For some reason, I decided it was up to to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and same pushing over to see what had happened.When he appeared,I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame.

It seems strange that while three-quarters of the world’s surface is covered with water, getting an adequate (充足的)supply of it that’s fresh, clean, and safe to use for drinking, cooking and washing, is one of the most important problems that faces humanity. Most of the earth’s water is salt water in the oceans, only three per cent is fresh and only a small part of that is possible. It may be trapped deep underground, and anyway unequally exist around the globe, so the happening of droughts and floods. Of the remaining fresh water, much is polluted and dangerous to use.
A large part of UNICEFs work is bringing safe water to people and educating them in basic health care. Some diseases spread by polluted water are the most common causes of death and illness in children under five in the developing world.
Although water gives life, it can also carry some kinds of disease- a leading cause of blindness among children. Mosquitoes, and flies that live near in water bring yellow fever, malaria(疟疾) and sleeping sickness, so good piped water supplies are needed to reduce the need for people to gather in such an area. In the country, women and children a major part of their time going out to collect water, often walk many miles each day to provide just the limited family needs for cooking, washing and drinking. And they can’t carry much while walking over rough fields bearing a heavy bucket.
Because children have to play their part in family life, and that includes getting water, they may be unable to go to school, or be so tired when get there that have difficulty learning. They may even have to spend the whole day without a drink as may mot be any clean water there, either.
Last year, UNICEF(联合国儿童基金会) aimed to get almost 90,000 water systems setup, to benefit 20 million people, working where it is most badly needed, often just to ensure keeping alive. A well may woman the difference between life and death.

DFloods and droughts have taken place time and again.
64Which of the following statements is NOT true?
AWater can spread diseases.
BThere would be no life without water.
CWater has something to do with some children’s death and illness.

Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure(结构) of the food, not its chemical composition (成份)-a finding that could help break away from some chemicals. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem. Both are small globules(小球) of one liquid spread throughout another. The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the research. In careen, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery road are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria(细菌) which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture. "This means that in cream, the
bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture," he says. When in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out. They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products." In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing," says Brocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the food’s structure.
Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make something changes of the for instance, more like that in butter, The key will be possible to make something used in salad cream liquid and mot taming like it into a solid state.
67The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that.
Ait suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals
Bit discovered small globules in both cream and butter
Cit showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter
Dit found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
68According to the researchers, cream goes bad faster than butter because bacteria________.
Aare stronger in cream
Bincrease their number more easily in cream than in butter
Clive on less fat in cream than in butter
Dproduce less waste in cream than in butter
69According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh but________.
Aremoving its fat Bkilling the bacteria
Creducing its water D changing its stricture
70The underlined word"colonies" refers to________.
Atiny globules Bwatery regions
Cbacteria society Dlittle departments
71Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack________.
Aby changing its chemical composition
Bby turning it into a solid lump
Cwhile keeping its structure unchanged
Dwhile its liquid form remains
