任务型阅读，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
The English language is changing all the time. New words are created, like DIY, SDA and e-mail. How do words come into English? Many words are borrowed from other languages. From Chinese, for example, English has borrowed words like kowtow and kung fu.
Words have also come into English in unusual ways. Words like classroom and mooncake are two short words which are put together. Also, parts of two words are put together and become a new word. For example, smog comes from smoke and fog. Some words come from longer words, like TV from television, and math from mathematics. Don’t you think all these make English an interesting language?

The world is not hungry，but it’s thirsty. 1while we say we are short of water.Why？Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can‘t drink or use for watering plants directly.Man can only drink and use the 3% of water that comes from rivers and lakes. 2，because some of it has been polluted.
Now more water is needed.The problem is how we can avoid a serious water shortage in the future. 3 Scientists are making study in this field.Today，In most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.but it can be used again.Even if every large city reused its water，the water will still not be enough.4 .
The sea seems to give us the best answer.There is a lot of water in the sea.All that needs to be get the salt out of the sea water.This will be expensive，but it has already been used in many parts of the world. 6So you see，if we can find out a way，we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did， their lives changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near one another, so the first village was established. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became even larger.
When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.
Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?
