Many places in the world need more fresh
（淡的）water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?In some places, the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day. In such places, other ways of heating
（加熱）sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling（煮沸）sea water with high heat, a lot of freshwater can be made quickly. But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried. One way is freezing（冷凍）. The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out. Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way for each place. Symi's way seems very good for small, hot places. It does not make very much water at a time. But the factory is easy to build and costs little.

Three friends wanted to sail around the world in a small yacht. They took food and water with them and set off. They traveled to many beautiful places, and were having a wonderful time. Until one day, when they had been at sea for about a month, a fierce storm blew up. Great waves sank their little yacht.
The three friends were able to struggle to the island, taking with them as much food as they could carry. Not a tree, not a bush, not a flower, grew on the island. There was not an animal of any kind, not even a bird or an insect. For a few weeks the three men were able to live on the food they had saved, but finally it was gone.

Some people remember things by writing notes to themselves. Then they leave the notes in obvious places, such as on the table or on the floor in the middle of the living room. I don't think I like to write notes to myself. Most of the time I lose them or forget to look at them until it's too late. I prefer to use an alarm clock to tell me what I should do. I have ten alarm clocks in my house. They could tell me about things. For example, if I have to make a telephone call at a certain time, I'll set an alarm clock to go off a few minutes early and put the clock by the telephone. Or if I wane to watch a certain television program, I'll set an alarm clock at the right time and put the clock on top of the TV set. By doing so I can remember almost everything. However, sometimes an alarm clock goes off and I don't know what it means. I always remember setting it, but not why I set it. If the clock is by the telephone, I know I may have set it to tell me to call someone, but I can't be sure. I might have set it to tell myself that somebody was to call me at a certain time.

A close friend of mine lives with six hundred wild animals on the Greek Island of Kyklos. Ever since he left school (where I first knew him) he has traveled all over the world collecting animals for his very own zoo. He hoped to collect at least two examples of every sort of animal on his land, like Noah before the Great Flood. But the flood that my friend was afraid of, was a flood not of water, but of people. I expect you have heard of my friend: he writes books about his travels, and about the wild and wonderful animals that he collects. The money from the books helps to pay for all the food that these animals eat.
My friend told me that when he was out looking for water last week (there is not enough water on the island, though there is plenty all around it) , he found oil. He needs money for his travels, and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy enough water for a lifetime; but he knows that if tells anybody else about it, it will be the end of his zoo, and his life's work.
