He brought some back to the oldest man in his village, who had been his teacher before. After a four-day journey he sent the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village happily. The next day, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It went bad because it had stayed in the old leather container(皮革容器) for so many days in such hot weather. The student asked his teacher why he pretended(假装) to like the awful water. The teacher replied, You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for love and kindness. And nothing could be sweeter than these.I think we understand this lesson best when we receive small gifts of love from very young kids. Whether its a slice of bread or a piece of colored paper, the natural and right response(反应) is to show our thanks and happiness because we get love from the gift.To show our thanks doesnt always come naturally. Unfortunately, most children and many adults only see the thing itself. They never feel the meaning of the thing. We should tell ourselves and teach our children about showing thanks and happiness to the persons who give the gifts from their hearts because gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart. （1）Where did the young man find the water?A . In a springB . In a river.C . In a lake.D . In a village.（2）How long did the water stay in the old leather container?A . Six days.B . Five days.C . Four daysD .

But now they have another reason.Eating less meat can help to prevent climate change, according to a recent study published in Nature.Raising livestock (家畜) is bad for the environment. When animals like cows digest (消化) food, their stomachs make greenhouse gases, which are a major cause of global warming.

Forests play a key role in fighting global warming because they absorb greenhouse gases.Eating less meat according to certain guidelines could cut global food-related emissions by nearly a third by 2050, the study found. Maintaining (保持) a vegetarian diet in the long term could bring down emissions by 63 percent.But eating less meat wont be easy. According to the study, people in Western countries will need to eat 90 percent less meat than they do now in order to have an impact (影响) on our climate.

They produce 75 percent less greenhouse gases than livestock.Some experts are creating lab-grown meat. They make meat in a lab using livestock cells (细胞).
