一、阅读理解
Yesterday evening, when Hu Wei was showering, he suddenly heard a voice from above his head. "Hurry up! You've been in there for three minutes!"
The boy was puzzled(困惑的). "Excuse me. Who's over there?" he looked up at the showerhead and asked. "It's me. The Four-Minute Shower," the voice replied.
"The Four-Minute Shower? Who showers for only four minutes?"
"Well, you should," Mr Shower replied. "Everyone. I mean everyone should keep their showers short."
"But why?" Hu asked.
"The world is running out of clean, fresh water, you know. By 2050, about half of the world's population will experience water shortages for at least one month a year. We must do something to save water before it's too late."
"Got it. I'll try to finish my shower as soon as possible," Hu said. "Thank you for your advice. Bye."
"I'm not finished yet," said Mr Shower. "I have one more piece of advice."
"Well, go ahead. I'm all ears."
"You should replace(替换) your power showerhead with a regular(常规的) one," said the Four-Minute Shower. "A regular showerhead uses 10 litres of water a minute. A power showerhead can use up to 20 litres."
"All right. I'll let Dad know. Anything else?"
"Well, sometimes, you can try taking a cold shower in the morning. A cold shower will force you to finish in four minutes. And you'll help save gas or electricity."
"Cold showers? Um... okay, I'll think about it."
"Thanks," Mr Shower replied. "Now I'll go next door and spread the words."
Hu looked up at the showerhead again. The voice was gone, but Mr Shower's advice kept ringing in his head. He quickly finished his shower and turned off the tap.
