Farmers use 70% - 85% 0f the world freshwater to produce food. People usually don't pay much attention to how much water industry(工业)uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries.
Home use takes up（占据）only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, more water will be used. The local government has to try to make people useless water. In 60% of European cities, people are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use. In Australia, the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use, The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water. Scientists and the UN are looking for good water management as the key to solving the problem. We can all work together to protect our fresh water in our daily life.

When hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit America in October, they moved to a safer place-13km away from home. Sadly Vivien went missing. The whole family were worried about her. They put up posters on the Internet to look for her. All the nine family members searched wherever they thought she could stay, but they didn't find it. The family thought Vivien was gone forever.
But six months later, Vivien showed up at their house, according to Yahoo News. They considered her return as a wonder. No one can be sure where Vivien was for all that time.
