The world is not only hungry, it will also be thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salty(咸的) water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water(淡水) which comes from rivers, lakes and underground.
The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers(覆盖) quarters of the earth, it looks very beautiful when the sun is shinning on it. But it can be terrible when there is a strong wind.
Some parts of the sea are very deep. There is one place near Japan. It's nearly 11 kilometers high. If we put that mountain into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it!
The sea is salty. There is one "sea" called the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is not a sea. It's a big lake in the Jordan Valley. It's the saltiest. It's near the city of Jericho. It's about 80.kilometres long, between 4.8 and 17.7 kilometers wide. The river Jordan runs into the Dead Sea. The sun is not there and the water is salty. Fish can't live in the Dead Sea and plants can't grow near it. People can't swim well in the Dead Sea, but they can't float(漂浮) on the water. The water is very blue and the air is clean. In winter, people come to the Dead Sea to enjoy the sunshine.

The best way to show gratitude(感谢) to your parents
Wherever we are today, whatever we are, we owe it to (归功于)our parents who have given and taught us so much. We have only one set of parents, and we should show them how grateful (感激的)we are for everything that they have taught us. Whatever we do to express(表达) our thanks, the important thing is that they know how much we love them. Let’s see how some people show their thanks to their parents.
JETT PANGAN: I like making my mom proud of me. My mom is a widow(寡妇)and retired, so I’ll always be around her. I won’t make her feel lonely.
MIGUEL MENDOZA: The best way I can show my gratitude is to write a song for them and sing it.
NAR CABICO: I will thank my parents by doing well in school in order not to make them worried.
RAJO LAUREL: My parents taught me that the best way to reward(回报) them is to help those in need. So I will become a man for others.
YANAH LAUREL: By showering(给……一连串的) my parents with lots of hugs and kisses. By telling them I love them.
