Bottled water has become the choice for people who are healthy and thirsty. Bottled water is all over the world. But some say the planet's health and people's health may be suffering from it.

The idea that bottled water is safer for humans may not be true. The Natural Resources Defense Council of America said, “There is no promise that because water comes out of a bottle, it is cleaner or safer than water from the tap.” Another New York City-based action group added that some bottled water is “really just tap water in a bottle—sometimes cleaner, sometimes not.”

It is not tested that bottled water is better than tap water. Nick Reeves from the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management said, “The high mineral content(矿物质含量) of some bottled water makes them not good for feeding babies and young children.” Also, most bottled water doesn't have fluoride(氟化物), which can make teeth stronger. Kids are drinking more bottled water and less fluoridated tap water, and some say that's behind the recent rise in bad teeth.

Storing is another problem. Placed near heat, the plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals into the water. Store bottled water appropriately. Bottled water, like many foods and drinks, should be stored in the appropriate way to keep the quality and safety of the product. Keep bottled water out of the light and heat.　

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used worldwide to bottle water each year. The plastic can take between 400 and 1,000 years to break down.

For energy use, plastic bottles are also not cheap. One report said that if water and drink bottlers had used 10 percent recycled materials in their plastic bottles, they would have saved about 72 million gallons of gas.

So, if you are worried about the effect of bottled water on the earth, you can take the following four steps:

Step 1. Drink from your tap. Unless your government warns against this, it should be fine.

Step 2. Get a container(容器). Carry your tap water in a steel or a lined drinking container, and clean it between uses.

Step 3. Keep it cool. Don't drink from a bottle that has been sitting in the sun, don't store it near chemicals, and don't reuse plastic bottles.

Step 4. Choose glass containers over plastic if possible. When finished, recycle!

1.What can we learn about bottled water from the passage?

A. Plastic bottles are not expensive to make.

B. It is tested that bottled water have high fluoride.

C. Bottled water may cause the rise in bad teeth.

D. The plastic can be broken down in less than 400 years.

2.According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ______.

A. bottled water is safer and cleaner than tap water for humans

B. plastic bottles can produce bad chemicals into the water in cool places

C. babies and young children need bottled water with high mineral content

D. gas can be saved if water and drink bottlers had used recycled plastic bottles

3.The writer mentions the four steps to show that ______.

A. we can do something to reduce the bad effect of bottled water

B. we can improve the bottled water by storing it in right places

C. the government is against people to drink tap water in recent years

D. scientists can invent some new materials to produce bottled water

4.What is the best title of the passage?

B. Be careful to drink bottled water.

My now 7-year-old grandson, who lives 100 miles away, has kept my phone number in his mind since he was 4. Since then, he has been 1  me every night before he goes to bed to tell me about his day or just to say “Good night, Grandma.”

He also often calls me at other times during the day just to 2  a happy or sad moment. Many times he’s playing a basketball with one hand, or laughing with a friend about something that I 3  quite understand, or crying about something he may or may not want to talk about while I’m on the other end of the phone. I just listen and empathize (同情) or laugh with him—just share his current (当前的) 4. I always let him control the 5  , and the time he’s on the phone with me. Many times I just listen to him play, or play games we’ve made up together that we can play over the 6  .

The only time I take control of the 7  is when he’s ready to say goodbye at night. Often there are four special 8 I say to him every night. One night I thought maybe he was tired to hear those, so I didn’t say them. He 9  called me back and told me that I forgot to say those sentences! I haven’t missed saying them since then!

My friends all know that he is the most important for me. 10  I’m in church(教堂), or some place where I really can’t take his call, I always politely excuse myself and talk to him, even if it’s just for a minute to tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes.

He knows that he takes first place in my heart.

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am

A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzheimer’s—a degenerative (退化的) disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he’d actually recognize me.

He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him.　 I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.

I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It’s a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world feel a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.

We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn’t remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.

My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.

I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.　

I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.
