set up World Water Day in 1993. It is on March 22 each year. From March 22 to 28 is also the China Water Week. The first year’s theme is “Waste water”. It tried to call on people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it.

In Australia people make good use of waste water. Most Australians have a grass lawn around their home instead of washing the car in the street. Many of them wash it on the lawn to keep the grass longer so that it covers the ground and reduce evaporation(蒸发).

Rainwater may seem useless to you. But you can also reuse it. People in Germany collect rainwater to wash their toilets. Most houses in the country that are built in the last few years have rainwater collection devices (设备). Rainwater is collected from the root, and then linked to the toilet. But if you don’t have the device just put a bucket(桶) under your roof when it rains.

Water makes up 71 percent of the. Earth’s surface. But we can only use a very small part of it. Only about 3 percent of the world’s. water is fresh water. It’s in lakes, rivers and underground.

Over 80 percent of the waste water in the world goes back into the nature. It has not been cleaned and pollutes the rivers and lakes. Unsafe water makes around 842 ,000 people die each year.

By 2030, about half of the world’s population could be facing water problem. By 2050, as many as seven billion people across the world could not have enough water supplies. The world’s population might be 9. 3 billion by then.
