13．　　Do you often get nervous when your exam results are about to be announced ?Do you want to know your rankings (排名) in your class and grade?
　　In your opinion, should teachers share your test scores in class or with your parents?Recently, students' privacy(隐私) has caused a heated discussion on social media.

　　What's the point of testing if the results aren't made public?Students will be able to know where they need to work harder after comparing their grades with others'. Kids shouldn't be like flowers in the greenhouse. They need to face the reality and learn to solve their own problems.
　　Lucy
　　I agree that primary schools shouldn't make test scores public. When it comes to middle schools, however, it's not that bad for students to experience and get used to the competition. Besides this, students who have made progress should be praised for it.
　　Mary
　　When I was in school, I would feel really nervous every time my teachers were about to announce our test scores in front of everyone. I would become very sad whenever I didn't do well on an exam. It felt like everyone was laughing at me for it. I was afraid that some of my favorite teachers would even look down upon me because of it.
　　Richard
　　Why not just let students know their own grades as well as the average and the top grades of the class?This way, they will be able to know where they stand in the whole class. At the same time, their privacy can be protected as well.

14．　　Temidayo Adedokun, 31, who was born in Nigeria and now is working in America, would soon have her first child. She could' hide her joy and couldn't wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing.
　　"I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced local products that were designed(设计) from an authentic(原生态)place, " Temidayo said.
　　Temidayo decided to take matters into her own hands. At first tried to create clothes just for her baby. But then, she put some of them on a website to see what happened.
　　The active replies she got gave her just enough encouragement. She believed she'd make the baby clothes an after﹣work side business to her full﹣time position as a lawyer in Oakland, California, until one day she was told she was given a boot. Once again, she needed to make her own choice. That's when she decided to make it a full﹣time job.

"Or am I going to take this as a chance I'm not sure about myself?After all, this field is litter known to me.

15．　　From goldfish to sharks, " fish of all sizes have lived on Earth. For hundreds of millions of years. . But do they ever get thirsty?
　　The answer is yes!some fish do. at least , But there is a big difference between fish that live in saltwater and ones that live in freshwater.
　　Bony fish have some salt concentration(含盐量)in their bodies. For bony fish in saltwater, their concentration is lower than the water they live in. Through osmosis (渗透作用), . these fish will lose lots of water through their bodies. In order to make up for this loss, they drink lots of water, so it's easy to say they can be thirsty. Although drinking saltwater is never a good idea for humans, fish can drink it because they can get rid of the salt through their gills (鳃).
　　But sharks are an exception. Sharks can make their salt concentration match the water around them. They do this by building up urea(尿素)in their blood, so they probably don't get very thirty, But blood with a high salt concentration can also be bad. The high concentration means sharks won't do very well in freshwater—water can enter the sharks' bodies by osmosis and even cause them to explode!
　　Freshwater fish, on the other hand, are unlikely to become thirsty, Because they live in a less salty environment, they have a different problem:water goes inwards and dilutes(冲淡)their blood. Freshwater fish therefore need to get rid of this extra water. So now we know that saltwater fish can become thirsty and drink water, while freshwater fish will avoid drinking but pee(小便)a lot.

16．　　Water shortages influence so many lives. The company Watergen produced a new machine to help solve this problem. The machine, called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can produce up to 30 liters of water a day, More importantly, it can produce clean water out of air.
　　GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter (过滤器) to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even I areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a room where heating and cooling turns steam in the air into water. This water is then passed through several more filters, and minerals are added to make it healthier and better﹣tasting. Finally, the water is kept in a tank where it is continually recycled to keep it fresh.
　　The heating and cooling process, called GENius, is far more energy efficient than other technologies that produce water from air It produces four to five times more water per kilowatt﹣hour(千瓦时). Watergen has other products that use this same technology in a larger size, the largest of which can produce up to 5, 000 liters of water per day.
　　As a company, Watergen aims to provide drinking water to the billions of people who don't have safe drinking water at home, Last year Watergen's large size products were given to the local government in Brazil, Vietnam and India.
　　Watergon tries to help the environment by reducing waste caused by plastic bottles. People can put the water from GENNY into reusable bottles so that plastic ones don't get used and thrown away. It also calls for saving energy. There are even two types of GENNY:one that uses the electrical power supply and another that rums on energy from solar power. The latter one is particularly useful for villages or other areas not connected to an electrical network.
　　Watergen's technology is sure to help many people around the world as well as help take care of our planet.
