Many people like eating meat so much that they can't enjoy a single meal without it． After seeing a new study， they may want to change their eating habits．
Scientists at the Harvard School of Public Health have found that having too much red meat can cause a higher risk of early death． These "dangerous" meats are the ones that look red before they're cooked， such as pork， beef and rabbit． Scientists published the study results in a medical magazine．
The scientists studied the eating habits and health of more than 110，000adults for more than 20years． They did a survey on their diets every four years． During the 20years of research， almost 24，000people died， including 5，910from heart disease and 9，464from cancer．
Scientists examined different lifestyle factors（因素），including age， weight， physical activity and family history of heart disease． They also studied the amount of different foods they ate， such as corns， fruits， vegetables and fish．
The results showed that eating one meal a day of cooked red meat was connected with a 20percent higher risk of early death．
"The message we want to communicate is it would be great if you could lower your intake of red meat to half a serving（一份）a day or two to three servings a week，"the study's lead author， An Pan told the USA Today．

The world uses about a thousand million （百万） tons of water a day． Water is a human right and everyone should have their share． Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean， safe water．
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us． And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans． 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all， and it is running into oceans．
But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater．
While 75% of our planet is covered with water， only about 2% is fresh water﹣that comes from rivers， lakes， ice and snow． The rest， 98% of the water， is in seas and oceans． It is too salty to drink． Then desalinationbusinesses come in． More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world， mostly in coastal countries． They process（加工） more than 92 million tons of water every day． But the technology they use requires a lot of energy．
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology． They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough． But for now， the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone．

We often face the following situations in our daily life：
•The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night
•The family across the street never cleans up their yard．The rubbish blows into your yard．
•The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive．
Have things like this ever happened to you？If so，you may ask yourself，"Who are these people？Why are they doing these things to me？"
These days，many people don't know their neighbors．Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello，but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names!When you don't know someone，it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair．You think，"Maybe they like to make me angry，"or"Maybe they do it on purpose．"Believe it or not，your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate you．Often，they don't even know that they're making you feel angry．So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem，you should discuss it with them first．
When you move towards your neighbors，you should talk to them in a friendly manner．Praise their children to make them feel good．Then explain the situation．And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem，suggest it．
If talking doesn't work，ask another person to help，This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation．
Finally，sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem．Depending on the problem，it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way．
