1、阅读下面的短文,将划线部分译成英文或中文。
The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while 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. ①Man can only drink and use 1% of water on the earth. It comes from rivers and lakes. And some of the water is polluted, ②因此我们不能全部利用它。
Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? ③首先,我们应该学会怎样节约用水。Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the 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. ④Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. Thirdly, there is a lot of water in the sea. What we need to do is to separate (分离) the salt from sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. ⑤Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

26、It is easy to believe that the daily life of a plant is simple and boring. They seem to just stand there and sunbathe. In fact, plants are always busy doing many things. Measuring(估量)light is one of them. This activity helps plants to plan better for the future.
To start with, we should know how plants feel the light. In fact, there are some special proteins(蛋白质) in their cell(细胞). Once receiving light, they will call on other cells to produce, resulting in the growth towards the light.
Then what can plants get from measuring the changes in the amount(量)of daylight? This helps them to tell what time of the year it is. If a plant is beginning to get more daylight, it knows it’s spring. Because of this, it may then start producing flowers.
If the amount of daylight starts to get low, the plant knows that autumn is coming. It may start to store “food” for its growth. For example, the potato plant will make tubers(块茎)—the potatoes that we eat.
Plants record not only the amount of daylight they receive, but also the quality(质量) of light. Some forms of light can help plants grow better. Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being separated through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right form of light when it is prevented from getting light by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight.

A.They store light for it.
B.They eat its natural enemies.
