A
Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. Some teenagers can't stand eating alone in the dining hall,
and girls even go to the restroom hand in hand. They fear being called a “loner”. In these cases, we might use the
word “loner” in a disapproving(不赞成的) way. However, it can actually have a good meaning as well. It all depends
on our attitude toward being alone.
“It's hard to feel lonely when you're trying to master a new skill, practice a hobby or try out a new recipe,” wrote
US lifestyle writer Adrienne Breaux. She used to be a terrible cook, but whenever loneliness hit her, she would buy a
lot of ingredients and figure out how to make them into delicious dishes. After a few months, she became good at
cooking. If you can make use of your solo(单独的) time, you'll find that it won't trouble you.
People are becoming more peaceful about being alone. This doesn't mean we should totally shut ourselves
from the outside world, of course. But it doesn't hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.
“Honjok” in South Korea
“Honjok” has become a growing lifestyle in South
Korea. The word comes from “hon” (alone) and “jok”
(tribe 一族). These people eat alone, travel alone, and
enjoy being by themselves. “I hope it grows into a
self-supporting culture of happiness,” said Jang Jae
Young, a South Korean who runs a website about this
solo lifestyle called honjok.me.
Loner Economy(经济) in Japan
There are many solo karaoke bars and solo cafés in
Japan. Ramen( 拉 面 ) restaurants for solo diners are
especially popular. Boards separate each seat. Diners fill
out a form to place an order, and then press a button to
call the waiter. They don't see the faces of other
customers or waiters.

When was the last time you used a phone booth(电话亭) on the street?With the rise of mobile phones, they have
become something out of date. But Shanghai is trying to bring a new life to the old phone booths by turning them into
mini-libraries.
电话亭将被分成三种类型。 One type is that each will offer 60 books for people to read or borrow. A second
type will allow users to listen to audio-books(有声书) and even record their own voices. A third type will show old
photos and works of famous artists.
Once Upon a Place
It's an art program for phone booths in New York City. Three phone booths are built on Time Square. When
visitors pick up the phones, they can listen to stories about the newest New Yorkers.
They can also open the books inside to know more about the storytellers. Or they can share part of their own
stories if they wish to.
Shanghai isn't the only city trying to save the old phone booths.The British care about them even more, since the
red phone booths have long been a part of the country's symbol. The world's first phone booth was built in the 1880s
in Germany. But in the 1930s, the UK painted them red.
In recent years,the country has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The phone booth is a
pretty special space and has been roles in many movies.
Movie Scenes
·Superman
Every time the man plans to become Superman, he hides in a phone booth to change clothes.
·Doctor Who
The hero is a scientist from outer space. He time-travels through a police phone booth.
·Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
In the movie, a red phone booth acts as an elevator. Harry uses it to enter the Ministry of the Magic.
They added screens and free Wi-Fi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and
weather reports.
Also people can rent(租)some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than 1,500 phone booths
have been turned into shower rooms, according to the Sina News.
Maybe in the future phone booths will be used in a more creative way.

You might not think of England as a place with a water shortage(短缺) problem.
However, Bevan, a government worker, warned at a recent meeting that England will run short of water in 25
years. He said that it is facing “the jaws of death(鬼门关)”.
A major reason for the water shortage is the change of weather. As recently as 2017, Britain saw its driest
10-month period in more than 100 years. In 2018, many lakes ran dangerously low because it rained much less than
ever.
By 2040, more than half of UK summers will be hotter than the summer of 2003, and water supply from rivers
could fall by between 50—80 percent. In 2003, the UK experienced one of the most serious heat waves in recorded
history.
另一个主要原因是英国人在日常生活中浪费太多水。
Water Use at Home
Bathroom:
56 liters,
40%
Toilet: 31 liters,
Each person in Britain uses about 140 liters(升) of water every day through
taking showers, washing machines and gardening.
“People don't see water as something we need to save…everyone thinks
that we are a wet country,” Hannah Freeman, a charity worker, told the BBC.
Bevan said that people should try to save water and that people could cut
their daily water use from 140 to 100 liters.
“There are simple steps we can all take…Get a low flush toilet(抽水马桶).
Take short showers, not deep baths…Don't water your lawn( 草 坪 ): It will
survive without you,” he said at the meeting.
Wherever you are in the world, water is valuable. Our world is 70 percent
covered by water, but only 2.5 percent of it is fresh, and only 1 percent is easily to get. So we should all do our best to
save the water we are lucky enough to have and not be wasteful.
1.How soon will England suffer from a shortage of water?

3.List one reason for the water shortage in the UK.
