10、years now, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. Luckily, new research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to n

11、ew pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted(抽取). The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers(地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be three times what was previously thought.The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping

12、will be expensive and there are other concerns. The biggest concern of pumping out water from this deep is the gradual settling down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the vacant space left is compacted(压实) by the weight of the earth above.Even though pumping from these depths is expen

13、sive, it is still cheaper than desalinating (脱盐) the ocean water in this coastal state. Some desalination factories exist where possible, but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater, and California is hoping that these deep wells may b

14、e the answer to their severe water shortage.One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers. This means that some wells may even need to undergo desalination after extraction, thus increasing the cost. The result of a thorough study of gr

15、oundwater from over 950 drilling logs has just been published. New estimates of the water reserves in the state now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.21. How could Californias drought problem be solved according to some researchers? A. By building more reserves of groundwater. B. By

16、drawing water from the depths of the earth. C. By developing more advanced drilling machines. D. By improving its water distribution system.22. What is mentioned as a consequence of pumping water from deep underground? A. The sinking of land surface. B. The harm to the ecosystem. C The damage to aqu

17、ifers. D. The change of the climate.23. What does the author say about deep wells? A. They run without any need for repairs. B. They are the final solution to droughts. C. They are entirely free from pollution. D. They provide a steady supply of freshwater.BIn one of the old buildings near our schoo

18、l, one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor. His name was James. During the three years at school, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.He was a highranking government official and lived happily with his wife. Once there was a bus accident, in whic

19、h a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment. James was responsible for the rescue operation. It was a big hospital, but James was shocked to notice how illequipped it was. There were no enough lifesaving drugs and lifesupporting equipment. The injured

20、 and their companions had to struggle there. James attempted to help. However, though he emptied his pockets, many of them died that day.That was a turning point in his life. He made a decision to devote his life to helping others，particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions. He beg

21、an spending much of his income on these people. Since this required a lot of time and energy, he found it difficult to fulfill his official duties and therefore chose to retire, which, in turn, reduced his income considerably.His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time, James was out and paid leas

22、t attention to home affairs. Meanwhile, as he was spending a lot helping others, she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses. Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor, she urged him not to overlook his own life and home, but it had no effect on him. One day they had a heated ar

23、gument and in the end she left him, never to return. Though he continued with his work, this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and he was soon forced to stay indoors. That was when he took his position by the window, spending his time looking outside.A few weeks afte

24、r my graduation, I returned to school, only to find the buildings gone. I heard that they were torn down. All the people left except James. He refused to go and the next morning, he was found at his usual place by the window, dead.24James chose to retire in order to Atake care of the injured passeng

He attempted to know the outside lifeCA growing number of smaller companies are adopting a four day workweek. Now the results of a recent trial at Microsoft suggest it could work even for the biggest

28、 businesses.The company introduced a program this summer in Japan called the Work Life Choice Challenge, which shut down its offices every Friday in August and gave all employees an extra day off each week. The results were promising: while the amount of time spent at work was cut dramatically, prod

29、uctivitymeasured by sales per employee went up by almost 40% compared to the same period of the previous year, the company said in a statement last week.In addition to reducing working hours, managers urged staff to cut down on the time they spent in meetings and responding to emails. They suggested

30、 that meetings should last no longer than 30 minutes. Employees were also encouraged to cut down on meetings altogether by using an online messaging app.The effects were widespread. More than 90% of Microsofts 2,280 employees in Japan later said they were impacted by the new measures, according to t

31、he company. By shutting down earlier each week, the company was also able to save on other resources, such as electricity.Japan has long battled with a cruel-and in some cases, deadly-culture of overwork. The problem is so severe that the country has even coined a term for it: karoshi death by overwork from stress-induced illnesses or severe depression.The issue attracted international attention in 2015, when an employee at Japanese advertising giant Dentsu committed suicide on Christmas Day.
