One day,the train stopped for a short time unusually.My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train's fireman came to the window and shouted to us,"Why are you boys digging in the snow?Are you looking for gold?"he laughed.

"No,sir,"I replied,"We are finding coal."

"Why doesn't your daddy buy coal?It's really dangerous here."

"Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,"I answered.

The fireman turned and went inside.After a moment,he shouted again."Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here.I got something for you."Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal.We were happy with his gift,and we knew we could go home early that day.

He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen."You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I'll throw off some coal."

    Part of Earth's beauty comes from its oceans. Ocean scientists study the chemical make﹣up of the ocean,weather patterns, the geography of the ocean floor, and many other areas. Their work is exciting,although sometimes dangerous. Using technology to do certain tasks helps.For example,robotic arms are used for very dangerous tasks.

    One basic part of ocean study is understanding waves and how they work.Wind is the great maker of waves. The waves we know are mostly produced by winds blowing over the sea. They are directly connected with the wind speed and the time that wind lasts.

    Sometimes ocean life can be seen in the wave.Living things seem to be staying within the wave,moving slowly inside it as if they were weightless.Besides the beauty of waves, scientists are interested in their technical ways. The diagram of waves shows how scientists examine waves. Waves are measured (测量)from the top (crest) to the bottom (trough). This allows scientists to find out the height of a wave. They also measure waves from crest to crest to determine(测定)the length of a wave

    During serious storms, huge waves might cut a sea ship apart. Ships are at great risk of winding up as broken pieces after being hit by the force of a huge wave. By understanding the ocean,scientists can prevent this breakup of ships by predicting when the water will be too dangerous for people and their ships. The study of waves and the ocean also allows scientists to make sure how certain beaches were formed. By studying the oceans, a great deal can be learned about the surface we live on.

(1)Why are robotic arms used? Because  

A. certain tasks are very dangerous

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.
