Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams to rivers to oceans. But downhill running isn’t the only way that water moves.A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think about. These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of“virtual water”.
We typically think of water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However, nearly all ---92 percent---of the
water used by people goes into growing crops，according to water researcher Arjen Hoekstra at the university to Twente in the Netherlands. He and his team recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats .These products are shipped around the world.
Virtue water is immense. For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra and his team estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water. Only a tiny amount of that—about 1 percent— is the water actually used in the soda. The vast majority of the water — about 95％—is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料). Another 4 percent goes into the packaging and labeling, said the scientists. In Hoekstra’s calculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad, it exports as much virtual water as would make a large refrigerator full of water.
According to Heokstra’s new report, dry countries like Israel and Kuwait, both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries, through imported products. More surprisingly, a few wetter countries, like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.
In the United States, most of the virtual water used comes from American sources; only about 20 percent of the virtual water comes from outside national boundaries. In China, even less of the water associated with its products — about 10 percent — comes from foreign countries.
Tracing the water trade, Hoekstra and his team turned up other surprising relationships. For instance, often a dry region sends virtual water to a wetter region. Dry areas in northern China, for example, send virtual water to the southern part of that country, which is wetter. Title: Virtual water

三、 阅读理解
18. As we all know , the language is a very important tool for people to communicate with each other. In most of the languages , people usually begin their conversations by a kind of small talk –a casual form of conversation that “breaks the ice” or fills an awkward silence between people . That is to say , small talk means the little things we talk about to start a conversation . In English-
speaking countries such as Britain, people often make small talk about the weather. “ Nice day, isn’t it?” “Terrible weather , isn’t it?”
However, we still have something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable . People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教)or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At basketball matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game , isn’t it?” At train stations, people may talk about the transport system . “ The train service is terrible, isn’t it?”
