The Manneken Pis is one of Brussels’ most popular tourist attractions. It has been peeing (撒尿) fresh water into a fountain in the Belgian capital since the 17th century. Now, the peeing boy has finally become environmentally friendly.

To everyone’s surprise, the famous statue used to waste 1,000 to 2,500 liters of drinking water a day. He peed water directly into the city’s sewers (下水道).

Energy engineer Regis Callens found this waste after fixing a water meter (水量计) in the statue. If his calculation is correct, then the peeing boy has wasted more than 250 million liters of water over the last 400 years.

As a result of this finding, a new system for delivering the water back to the naughty boy was created. Now he will no longer waste clean drinking water. Instead, he will use water recycled from a closed circuit (闭合回路). That means the water he pees out will be used again in an almost endless cycle.

The solution came out during the Brussels Water Week. A local official said, “We will also set up the system in schools and sports centers. We should set an example. We will encourage everyone in Brussels to pay attention to their water consumption.”

The Manneken Pis is a copy of the 1619 original, which is in a nearby museum. He is often dressed up in different costumes throughout the year to celebrate festivals and special events.

1.What wasn’t expected by the public according to the text?

A.The Manneken Pis was environmentally unfriendly.

B.The calculation of Regis Callens was not correct.

C.The system was created to send water back to the boy.

D.The city’s sewers were blocked because of the statue.

2.What can we learn from the words of the local official in Paragraph 5?

A.The solution was useful to local people.

B.Water waste will become more serious.

C.Citizens are encouraged to protect the statue.

D.The system will be used widely in the future.

3.Which one can be the best title of the text?

A.A Popular Tourist Attraction B.A Water-saving Statue

C.A Water Meter in the Statue D.A Solution to Water Waste
