If this 13year old American boy succeeds in climbing Mount Everest, he has modest ambitions-pick a small piece of rock from the top as a memento (纪念品) and wear it in a necklace.

Far more people in India have access to a mobile phone than to a toilet, according to a UN study. India's mobile users totaled 563.73 million at the last count, enough to serve nearly half of the country's population. But just 366 million people-around a third of the population-had access to proper sanitation (卫 生设施) in 2008, said the study published by the UN University, a UN thinktank. "It is a tragic irony (讽刺) to think in India, a country now wealthy enough that roughly half of the people own phones, so many people cannot afford the basic necessity and quality of a toilet, " said UN University director Zafar Adeel. Adeel heads the UN University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health, based in the Canadian city of Hamilton, which prepared the report. Worldwide, an estimated 358 billion dollars is needed between now and 2015 to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving the proportion of people with inadequate (不充分的) sanitation from 2000 levels. "Proper sanitation could do more to save lives, especially those of young people, improve health and help pull India and other countries in similar circumstances out of poverty than any alternative investment, " Adeel said. Poor sanitation is a major contributor to waterborne diseases (水传播疾病), which in the past three years alone killed an estimated 4.5 million children under the age of five worldwide, according to the study. The report gave a rough cost of 300 dollars to build a toilet, including labour, and materials.The world could expect a return of up to 34 dollars for every dollar spent on sanitation through improved productivity and reduced poverty and health costs, said Adeel.He said improving sanitation was an economic and humanitarian opportunity of historic proportions. |

A. preventing waterborne diseases B. saving lives of young people C. pulling developing countries out of poverty D. improving the quality of mobile phone and getting more information |

I remember that when I was in my teens, I used to go against many of the Dos and Don'ts my parents taught me.For example, when I kept playing jazz records on the player, my father would think of such music as making noise and replace them with disks of classical music that I always considered extremely dull. My mom and dad were also very particular about the friends I went out with, always saying that "One rotten (腐烂) apple could ruin a whole barrel of apples". When I insisted on sleeping with my pet dog, they immediately said NO because they thought that I would be bitten by fleas (跳蚤). These are just a few examples of many of the things that I thought my parents were unreasonable about.Today, however, I am a father of a boy of sixteen, and I find that I, too, am pressuring my son with a lot of rules that he seems to find hard to accept.The other day, I noticed that my son's hair was too long, so I told him to go to the barber's and get it cut short.Usually, he is fairly obedient, but this time he put_his_foot_down."What's wrong with my long hair?I don't think you have the right to order me to cut it short, even if you're my father!" When I was a boy, if I had spoken in such a way to my father, he would have taught me a good lesson.But now we are living in a world with more freedom.My son's insistence on wearing his long hair was only an example of the generation gap that existed between us.So I tried to be more understanding and now he still wears his long hair. |
